Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lagos to Riga

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.

Shipping a car from the USA to Europe generally costs between $1,000 and $4,000+ for the base ocean freight, depending on location (East Coast cheaper), vehicle size, and method (RORO vs. Container), but you must budget for significant extra destination fees, duties, and taxes (often $500-$1000+) in Europe, plus insurance, making total costs highly variable. Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) is usually cheapest but exposes your car, while enclosed containers offer more protection but cost more.
