Investigating the most popular routes for transporting cars from Iran to abroad

International car transport from Iran requires detailed knowledge of high-demand export routes and efficient transit corridors. Certain routes are favored due to geographic proximity, trade agreements, and infrastructure, making them more efficient and secure for moving vehicles abroad.

Here are some of the most frequently used and in-demand car transport routes from Iran:

1. Iran – Turkey – Europe: This is one of the key routes for exporting Iranian vehicles or transit shipments to European markets. The Bazargan border crossing is the main gateway into Turkey. From there, vehicles are transported by road or rail into Europe. The advantages include strong infrastructure and faster transit times.
2. Iran – Azerbaijan – Russia: The northern route through Astara into Azerbaijan and then to Russia is increasingly popular for delivering imported or transit vehicles. Growing economic ties and reduced tariffs between Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) have enhanced this route’s attractiveness.
3. Iran – Turkmenistan – Central Asia: Vehicles headed to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan often transit via eastern Iran through Sarakhs or Lotfabad. The demand for car imports in these countries makes this route busy, though customs and border delays can pose challenges.
4. Iran – Iraq: One of the most heavily trafficked routes, especially for exporting Iranian or imported vehicles into southern Iraq. Border crossings like Mehran and Shalamcheh see high volumes. Bilateral cooperation in customs and tariffs has further supported this corridor.
5. Iran – Afghanistan: The eastern route through Dogharoun and Milak serves vehicle shipments into Afghanistan. Despite some security concerns, there is consistent demand for used or surplus cars.

Selecting the right route depends on vehicle type, destination country, customs fees, political and security conditions, and transit times. Companies like Jahangir Tarabar Kian, with their comprehensive expertise in international road, rail, and sea logistics, offer tailored solutions for each shipment.
