Shipping Cost from Busan to Chengdu

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

The most reliable car shipping companies often cited for strong customer service, communication, and timely delivery include Montway Auto Transport, AmeriFreight, and uShip, with Direct Connect Auto Transport also noted for reliability in some lists, while companies like Sherpa Auto Transport and Mercury Auto Transport also receive high praise, emphasizing insurance and driver updates. Reliability depends on individual needs, so it's best to compare ratings and reviews from multiple sources like Forbes and Cars.com before choosing.
