Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Prague to Tirana

Car Import Regulations & Taxes in Albania Albania generally allows the import of used cars, but older vehicles with high emissions may face restrictions due to environmental laws. Taxes include 10% customs duty plus 20% VAT on the CIF value. Additional excise taxes may apply for vehicles with larger engines.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.
