Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Diego, California to Lagos

A saloon car by sea freight to Nigeria from UK can start at £850. A standard 4 by 4 vehicle shipping to Nigeria from UK can start at a cost of £1700. It takes about 4 – 8 weeks for the vehicle to arrive in Nigeria.

Shipping a car from the US to Nigeria generally costs between $1,100 and $8,000+, depending heavily on the method ( RoRo vs. container), size, origin US port, and destination Nigerian port, with RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) being cheaper ($2k-$5k) and container shipping more expensive, plus significant extra costs for Nigerian customs, duties, and port fees. Expect total transit times of 40-60 days, but always get quotes from several shippers for accurate pricing.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.
