Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Tallinn

The cost of shipping a car from the USA to Europe starts at around $900 per car in a shared container (consolidated container) to roughly $2,900 inside an exclusive 20ft container or around $4,200 inside an individual 40ft container.

The average price to ship a car from USA to Finland ranges from $1150 to $2850, and the duties to import a car to Finland from the United States are 10% duty + 24% VAT of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in Finland.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.
