Shipping Cost from Lusaka to Abu Dhabi

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

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.
