Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Moscow to Kigali

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

High Taxes on Fuel Cars: Importing petrol or diesel vehicles includes multiple duties— 25% customs, 18% VAT, plus excise tax based on the car's age and engine size. Longer Delivery Timelines: Between shipping and processing, it can take 4–8 weeks (or more) before your car is road-ready in Rwanda.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.
