Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Toronto, Ontario to Abu Dhabi

The cost to ship a car from Canada to Dubai ranges between CAD 3,000 and CAD 7,000, depending on the vehicle size, shipping method, and destination port.

What are the costs of importing a car to the UAE? Costs include a 5% customs duty on the car's value, 5% VAT on the car value plus customs duty, shipping fees (AED 2,000–10,000), inspection fees (AED 200–500), and registration fees (AED 400–1,000).

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.
