Shipping Cost from Port Moresby to Djibouti

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

The cheapest kind of international car shipping is a RORO vessel. This shipping method is often more affordable for shipping cars than containers or air freight. However, it also leaves your vehicle more susceptible to damage during transport to your final destination.

Car shipping costs generally range from $400 to over $1,500, with shorter trips (under 500 miles) costing $400-$800 and cross-country transport from $1,200-$2,000+, depending heavily on distance, vehicle size/type, and open vs. enclosed transport. Open transport (cheaper) is standard, while enclosed (for high-value cars) costs 30-50% more, with seasonal demand also impacting prices.
