Transporting a Car from Moscow to Crimea

Driving the distance yourself

A road journey requires time behind the wheel, an overnight stop and allowance for access checks and queues on the chosen itinerary.

The car gains approximately 1,700 km, with tyre, brake and other wear, exposure to road debris and winter road salt. A sports car on summer tyres also needs a suitable winter transport plan.

If you are delivering the car for someone else, include your return trip alongside fuel and accommodation when comparing costs.

Using a delivery driver

A delivery driver saves you the drive but still adds mileage and road exposure. Check who is responsible for damage and whether the relevant responsibility is insured before booking.

Elite Car Delivery transports vehicles by carrier rather than offering a driveaway service. The car travels without completing the road journey under its own power.

More about the service: Enclosed car transport.

Open or enclosed transport

An open shared carrier can offer an economical space, with exposure to weather, dust and road spray. Departure and arrival may include shared-load waiting and other collections.

An enclosed carrier has a roof and walls. Choose a shared space for two–three or six–eight cars where suitable, or a dedicated single-car van with a direct agreed journey and checked address access.

For a new car, sports car, convertible or recently painted vehicle, compare the enclosed option with the potential cost of cleaning and repairing exposed surfaces.

Route and planning time

Freight access and the available itinerary must be checked for the dates. The service describes land routing via Rostov and Melitopol or the Kerch ferry as alternatives, with selection subject to current access and weather.

A dedicated carrier's planning estimate is 3–5 days for the approximately 1,700 km direction. A shared journey can take longer because of load waiting and additional stops. Give the precise destination in Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta or another town.
