Vehicle Shipping Methods to Cape Verde
Roll-on/Roll-off Shipping
RoRo service is designed for wheeled cargo that can be driven safely onto and off the vessel. It is often the most economical option for an operable car, SUV, van, or truck. Availability varies by carrier and sailing schedule, so our team confirms the current service before booking.
Container Shipping
Container service provides enclosed transport and is well suited to luxury, classic, high-value, non-running, or project vehicles. A 20-foot container is commonly used for one vehicle, while a 40-foot container may accommodate multiple units depending on their dimensions. Shared-container service may also be available on selected routes.

Ports and Delivery Planning in Cape Verde
Vehicle shipments may be routed through principal Cape Verdean ports such as Porto da Praia on Santiago or Porto Grande at Mindelo on São Vicente, depending on carrier schedules and the consignee’s final island. Inter-island movement, destination terminal handling, and local delivery should be planned with the receiving agent before shipment. We confirm the booked arrival port and available service details in writing.
Documents Commonly Required
- Clear original vehicle title or acceptable proof of ownership
- Commercial invoice or bill of sale
- Passport or government-issued identification for the consignee
- Vehicle VIN, year, make, model, and value
- U.S. export filing and carrier documentation
- Ocean bill of lading
- Any import authorization or tax documentation required in Cape Verde
Import duties, taxes, vehicle-age rules, inspections, and registration requirements are controlled by Cape Verdean authorities and can change. Customers should consult a licensed customs broker in Cape Verde before booking. All TransportDepot coordinates transportation and export processing but does not determine destination import eligibility or government charges.

What Determines the Shipping Cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle dimensions and condition, pickup location, U.S. departure port, RoRo or container method, carrier schedule, arrival port, terminal handling, and current fuel or security surcharges. Destination customs duty, taxes, storage, inspection, and local delivery are normally separate from the ocean freight quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does car shipping to Cape Verde take?
Transit time depends on the U.S. departure port, vessel schedule, transshipment, destination port, and customs clearance. We provide the current estimated sailing schedule when the booking is confirmed.
Can you collect a vehicle from Copart or IAAI?
Yes. We arrange pickup from Copart, IAAI, dealerships, residences, ports, and storage facilities throughout the United States.
Can I include personal belongings inside the car?
Personal items are restricted by many RoRo carriers and may also be regulated by customs. Do not load belongings unless the carrier and destination agent approve them in writing.
Can you ship a non-running vehicle?
Yes, subject to loading requirements. Container shipping is usually the most practical method for a non-running vehicle, and additional loading equipment may be required.
