Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hamburg to Delhi

Import duty on cars varies based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value, with a 100% customs tax for values over USD 40,000. For used vehicles, the import tax rate is 125%. The vehicle needs to be registered at the nearest RTO in India. Charges for registration and road tax are excluded from the import duty.

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.
