Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Antananarivo

An imported vehicle capable of carrying more than ten people is subject to 20% customs duty and 20% value-added tax, while lighter vehicles are subject to a 15% reduction under the IEPA (Interim Economic Partnership Agreement). Note that the import of a disabled vehicle is exempt from VAT.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

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.
