Shipping Cost from Lagos to Lisbon

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.

Non-EU Vehicle Imports (USA, UK, etc.) Customs declaration is required (DAV – Declaração Aduaneira de Veículo). Your car must be registered within 60 days of arrival in Portugal. Clear customs: Submit DAV form via Portal das Finanças and pay VAT (23%) + ISV (5% – 15%). Book IMT appointment: Use SIGA platform.
