Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Tunis to Columbus, Ohio

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.

Shipping a car from Dubai to the USA costs roughly $1,500 to $7,000, depending heavily on the method ( RORO is cheaper, Containers pricier), your specific ports, and the car's size, with transit taking 3-6 weeks by sea. Key factors are the shipping method, vehicle specs, destination port in the US (LA, NY, etc.), and significant extra costs like US customs, duties (around 2.5% value), and EPA compliance, making it complex and potentially more expensive than buying in the US, especially for non-US spec cars.
