Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lincoln, Nebraska to Singapore

Singapore's "10-year car law" centers on the Certificate of Entitlement (COE), granting vehicle ownership for 10 years, after which owners must renew (for 5 or 10 more years) by paying the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP), sell, or deregister/scrap the vehicle, as the COE effectively controls the vehicle population on the island. This system, designed to manage congestion, requires owners to pay significant costs for the right to own and use a car, with renewal options tied to the vehicle's age and statutory lifespan.

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.

Import and register a car. You can import a new car directly from the manufacturer or from a country with safety and exhaust emission standards that are higher than or equivalent to Singapore. You can also import a used car that is less than 3 years old, and also classic or vintage cars.
