Shipping Cost from Maputo to Johannesburg

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.

For the cheapest car shipping, look into AmeriFreight, American Auto Shipping, and Navi Auto Transport, often recommended for low estimates or budget-friendly features like no hidden fees. The most cost-effective method is typically open transport (vehicle exposed to elements) and using terminal-to-terminal service instead of door-to-door, while platforms like uShip let you compare quotes from many providers to find the best deal, say Forbes and uShip.

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.
