Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Karachi to Bucharest

First and foremost, Romania allows the import of used cars that meet at least Euro 4 emission standards. While Euro 4 is the minimum, vehicles meeting higher standards (Euro 5, Euro 6) are increasingly preferred and may face lower taxes. All imported vehicles must be right-hand drive to be road-legal in Romania.

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.

Approximately 85% of the cars imported to Pakistan are used vehicles. The average cost to ship a car to Pakistan is around $2,500.
