Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Buenos Aires to Mexico City

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 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.

Import the vehicle using a Customs Broker : There is a process to legally import a car by paying the relevant duties and import taxes and getting Mexican plates for the vehicle. You might need to export the vehicle and re-import it. You'll need a Customs Broker to guide and assist you with this process.
