Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Cancun to Libreville

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.

Importing a car from Mexico to the U.S. involves paperwork (HS-7, 3520-1), Customs clearance at a port of entry with your title, bill of sale, and bill of lading, paying duties (2.5% for cars), and ensuring DOT/EPA compliance ; it's complex and often costly, requiring a customs broker or ICI if the car isn't US-spec, with many suggesting it's easier to buy a U.S.-registered car instead due to high fees and regulations, notes from Progressive and Clearit USA.
