Shipping Cost from Johannesburg to Sofia

You simply need to drive the car to Bulgaria, or alternatively we may assist you to transport the car to Bulgaria. If your car is imported from a country outside the European Union or EEA, you will need to pay import tariff and VAT. The import tariff in Bulgaria is 10% and the VAT is 20%.

The average price to ship a car from USA to Bulgaria ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Bulgaria from the United States are 10% duty + 20% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Bulgaria.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.
