Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangkok to San Juan

It typically costs $1,200 to $3,300 to ship a vehicle from the US to Puerto Rico. However, the cost is estimated. The price can very depending on multiple factors, including the total distance, size and type of vehicle being transported, type of transport and finally, the time of the year.

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).

First things first: both options are likely to be expensive. If you ship, not only will you have to pay the shipping fee, but you'll also pay an import tax that varies based on the value of your vehicle. There may be other hidden fees once you pick up your car in Puerto Rico, as well.
