Car Shipping to Maldives from Dubai
Car shipping to the Maldives from Dubai comes with special challenges. The Maldives is made up of many islands, which makes final delivery tricky. You’ll pay import taxes between 100% and 150% of what your car is worth.

Methods of Car Shipping to the Maldives
We offer three good ways to ship your car with our car shipping to Maldives service:
BY SHIP (DRIVE ON/DRIVE OFF)
This is our cheapest option. We will drive your car onto a ship in Dubai and off at Male Port. This simple method works well for most normal cars and takes about 12-18 days from port to port. Many of our clients pick this option for its good mix of price and service.
BY SHIP (IN A CONTAINER)
This gives better protection. Your car travels in its own sealed box that keeps it safe from salt air, sun, and bad weather. You can also pack some personal items in the container with your car (if the Maldives customs allow). This method takes about 15-22 days door to door and gives your car the best protection.
BY AIR
When you need your car fast, our Air option gets it there quickly. Your car flies straight to Male Airport, making this perfect for urgent moves or very valuable cars. This top service takes just 1-2 days for the flight, plus a few more days for customs. Though it costs more, nothing beats air freight when time matters most.
