Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Manila to Lyon

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

Outside of these parameters you are likely to pay around 10% customs in addition to VAT at 20%. Mixed use vehicles up to 22% customs plus VAT. If an historic vehicle (at least 30 years old) you can get complete exemption of customs plus a lower rate (5.5%) of VAT.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.
