The challenge is knowing how many cars fit in each type of container. The answer changes with <a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/shipping-methods-types-and-containers-explained\/\">container size<\/a>, the type and number of vehicle, and the way the cars are loaded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>45-foot high cube<\/strong> \u2192 up to <strong>5 or 6 small cars<\/strong> with racks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>20-foot container<\/strong> \u2192 usually <strong>1 car<\/strong> or <strong>2 small cars<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>40-foot container<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>3 to 4 cars<\/strong>, racks make 4 compact cars possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>40-foot high cube<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>4 compact cars<\/strong>, extra height helps with larger vehicles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Container Sizes Used for Car Shipping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cars are shipped in standard multimodal containers. The most common sizes are the 20-foot and 40-foot units. High cube and 45-foot containers provide extra space for taller or longer vehicles. These dimensions and weight limits are set under <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISO_668\">ISO 668 container standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>20-foot<\/th><th>40-foot<\/th><th>40-foot HC<\/th><th>45-foot HC<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Internal length<\/td><td>~5.9 m \/ 19.3 ft<\/td><td>~12.03 m \/ 39.5 ft<\/td><td>~12.03 m \/ 39.5 ft<\/td><td>~13.55 m \/ 44.5 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internal width<\/td><td>~2.35 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.35 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.35 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.35 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internal height<\/td><td>~2.39 m \/ 7.8 ft<\/td><td>~2.39 m \/ 7.8 ft<\/td><td>~2.69 m \/ 8.8 ft<\/td><td>~2.69 m \/ 8.8 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Door height<\/td><td>~2.28 m \/ 7.5 ft<\/td><td>~2.28 m \/ 7.5 ft<\/td><td>~2.58 m \/ 8.5 ft<\/td><td>~2.58 m \/ 8.5 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Door width<\/td><td>~2.34 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.34 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.34 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><td>~2.34 m \/ 7.7 ft<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Max gross weight<\/td><td>30,480 kg \/ 67,200 lb<\/td><td>30,480\u201332,500 kg \/ 67,200\u201371,650 lb<\/td><td>~30,480 kg \/ 67,200 lb<\/td><td>~32,500 kg \/ 71,650 lb<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Typical use<\/td><td>One car or small cargo<\/td><td>Cars or larger shipments<\/td><td>Taller vehicles<\/td><td>Extra space for multiple cars<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read our guide on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/net-weight-vs-gross-weight-vs-tare-weight\/\" class=\"\">the difference between gross, net, and tare weight<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Cars by Vehicle Size?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of vehicle makes a big difference. Cars can be loaded in greater numbers when they are smaller, while SUVs and pickups reduce the count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compact Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A 40-foot container can hold up to <strong>four cars<\/strong> when they are compact models. Their smaller size makes it easier to secure them properly and still leave working space inside the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard Sedans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A 40-foot container usually carries three to four sedans. The exact number depends on how the cars can be loaded based on length and width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SUVs and Pickups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Larger vehicles such as SUVs and pickups often reduce the count to two or three in a 40-foot container. Their extra height and width limit how many cars can be loaded compared with smaller vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/stacking-containers-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"containers stacked for shipping\" class=\"wp-image-6747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/stacking-containers-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/stacking-containers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/stacking-containers-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/stacking-containers.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fit Guide for Popular Car Models<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of cars a container can carry depends on vehicle length, width, and height.

This is called horizontal loading. Each car is driven inside and parked bumper to bumper. The wheels are secured with straps so the car does not move in transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angled Loading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cars are loaded at an angle to make better use of container space. Angled loading allows slightly more room but requires careful placement. Cars must be strapped securely so they stay fixed inside the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Racking Systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reinforced steel frames, also called racking systems, make it possible to carry more cars in one container. The racks hold cars above the floor, so another row can be placed underneath. A 40-foot container with racks can fit four compact cars securely, and a 45-foot high cube can take up to six small cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skate and Track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A skate and track system lets cars roll into position inside containers without starting the engine. This is often used in multimodal shipments where many vehicles are loaded together. Once placed, the cars are strapped tightly to prevent movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car Shipping Containers vs RoRo Transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/container-ship-hyundai-drive-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"containers on Hyundai drive shipping\" class=\"wp-image-6748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/container-ship-hyundai-drive-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/container-ship-hyundai-drive-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/container-ship-hyundai-drive-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/container-ship-hyundai-drive.