Shipping Cost from Cartagena to Dubai

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.

The UAE applies a standard 5% customs duty on most passenger vehicle imports based on CIF (Cost, Cargo Coverage, and Freight) value, though certain categories may face different rates or additional requirements.

You can ship your car to the UAE by container, in which case your car will be loaded and secured into the container at the port of departure. We can also load and secure vehicles at our main terminal in Bristol.
