Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Copenhagen to Accra

Shipping a 40ft container to Ghana in late 2025 typically costs between $3,000 to $6,000+ for ocean freight, varying significantly by origin (China, USA, Dubai), fuel prices, port congestion, and carrier, with higher rates from the US ($5,000-$6,000 average) and potentially lower from Asia, plus extra fees like handling and documentation in Ghana.

Step 1: Understand Ghana Vehicle Import Eligibility Before shipping, confirm that your intended vehicle meets Ghana's import regulations: 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.

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.
