Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lusaka to Accra

Shipping a 40ft container to Ghana in late 2025 typically costs between $3,000 to $6,000+ for ocean freight, varying significantly by origin (China, USA, Dubai), fuel prices, port congestion, and carrier, with higher rates from the US ($5,000-$6,000 average) and potentially lower from Asia, plus extra fees like handling and documentation in Ghana.

Step 1: Understand Ghana Vehicle Import Eligibility Before shipping, confirm that your intended vehicle meets Ghana's import regulations: Age Limitations: Ghana restricts used car imports to vehicles 10 years old or newer. Left-Hand Drive Requirement: Only left-hand drive vehicles may be imported.

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.
