Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hamburg to San Juan

Shipping a car from Germany to the USA generally costs between $1,200 and $3,500+ for basic ocean freight, depending on the port and service (RoRo vs. Container), with total landed costs rising significantly to include customs, duties (around 2.5% of car value), taxes, and potential modifications (up to $5,000+), making the final price highly variable. Expect around $2,190-$3,150 for port-to-port from major German ports to various US ports.

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 to Puerto Rico is usually USPS, especially for smaller items (First-Class, Priority Mail), as it's treated as domestic shipping, but for heavier or larger packages (over 2-3 lbs), FedEx Ground or UPS Ground might be cheaper, or a USPS Flat Rate Box if the item fits perfectly and is heavy enough. For speed, carriers like DHL/FedEx offer faster (but pricier) options, but for budget, focus on USPS Ground Advantage for slow, cheap, or Flat Rate boxes for heavier items.
