Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Maputo to Bangalore

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.

Car shipping costs generally range from $400 to $1,500+ for domestic moves, depending heavily on distance, vehicle size/type, and transport method (open vs. enclosed); short trips might be $400-$800, while cross-country can hit $1,200-$1,500+, with larger SUVs or luxury enclosed transport costing more. Expect to pay less per mile for longer distances, but overall costs rise with mileage.

Please ensure that your vehicle is compliant with South African and Mozambican legal requirements : Vehicle registration papers: if the vehicle is not registered in your name then obtain a notarised and stamped letter of authorization from the owner of the vehicle to drive and to take the vehicle into Mozambique.
