Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Marseille to Dakar

Shipping a 20-foot container to Senegal typically costs $2,100–$4,000 ; pricing depends on port access, carrier rates, and season. Average transit time from U.S. ports to Dakar ranges from 18–32 days depending on origin, carrier schedule, and customs delays.

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.

Taxes and Import Duty Customs Duty : The EU and the USA have a trade agreement that generally allows for duty-free import of American-made cars into France. However, it's essential to confirm the specific regulations and rates with French customs at the time of import.
