Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Port Moresby to Maputo

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

Please ensure that your vehicle is compliant with South African and Mozambican legal requirements : Vehicle registration papers: if the vehicle is not registered in your name then obtain a notarised and stamped letter of authorization from the owner of the vehicle to drive and to take the vehicle into Mozambique.

There's no single "cheapest" company, as prices fluctuate, but Ship a Car Direct, SGT Auto Transport, Montway Auto Transport, and Sherpa Auto Transport often appear as low-cost leaders, especially for standard open transport. Using platforms like uShip or Shiply can also yield cheaper quotes by comparing many carriers, with Shiply's marketplace sometimes offering significantly lower prices as carriers bid for your job. The best strategy is to get multiple quotes for open transport (cheapest) and compare bids from brokers and direct carriers, using services like uShip or Shiply for broad comparison.
