Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lusaka to Riyadh

Customs Clearance: On arrival, submit the documents to the Saudi Customs Authority. Pay all customs duties and taxes that shall be due, depending on the value of your vehicle and other factors. Pay the 15% added tax plus 5% customs tax, if applicable.

Shipping a car by plane is very expensive, costing anywhere from $2,000 to over $30,000, depending heavily on distance (domestic vs. international) and vehicle size, making it 5-10 times pricier than ground transport, typically reserved for luxury or time-sensitive moves. Domestic flights might start around $2,000-$4,000, while international trips can easily reach $15,000-$100,000+, with larger SUVs or luxury cars costing much more due to weight and space.

Can foreigners buy cars in Saudi Arabia? Yes. Expats with a valid Iqama (residency permit) and a Saudi driving license are eligible to purchase cars in Saudi Arabia. Make sure your documents are updated before starting the process.
