Shipping Cost from Saint Petersburg to Ouagadougou

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.

It's often cheaper to ship a car by train, especially for long distances on specific routes like Amtrak's Auto Train (DC to Florida), offering enclosed protection for potentially less than an open truck carrier; however, for general cross-country moves not on Amtrak routes, truck (open carrier) is usually the most economical, though trains offer better protection and environmental benefits if available.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.
