Shipping an Electric Car from the USA
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to India from the USA?
In most cases, shipping a car to India from the USA costs between $1,600 and $4,000. However, several factors influence the final price, including vehicle size, shipping method (container or RoRo), pickup location, and the U.S. departure port. For example, luxury, high-value, or oversized vehicles often increase the total cost due to added handling and compliance requirements.
To ensure accuracy, confirm import eligibility and request a personalized quote before shipping.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Ship a Car to India?
In practice, container shipping offers the most practical and compliant option due to India’s strict import regulations. In most situations, RoRo shipping does not apply or does not meet Indian import requirements. As a result, importers rely on container shipping for security, documentation control, and regulatory approval.
How Long Does It Take to Ship a Car to India?
On average, car shipping from the USA to India takes between 5 and 7 weeks. However, customs inspections, homologation checks, and compliance approvals often extend delivery timelines. Therefore, early planning and documentation preparation remain essential.
What Are India’s Car Import Rules and Restrictions?
India enforces some of the world’s strictest vehicle import regulations. In summary, importers must meet the following requirements:
-
Authorities restrict used vehicle imports, allowing them primarily for returning residents or approved exemptions
-
Vehicles must meet Indian emission and safety standards, including homologation
-
Customs authorities assess import duties and taxes using CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight)
-
A licensed Indian customs broker completes the clearance process
Most importantly, importers must confirm eligibility before shipping to avoid rejection or costly delays.
Should I Choose RoRo or Container Shipping to India?
In nearly all cases, container shipping provides the only viable option for vehicles bound for India. It supports compliance, documentation control, and protection for high-value or non-running vehicles.
-
Container Shipping: Works best for compliance, high-value vehicles, and non-running units
-
RoRo Shipping: Rarely applies and typically fails to meet Indian import requirements
Ultimately, our team evaluates eligibility and vehicle details to recommend the safest option.
Can You Ship Non-Running or Damaged Vehicles to India?
Yes. We ship non-running or damaged vehicles using container shipping. When necessary, our team arranges special loading equipment to protect the vehicle during transit. Depending on condition, additional handling charges may apply.
Do You Offer Inland Pickup in the USA?
