Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo

Because we have very high import tariffs. It's very expensive to import things. And this makes products manufactured in the country very expensive as well, because the competition is pricer (with tariffs).

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), which is ideal for operable cars, while shared container shipping offers a balance of cost and protection for higher-value vehicles, and platforms like uShip and Shiply use competitive bidding to find lower prices. Expect costs to vary widely based on destination, vehicle type, and current fuel prices, with RoRo often ranging from $900-$2500, but always compare quotes from specialized international shippers.

Driving is almost always cheaper for short distances, but for long cross-country moves, the costs get closer, and shipping can become more appealing to save time, avoid wear-and-tear, and prevent breakdowns, especially considering hidden driving costs like lodging, food, tolls, and depreciation. Driving saves money on the car itself, but shipping saves your time, your car's miles, and your sanity on the road, making the "cheaper" choice dependent on your total budget, time, and the car's condition.
