Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Long Beach, California to Oslo

How much does it cost to ship a car from USA to Norway? The average price to ship a car from USA to Norway ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Norway from the United States are 10% duty + 7.7% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Norway.

The cost of shipping a car from the USA to Europe starts at around $900 per car in a shared container (consolidated container) to roughly $2,900 inside an exclusive 20ft container or around $4,200 inside an individual 40ft container.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.
