Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chennai to Stockholm

You apply to the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) for verification of the origin of your car. Once the origin has been verified, you must contact a car inspection service for a registration inspection. The Swedish Transport Agency has drawn up a checklist for the import of vehicles.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Shipping a car from the USA to Europe generally costs between $1,000 and $4,000+ for the base ocean freight, depending on location (East Coast cheaper), vehicle size, and method (RORO vs. Container), but you must budget for significant extra destination fees, duties, and taxes (often $500-$1000+) in Europe, plus insurance, making total costs highly variable. Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) is usually cheapest but exposes your car, while enclosed containers offer more protection but cost more.
