Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from New Delhi to Munich

Generally, driving is cheaper than shipping for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks and shipping can become a better value for long hauls when factoring in hidden costs like wear & tear, time, and your own travel expenses (lodging, food). For very long trips (1000+ miles) or unreliable cars, the added costs of driving (depreciation, maintenance, fatigue) might make shipping more economical overall, say Move.org and SoFi.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using open transport on a multi-car trailer, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, and being flexible with dates, especially during the off-peak season, while booking ahead and getting quotes from multiple carriers. This method is significantly cheaper than enclosed transport, though your car will be exposed to the elements.

The duty-free import of a motor vehicle is permitted only if it has been registered in your name as its sole owner and personally used by yourself at your previous residence for at least 6 months before moving (for proof show registration certificate issued by your Department of Motor Vehicles).
