Methods of Moving a Vehicle

Few vehicle moving methods are available, but two are sure to do the trick and are less costly than other methods. Container and RO/RO shipping are the most popular choices.

RO/RO shipping is the cheapest method requiring the vehicle to roll on and off the ship. The car must be empty, with a few exceptions.
When it comes to shipping containers, customers have a few options. The vehicle will be enclosed in the container,r and any personal effects allowed by Guyana Customs may be placed within. Cargo can be stored in the unused portion of the container. Its costs can be cut in half if two persons share a container.

Air shipment is another method of vehicle shipment. However, its high price is almost impossible for most to pay.

The Lift On/Lift Off or LoLo service is a reasonably priced shipping service that requires the help of a crane. A crane lifts your large, inoperable vehicle or packed heavy equipment to go on top of the boat.
The roll-on/roll-off or RoRo method is the least expensive of all the overseas services we offer. This service requires your vehicle to be operable. The large equipment or vehicle must drive onto and off the boat using a ramp.
The Flat Rack method is an open-air service that secures your cargo to a metal frame before it boards the boat.
The container is slightly costlier yet isn’t available to all those needing shipping services. If your cargo can fit inside of a 40ft shipping container despite its heavy weight, than you may be able to use this method of transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship your car to Guyana from the USA?

As of October 5, 2026, current market evidence places port-to-port ocean shipping for a standard car from the United States to Guyana at about $1,300-$3,800. RoRo usually falls toward the lower end, while container service generally costs more and dedicated containers can exceed the typical range. U.S. inland pickup, storage, Guyana customs taxes, wharf charges, and local delivery are separate when they are not included in the quote. A1's international car shipping rates calculator can help estimate the transport portion.

How long does it take to ship a car to Guyana from the United States?

Shipping a car from the United States to Guyana typically takes about 2 to 5 weeks from export handoff through arrival around Georgetown, before final customs release. Current carrier data puts some East Coast ocean legs at roughly 8 to 18 days, including a 10-day Port Everglades-to-Georgetown service. Pickup scheduling, export processing, sailing frequency, and transshipment can add time before or after the ocean leg. A1's international car shipping guide explains how the overseas stages fit together.

What shipping methods are used to transport cars to Guyana?

RoRo and container shipping are the two main ocean methods for moving cars from the United States to Guyana. RoRo normally costs less and works best when the vehicle can drive, steer, and brake under its own power. A container encloses the vehicle and is often chosen for non-running, classic, luxury, or higher-value cars. Guyana-bound vehicle services commonly discharge in the Georgetown area, although the exact wharf or terminal depends on the carrier. A1's RoRo shipping cost guide explains the method in more detail.

What documents are required to import a car into Guyana from the USA?

For a U.S.-titled used vehicle, CBP requires the original title or a certified copy plus two complete copies, and Electronic Export Information must be filed through AES at least 72 hours before export. Guyana's import process commonly requires the bill of lading, invoice, Taxpayer Identification Number, and electronic customs declaration through ASYCUDA. If GRA has no Tariff Specification Code for the vehicle, it asks for the bill of lading, invoice, title or registration, and export certificate at least one week before vessel arrival. A1's international car shipping documents guide covers the U.S. export paperwork.

Can I import a car more than 8 years old into Guyana?

Yes. Guyana no longer prohibits a car solely because it is eight years old or older; GRA says that restriction was removed effective October 1, 2020. Vehicle age still affects taxation because GRA applies different tax treatment to vehicles under four years old and those four years or older. Carrier waybills must also identify details such as the VIN or chassis number, engine number and capacity, odometer reading, year, color, and whether the vehicle is new or used.

How much is the duty to import a car to Guyana?

For many passenger vehicles under four years old, Guyana's current tax tables apply 35% or 45% customs duty, while excise tax can range from 0% to 140% and VAT can be 0% or 14%, depending on engine size, fuel type, and vehicle class. Vehicles four years old or older use a different system, with GRA tables showing 0% customs duty and 0% VAT for listed categories but separate flat-rate or formula-based excise taxes. The final assessment uses the vehicle's age, engine capacity, fuel type, and CIF value.
