Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to London

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

Make an import declaration. You must pay a shipping company or customs agent to do this for you. They can either do this before bringing the vehicle in or at the UK border. Pay VAT and customs duty at the UK border - your shipping company or customs agent will usually arrange to do this for you.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.
