Shipping Cost from Marseille to Yokohama

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.

For reliable car shipping, companies like Montway Auto Transport, RoadRunner Auto Transport, AmeriFreight, and Mercury Auto Transport are consistently praised for good communication, punctuality, and strong customer reviews, with some noted for specific strengths like customization (Montway) or transparent pricing (RoadRunner). Reliability often depends on the specific carrier assigned, so checking reviews for individual companies and carriers is key.
