Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Taipei to Seoul

To import a Car in South Korea, the owner will have to live in the country for at least one year. Another requirement is that you must own the vehicle for three months before you can ship. However, you cannot import a Japanese car into the country.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Shipment Service members assigned to U.S. military components operating in Korea may be authorized to ship one privately owned vehicle (POV) at government expense as part of their Permanent Change of Station (PCS). This entitlement must be explicitly stated in your PCS orders.
