Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to Berlin

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 Germany to the United States typically takes between 2 weeks to 6 weeks, with the average transit time being around 25 days. This timeframe can vary based on several factors, including the starting port in Germany and the destination port in the USA.

Importing a car from Germany to the U.S. involves costs for the car itself, shipping (around $1,000-$3,500+), import duty (typically 2.5%), customs fees ($200-$500), insurance, and potential modifications for U.S. compliance, making the total highly variable but potentially ranging from $12,000 to well over $100,000, depending on the car's value and condition.
