Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Douala to Medellin

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.

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle).

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.
