Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Melbourne

Shipping a car to Australia involves various costs, with prices typically ranging from $2,100 to $4,025 USD. The import duties for bringing a car into Australia can vary significantly, from 0% to 100% plus local VAT, depending on the car's age, value, and type.

To estimate car shipping costs, use online calculators, factoring in distance, vehicle size/type, transport method (open is cheaper than enclosed), and season/urgency, with longer distances lowering the per-mile rate but increasing total cost, and expect costs from around $0.60/mile for long hauls to $2.00+/mile for short ones, plus potential extra fees for inoperable cars or peak seasons.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.
