Shipping Cost from Manila to Bratislava

How much does it cost to ship a car from USA to Slovakia? The average price to ship a car from USA to Slovakia ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Slovakia from the United States are 10% duty + 21% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Slovakia.

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.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.
