Q:Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?
Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.
Q:Can I bring my car to China?
Eligibility to import a car into China Only holders of “Z” visas – permanent residence cards, can import a vehicle. Only legal residents are allowed to import a car. Among them, only those who have “foreign expert status” which is provided by the PSB (Public Security Bureau) and the visa departments can import a car.
Q:Is it cheaper to ship a car by train or truck?
If you need to ship your car to the other side of the country – train shipping will be more economical. If you need fast delivery right to your place – shipping by truck will be your best option.
