Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Osaka

Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.

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 Europe to the USA typically costs $1,200 to $3,500, depending on origin country, U.S. port, vehicle size, and shipping method. Roll-on roll-off is the most affordable, while container shipping costs more for added protection. Customs fees, port handling, and inland U.S. delivery also affect totals.
