Ship Car To Lagos

Car Shipping Lagos

Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, is a modern city. As the financial and commercial center of Nigeria, the condition of the roads here has improved through the years. While the country is still grappling with political and religious tensions, the demand for vehicle imports is increasing. One reason may be an overreliance on public transport, especially the waterways and the railways. This does not give people the moving and commuting flexibility they require. So here, owning a private vehicle no longer remains a luxury or status symbol; instead, having a car for commuting quickly is essential. Whether you have come to Nigeria on an extended visit or plan to be a permanent resident here, importing your own vehicle should become a priority.

Cost & Time Examples For Dispatching a Car to Lagos

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save on ground transport costs by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional ten days to process the documents.

*Prices are for one car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*The RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

What does importing Autos entail in Lagos?

Despite the bulk of documentation required during the import process, it is pretty straightforward and hassle-free overall. Your vehicle will enter the country at the port here. When you are involved in the services of an established international vehicle carrier company like our A1 Auto Transport Services, we will take care of all the finer points so that you do not need to worry about it. We know what is involved since we have experience successfully importing numerous vehicles to Nigeria. You can be sure that we will get the customs cleared in time for the delivery of the car to your doorstep.

The documents that you will need to provide include:

• Car title, insurance documents.
• Passport/ownership proof.
• Lading bill.
• There are no loans on the car.
• Emission checks, a certificate for roadworthiness.
• Chassis number, manufacturer, and model details.

However, your vehicle must be less than eight years old; otherwise, the Nigeria Customs Service laws prevent its import.

Transport and vehicle delivery

Once you have paid the customs duty at the US port and at Lagos, your vehicle might be tested for emissions here. For safe shipping, we offer two different methods for shipping your cars:

• Enclosed are 20- to 40-foot containers. Make your choice, and you can include various vehicle accessories and even household goods in the container for transit. This makes it a complete value-for-money proposition.
• Roll on/off method: Your car will be driven over ramps onto the ship and harnessed for safety. When it reaches its destination, it will be driven down, and after you clear the paperwork and pay the duties, it will be handed over to you.
