Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Baltimore, Maryland to San Juan

The cheapest way to ship a car to Puerto Rico is using Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) service, where you drive it onto the ship at a US port (like Jacksonville or Miami) and off in Puerto Rico, avoiding container/lift costs. To save more, book during off-peak seasons, use a port-to-port service for convenience (driving it yourself), ship a running car, and compare quotes from multiple brokers like Montway or uShip to find the best price for your dates.

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.

Importing a car to Puerto Rico costs roughly $3,000 to $10,000+, a mix of shipping fees ($1,200-$3,300+), a significant excise tax (6.6%-13.5% of value), plus registration/inspection fees, varying by vehicle size, age, and origin, with the tax calculated on your car's total value (purchase, freight, insurance).
