Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Luanda to Kiev

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport, where your vehicle is exposed on a multi-car trailer, and by being flexible with dates, booking in advance (2+ weeks), and comparing multiple carrier quotes. For even more savings, consider terminal-to-terminal shipping, using a car shipping marketplace like uShip to get bids, or even hiring someone to drive it if feasible.

Duty is the first tax that is assessed during the customs clearance process. Its amount is determined as a percentage of the estimated value of the car, which is specified in the customs declaration and is confirmed by documents (invoice, "purchase", expert opinion). The standard duty rate for passenger cars is 10%.
