Shipping Cost from Riga to Barcelona

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.

The amount to be paid at Customs is 10% of the Customs Duty on the market value of the vehicle, and in addition 21% VAT. The value of the vehicle is calculated with the tables of the BOE, where you can also obtain the market value (value at current date, not value of the new vehicle).
