Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Phoenix, Arizona to Barcelona

Shipping a car from the USA to Spain generally costs between $1,000 and $3,800+ for ocean freight, depending on the method ( RoRo vs. container), origin/destination, and vehicle size, with container shipping often more secure but potentially pricier than shared containers; you must also budget for Spanish import duties (10% duty + 21% VAT) and local fees unless relocating as a returning resident with specific exemptions. Expect transit times from about 3-6 weeks.

If you're importing a car into Spain for a temporary amount of time, it can be done without having to pay taxes and duties for a period no longer than 6 months. After those six months, you'll be required to either export the vehicle or pay the required taxes and duties if you plan to apply for permanent residency.

Shipping a car from the USA to Europe costs roughly $1,000 to $4,000+, varying by method (RORO, container), vehicle size, origin/destination ports, and added fees, with shared containers being cheaper but exclusive containers offering better protection; expect extra costs for port fees, customs, taxes, and potential import duties (especially for non-EU registered cars).
