Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Honolulu, Hawaii to Munich

Shipping your car via train is the cheapest way to do cross-country car shipping, although this is limited only to certain areas.

You will pay about 10% for customs duty, excise duty from 3,1% to 18,7% of the car's value, and VAT will be 19% in the case of a standard car and 8% for a vintage car. The costs of transporting a car imported from the USA to Europe range from approximately $1150 to $2250.

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.
