Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Singapore to Barcelona

Singapore's car law centers on the Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which grants vehicle ownership for 10 years ; after this period, owners must deregister the car, sell it, or pay to renew the COE for another 5 or 10 years, with renewal costs based on the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to manage limited road space and traffic.

Import duty costs from the UK to Spain are around 10% of the vehicle's value, and you must also pay 21% VAT (known as IVA in Spain). However, there are some circumstances where some of the taxes may be set aside, so it's always a good idea to seek professional advice.

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.
