Question 1

What is the 3 year rule for cars in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.

Question 2

What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What is the cheapest international shipping from Japan?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

How much does luggage transfer cost in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Luggage forwarding in Japan (Takuhaibin) is surprisingly affordable, typically costing ¥1,500 to ¥3,000 (around $10-$20 USD) for a standard suitcase between major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, with prices varying by size, weight, and distance, often arriving next-day via services like Yamato Transport (Kuroneko) or JAL ABC. Larger bags or longer distances cost more, but it's a reliable, convenient way to travel hands-free, with most hotels helping you arrange it.
