Shipping Cost from Bali to Djibouti

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

Shipping from Indonesia to the USA costs vary wildly, from around $18 for a small <4lb USPS package to potentially $6-$15+ per kg via air freight (depending on volume) or hundreds/thousands for full ocean containers, with factors like weight, speed (express vs. economy), volume, and chosen carrier (USPS, DHL, FedEx, freight forwarders) dictating the final price. Expect small parcels to be pricier per kg than bulk shipments, with air freight faster but sea freight much cheaper for large amounts.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.
