Wondering about the Ways to Ship Cars to Algeria?

Shipping One Car at a Time

When sending singular cars, like a Toyota Hilux to Algeria or a Suzuki Swift to Algiers port, RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping to Africa is usually the cheapest option. Your car is driven onto a special ship and then driven off when it reaches the Algerian port.

Groupage Shipping - Saving Money by Sharing Space

For dealers or people wanting to save money, group shipping (called “groupage”) is the way to go. This means several cars share container space, which cuts down the cost per car.

Fitting 6 Cars in One Container: Best Value for Money

The most cost-effective setup is putting 6 cars in one 40ft container:

Works best with smaller cars like the Suzuki Swift and Baleno.
Cars are carefully stacked using special lashing methods.
Saves about 30-40% compared to shipping cars individually.
Popular choice for car dealers shipping to Algiers and Oran ports.

Types of Container Options for Shipping to Algeria

20ft containers – Fits 1-2 cars, depending on their size
40ft containers – Good for 3-4 regular-sized cars

What Affects the Cost of Shipping Cars to Algeria

The price to ship cars to Algeria changes based on several things:

Car size and weight – Small cars like Swift cost less than big ones
Which Algerian port – Algiers port usually has the best rates
How you ship it – Group shipping makes each car cheaper
Time of year – Busy seasons (September-November) cost more
Paperwork – be ready with the right paperwork to avoid incurring charges.