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is RoRo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/roro-vs-container-shipping-car\/\">RoRo stands for roll-on, roll-off<\/a>. Vehicles are driven onto the ship at the port and parked on board. At the destination they are rolled off again. No container is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Use Containers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A shipping container is best when you want extra protection. Cars are loaded inside, secured with straps, and kept separate from other cargo. This method is used for high-value cars, classic vehicles, or when you are shipping other items along with the car. Containers offer the safest way to ship your car across the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Use RoRo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RoRo works well for standard cars, SUVs, and pickups when cost is the main factor. It is often cheaper than container shipping. RoRo is also faster to load and unload, which can reduce transit times. The drawback is less protection, as the car is exposed to weather and handled more often in port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transit, Cost, and Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transit times<\/strong> \u2192 RoRo is usually quicker because no container loading is needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost<\/strong> \u2192 RoRo is often cheaper per vehicle, but a shared container can also be cost-effective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety<\/strong> \u2192 Containers keep cars secure inside steel walls, while RoRo leaves vehicles more exposed during shipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwdu7KxA3Ow?si=IgFZ_3Pgyj8vD6zp&amp;start=20\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does It Cost to Ship Cars by Container or RoRo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of shipping cars depends on freight rates, container hire, racks, port handling, and the size of the vehicle. RoRo is usually priced per car, while containers are priced per container. This makes RoRo cheaper for single cars, but containers more cost-effective when shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Shipping Method<\/th><th>Typical Cost (USD)<\/th><th>How It\u2019s Charged<\/th><th>Example Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>RoRo (standard car)<\/strong><\/td><td>1,000\u20131,500 per car<\/td><td>Per vehicle<\/td><td>Sedans on major trade routes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>RoRo (SUV or pickup)<\/strong><\/td><td>1,300\u20132,000 per car<\/td><td>Per vehicle<\/td><td>Larger vehicles take more deck space<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Container (20ft)<\/strong><\/td><td>3,000\u20134,000 per container<\/td><td>Per container<\/td><td>Usually one car inside<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Container (40ft, 3 cars)<\/strong><\/td><td>4,000 total \u2248 1,333 per car<\/td><td>Per container<\/td><td>Without racks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Container (40ft, 4 cars)<\/strong><\/td><td>4,000 total \u2248 1,000 per car<\/td><td>Per container<\/td><td>With racks (USD 500\u2013900 extra)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Container (45ft HC, 5\u20136 cars)<\/strong><\/td><td>5,000\u20136,000 total \u2248 1,000 per car<\/td><td>Per container<\/td><td>Only for small cars with racks<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra charges<\/strong> \u2192 port handling (USD 200\u2013500 per car) and insurance (1\u20132% of vehicle value).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RoRo<\/strong> \u2192 best for single cars or faster transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Containers<\/strong> \u2192 best when shared, especially with racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUVs and pickups<\/strong> \u2192 reduce efficiency and raise costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-special-cases-and-limitations\">Special Cases and Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/receiving-car-shipment-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"receiving shipped car\" class=\"wp-image-6751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/receiving-car-shipment-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/receiving-car-shipment-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/receiving-car-shipment-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/receiving-car-shipment.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oversized SUVs and Pickups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Full-size vehicles like the <strong>Ford F-150 (5.3\u20135.9 m \/ 17.4\u201319.3 ft long, 2.03 m \/ 6.6 ft wide)<\/strong> or the <strong>Toyota Land Cruiser (4.95 m \/ 16.2 ft long, 1.98 m \/ 6.5 ft wide)<\/strong> take up nearly the full space of a 20-foot container. In a 40-foot container this often reduces capacity to two vehicles. Height is also an issue. Standard container doors are only 2.28 m (7.5 ft) high, which makes loading difficult for lifted pickups or vehicles with roof racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Luxury Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports cars and high-end sedans often need more clearance. A <strong>Jaguar XJ (5.1 m \/ 16.7 ft long)<\/strong> or <strong>Porsche 911 (4.5 m \/ 14.7 ft long)<\/strong> can scrape at the ramp due to low ground clearance. Side mirrors and wide-opening doors also cause clearance problems at the container frame. Many shippers use a 40-foot high cube to gain extra headroom. Protective wraps and wheel covers are often added to keep the car secure inside the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electric and Hybrid Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EVs and hybrids face strict loading rules. Most carriers require the battery to be shipped at about <strong>30% state of charge<\/strong>. Some also require the battery to be disconnected before transit. This can limit how many EVs fit inside one container. For example, four compact sedans may fit in a 40-foot container, but a carrier might only allow two or three EVs for fire safety. Always confirm the requirements with the shipping line before booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Owner Containers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing one container can lower the cost per car, but it carries risk. Each car must have its own set of export and import documents. If one owner\u2019s paperwork is wrong, the entire container can be delayed at customs. There is also shared liability. If one vehicle is damaged, disputes can involve all owners. Shippers usually advise using a <a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/guide-choosing-the-right-freight-forwarder\/\">freight forwarder<\/a> who manages documentation for everyone when choosing this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions About Car Container Shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/containers-port-shipyard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"container port shipyard \" class=\"wp-image-6749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/containers-port-shipyard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/containers-port-shipyard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/containers-port-shipyard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/containers-port-shipyard.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should I prepare my car before it is loaded?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should remove all personal items, clean the car, and make sure the fuel tank is less than a quarter full. Some carriers also ask you to disconnect the battery. This reduces fire risk and stops items from shifting inside the car during transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need insurance when shipping my car?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Ocean carriers limit their liability, so insurance is strongly recommended. Policies are priced based on the vehicle\u2019s value, usually around 1\u20132% of that amount. This protects you against damage during loading, transit, or unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who handles customs clearance and documents?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A freight forwarder usually manages the paperwork, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/blog\/bill-of-lading-in-international-trade-shipments\/\">bill of lading<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/incodocs.com\/template-gallery\">export documents<\/a>, and import clearance at destination. Using an experienced forwarder helps avoid mistakes that can delay your shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are import duties and taxes included in the shipping price?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Import duties and taxes are separate and vary by country, vehicle type, and trade agreements.
