Below are 4 things you need to know about shipping your car from USA to Lagos





1. How long does it take to arrive to Nigeria from USA?

It takes an average of 6 weeks after you purchase the car. 2 to 4 weeks after the vessel sails. What may really take your time is waiting for the next available ship. This drawback still does not stop you from doing the paperwork with the shipping company and dropping the car you want to ship at the port.

2. What is the shipping cost to ship your car from USA to Lagos?

The cost is $800 for ocean freight from most ports. It’s $900 – $950 from the ports in Texas. Trucking to the port depends on the distance. It can be as low as $150 or as high as $1,500 if you buy from a very far location from the port.

3. Which is better, RORO or Container to Lagos?

It depends on preference. RORO is simple to ship and clear. Container can become cumbersome to ship and clear if you don’t own all the cars in it and you have to peer with others. Container is usually safer from people who steal at the port.

If you have up to 4 cars to ship at once, you can opt for the container because it’s a very good option. You are fully assured of the safety of your goods and you can also load other items in it.
