Vehicle Shipping Costs: New York to Ghana
Shipping a car from New York to Ghana is one of the largest logistics decisions diaspora families make. Guldstreet's base rate starts at $1,400 for a standard passenger car via Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) service to Tema Port, Accra.
What Affects the Final Price?
Vehicle Size and Type
- Standard sedan or hatchback: starting at $1,400
- SUV or minivan: add $150–$300
- Full-size pickup truck: add $300–$500
Shipping Method
- RoRo: Most affordable. Your vehicle is driven onto the vessel and secured. Best for operable vehicles.
- Container shipping: More expensive but better protection for high-value vehicles. Also allows personal effects alongside the vehicle in the container.
Ghana Customs Duty on Imported Vehicles
Budget an additional $500–$3,000+ in Ghana customs duties depending on vehicle type, age and value. We can help you estimate this before you buy.
The Auction Vehicle Opportunity
Many customers purchase used vehicles at US auto auctions (Copart, IAAI) and ship them to Ghana. A clean 2018–2020 Toyota Corolla might sell for $5,000–$8,000 at US auction and retail for $18,000–$25,000 in Ghana after duties. Guldstreet handles pickup from the auction yard, documentation and Ghana port delivery.
