Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Cartagena to San Jose, California

The cost to ship a car from the USA to Colombia starts around $2,000–$3,000 per vehicle in a shared container to the Port of Cartagena. Additional considerations: Our container consolidation service to Cartagena can save importers up to 50% on overall shipping costs.

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.

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.
