Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangalore to Seattle, Washington

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.

The cost to ship a car from the USA to India typically falls between $2,500–$6,000. Pricing depends on vehicle size, shipping method, U.S. departure port, and fuel surcharges. Container shipping costs more but offers added protection, while RoRo is usually cheaper.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.
