Who knows how much it costs to air freight a car from America to Lagos? Via airlines or via couriers like DHL?

@german007
You are wrong. They are companies that air frieght cars into Nigeria but they can be very expensive. They can cost nothing lest than $15,000.

Cars can definitely be air freighted but the question is why? 

You can get car to Nigeria in about 4 weeks or less. I am not sure there is any pressing reason that will warrant you to wanna airfreight any car to Nigeria.

You also will need a cargo plane to do that which i am not sure there are direct flight to Nigeria.

Then there is the question of the cost. 

Driving a particular car in my opinion is not a life or death situation, so why the hurry?




Below are pics of cargo planes.

waleesa,
you don't want to do that! there is really no need to air freight a car from the usa. the key is proper planning and starting early enough. say you want a car by june 2010, you can start the ordering process now and you'll get it into the country on normal sea transport well ahead of time. that saves you the extra expense of paying more than the cost price of the car for transport.

Thanx guys. Was just curious to know the price.

fhemmmy,
that was a funny one but still you have a point there. if it's a life and death situation like kunle-a said above, i guess no amount of money is too much to spend.

Air Freight from the U.S to Nigeria with the any of the big four couriers {UPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS} is very expensive and should not be considered.
Independent Air Carriers are cheaper and understand the local terrain of West African countries better. for instance Fed Ex charges up to $17 per pound to ship packages from the U.S to Nigeria, this does not include local tariffs and custom fees.

Hitech Courier in New Jersey, Global Trade Solutions in Boston MA {Tel. 774-218-4256} charge as low as $3.80 per pound to ship by air to Lagos and Abuja with customs clearing and free warehousing included. Whenever you ship through an Independent Air Carrier or IAC's ensure to ask for their TSA approved number. IAC's can save Nigerian shippers alot of money on Air Freight.

Waleesa,
what kind of car are you shipping via air freight? let me know and i will give you price.

Yes we advertise as we are confident in the service we provide as a company and glad to share with fellow Africans.

If you are shipping such an expensive vehicle, we suggest you negotiate Air freight with your Benz Dealer directly. This will save you on logistics issues and limit damages and exposure of your vehicle. If your dealer cannot deliver to Nigeria then let us know where your Benz is located and expected lead time you need it in Nigeria. We deliver to Abuja and Lagos. Whatever you decide please insure cargo for full value. Lead time by sea containerized in 4 weeks. Lead time by Air is 1 week from receipt of cargo.
