Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Perth to Manchester

It's usually cheaper to drive your car than to ship it, especially for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks with longer trips, and shipping can be better if you factor in time, wear-and-tear, potential breakdowns, or if your vehicle is in poor condition. Driving covers your personal travel costs (gas, hotels, food) plus added vehicle wear, while shipping involves paying a company for transport, with open trailers being cheaper than enclosed ones for more valuable cars, and inoperable vehicles costing more to ship.

Often, the safest, simplest and cheapest way to do international car shipping is in a shipping container. You can ship one or more motor vehicles in an ocean container with no other items, or you can include one or more vehicles together with miscellaneous personal effects.
