Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Saint Petersburg

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 is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.

However, such goods may not be imported into Russia without the difference in import duty rates being paid. The current customs duty rates on new passenger cars are harmonised and are 30% of the customs value of the car, but not less than 1.2 – 2.8 Euros (EUR) per cubic metre of engine capacity.
