Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Kigali to Hanoi

Regarding types of vehicles allowed to be driven into Vietnam, under Decree 151, foreign-plated vehicles permitted for participation in traffic in Vietnam include passenger cars of up to eight seats (excluding the driver's), both left-hand drive and right-hand drive, motorhomes and two-wheeled motorcycles.

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.

If you only plan on moving abroad for a few months or a few years, you may want to have your vehicle stay with a family member. If you don't plan on shipping the vehicle back home, it makes the most sense to ship your car overseas since you'll save some money and can sell it there in the future.
