Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to La Paz

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.

Shipping a car to Mexico generally costs $800 to $3,000+, depending heavily on distance, vehicle size, and shipping method ( Roll-on/Roll-off is cheaper than container ), with extra fees for import duties (VAT, taxes) and a refundable deposit for temporary permits (TIPs). For permanent importation, expect significant additional costs like 16% VAT and import duties, often requiring a customs broker, while temporary visits need a TIP with a $200-$400 deposit and permit fee.
