Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangkok to Corpus Christi, Texas

Shipping from Thailand to the USA varies widely by speed and weight, with air freight starting around $10-$15/kg for heavier shipments (100kg+) but much higher for small parcels (e.g., $100+/kg for 1-10kg), using private couriers like DHL (now crucial due to Thailand Post limitations) or postal services like USPS (for lighter items), with costs depending on weight/volume, service level (express vs. economy), and potential tariffs/duties. Expect faster (2-5 days) express services to cost more per kg than slower options (1-2+ weeks).

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.
