Shipping Cost from Mumbai to Copenhagen

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.

For short distances (under 300 miles), driving yourself is usually cheaper since you avoid booking a carrier. For medium to long distances (over 500–1,000 miles), shipping often becomes the more economical option once you factor in gas, lodging, food, maintenance, and time off work.

Shipping a car by plane is very expensive, costing anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000+ for domestic routes and potentially $15,000 to $100,000 or more for international trips, making it 5-10 times pricier than ground transport, reserved mostly for high-value or exotic vehicles needing speed or special handling. Costs depend heavily on distance, vehicle size, and service, with international flights often exceeding the car's value, according to RoadRunner Auto Transport, Mercury Auto Transport, AmeriFreight Auto Transport, Easy Auto Ship, FlightAware, and WeShipCars.
