Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from New York, New York to Kigali

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.

In addition, imported cars will pay Common External Tariff import duty applicable of 25 % and all relevant taxes up to the Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value of USD 60,000. Anything above USD 60,000 will not.

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.
