Shipping Cost from Montreal to Johannesburg

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.

You can only import a second-hand vehicle into South Africa if you have been granted a permit to do so. The importation of used vehicles is restricted to protect the local motor vehicle manufacturing industry. Permits are only issued under specifically defined circumstances.

For cheap shipping to South Africa, choose slower methods like USPS First Class/Priority (if from the US) for small items, or opt for sea freight for bulk/heavy goods ; for faster service, compare discounted rates from courier aggregators (Parcel Monkey, Global Shopaholics ) or consider slower express services like FedEx Economy/UPS Expedited, as prices vary wildly by size, weight, speed, and provider.
