Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bratislava to Alexandria

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

Shipping a car from the USA to the Middle East typically costs around $2,100 as of April 2025. This estimate includes freight charges, inland transport, insurance, and destination fees.

The cheapest way to ship a car cross-country is generally open auto transport, where your car is on a multi-car carrier exposed to the elements, significantly reducing cost compared to enclosed transport. To get the best price, book in advance (around 2 weeks), be flexible with pickup/delivery dates (aim for weekdays), choose a major city pickup, and compare quotes from various brokers using instant online tools.
