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

You will pay about 10% for customs duty, excise duty from 3,1% to 18,7% of the car's value, and VAT will be 19% in the case of a standard car and 8% for a vintage car. The costs of transporting a car imported from the USA to Europe range from approximately $1150 to $2250.

The average cost to ship a car to France from the USA ranges between $1,050 and $1,800 per car. This port-to-port shipping cost does not include vehicle collection, destination fees, import duties, and cargo damage protection.

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.
