Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Accra

Shipping a 40ft container to Ghana typically costs between $2,500 and $6,000 for ocean freight, but prices fluctuate widely based on origin (US, China, Dubai), fuel costs, port fees, and carrier, with potential extra charges for customs, VAT (15%), and local delivery in Ghana. For instance, from the US, it might average around $5,900, while from China, you might see rates from $2,800-$3,500, and from Dubai, closer to $2,800-$4,500.

Age Limitations: Ghana restricts used car imports to vehicles 10 years old or newer. Left-Hand Drive Requirement: Only left-hand drive vehicles may be imported. Emission Standards: Vehicles must comply with international standards; avoid models flagged for excessive emissions or safety recalls.

The cheapest way to ship a car cross-country is usually open transport via a multi-car carrier, as it's much cheaper than enclosed shipping, with costs reduced further by being flexible with dates, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in advance, and getting multiple quotes from companies like uShip or Cars.com. Alternatively, driving it yourself or arranging a driveaway service can be cost-effective, but you must factor in gas, lodging, and wear.
