Shipping Cost from Douala to Singapore

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 cost of shipping a car from the USA to Cameroon depends on departure port, shipping method, and vehicle type. RORO shipping typically costs $1,200 – $1,700, while container shipping ranges from $1,800 – $2,500. Customs charges include 10% import duty, 18% VAT, and excise taxes depending on engine capacity.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using open transport (large multi-car trailers) for standard vehicles, booking during off-peak seasons (winter months), being flexible with pickup/delivery dates and locations (terminal-to-terminal is cheaper), and comparing quotes from multiple reputable brokers or marketplaces like uShip or GoShip. For very short distances or budget-conscious movers, driving it yourself or using a U-Haul trailer might be cheaper than professional shipping.
