Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Abu Dhabi

Car Imports from USA to the United Arab Emirates can be performed using a shared container, a sole container or a roll-on/roll-off service. Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) – RoRo shipping is our most cost-efficient option! The only added car shipping fees are port and customs clearance charges.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

The UAE applies a standard 5% customs duty on most passenger vehicle imports based on CIF (Cost, Cargo Coverage, and Freight) value, though certain categories may face different rates or additional requirements.
