Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chicago, Illinois to Sydney

The average price to ship a car from USA to Australia ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Australia from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Australia.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.
