Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Sao Paulo to Lisbon

Portugal applies 23% VAT on the comprehensive import value, including vehicle cost, ISV, and customs duties, creating a compounding tax effect. IVA Calculation Base: Vehicle CIF Value: Cost, Insurance, Freight value at Portuguese port. Plus ISV: Adding calculated vehicle tax amount.

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.
