Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Cotonou

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.

Shipping a car to Africa typically costs between $1,200 and $3,800. Rates are driven by destination country, U.S. departure port, vehicle size, and shipping method.

One of the biggest advantages of importing cars from China is affordability. Chinese manufacturers benefit from large-scale production, streamlined supply chains, and efficient labor costs, which translate into significantly lower vehicle prices compared to Western or Japanese brands.
