Dubai city serves as a gateway to the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, making it an ideal location for businesses and individuals looking to import or export vehicles to or from these regions. In addition, Dubai is home to several world-class ports, including the Jebel Ali Port, which is one of the largest ports in the world, with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. Hence Dubai is one of the largest hubs for international car shipping, thanks to its strategic location, advanced logistics infrastructure, and favourable business climate.
When our clients decide to ship a car to Dubai, ask many questions about the final costs to ship a car to this sunny destination and are confused by the multiple quotations they may obtain by multiple sites and try to compare them to make a final decision.
What it is important to understand is that the costs to ship a car is very variable as it depends on many factors.
Shipping companies are there to guide you throughout the process to ship a car and propose their best offers to ship a car based on the parameter provided by the vehicle owner.
To compare different quotation to ship a car it is risky, as many of our clients do often compare different parameter and inclusions/ exclusion so it is wise to look at some costs as below:
Shipping Fees: Depending on the method (RoRo or container), the cost varies. Typically, shipping a car to Dubai may range from $900 to $2,000 USD or more, depending on factors like the size of the car, shipping method, and distance.
Insurance Costs: Consider purchasing insurance before ship a car as during transit, especially if you’re opting for RoRo, you want to have your car protected and RORO it doesn’t offer as much protection as container shipping.
Customs and Duties: Once your car arrives in Dubai, you’ll need to clear customs. Dubai charges customs duties (usually around 5% of the vehicle’s value), along with a registration fee if you intend to drive the car in the country.
Make sure that the Shipping costs provided from the Shipping Company are fully inclusive of the Shipping Fees at departure, the Insurance costs that will cover your vehicle during shipping and that the customs, duties and port discharge fees are all taken into account!
