Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Ouagadougou to Bratislava

How much does it cost to ship a car from USA to Slovakia? The average price to ship a car from USA to Slovakia ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Slovakia from the United States are 10% duty + 21% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Slovakia.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but shipping can become comparable or even better for very long trips when factoring in hidden driving costs like hotels, food, tolls, and significant wear & tear/depreciation, especially if you value your time or have an unreliable car. The cost-benefit ratio shifts with distance, so compare actual quotes for shipping versus estimated expenses for gas, lodging, tolls, food, and lost time/value if driving yourself.

The cheapest kind of international car shipping is a RORO vessel. This shipping method is often more affordable for shipping cars than containers or air freight. However, it also leaves your vehicle more susceptible to damage during transport to your final destination.
