Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Hanoi to Santa Ana, California

Shipping a car to Vietnam costs $2,300 to $5,600 for most standard-sized cars, with higher costs for larger vehicles. The cheapest method of shipping a car to Vietnam is in an intermodal transport container aboard a ship.

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the US to Vietnam, especially for small items, USPS Priority Mail International or First Class International (if under 4 lbs) is usually best for small parcels (under 2lbs). For heavier or larger items, using a freight forwarder like MyUS or a comparison site like Easyship to find budget economy options with carriers like FedEx International Economy or DHL offers lower costs than standard express, though with longer transit times (weeks vs. days).

Shipping a car from California to Hawaii generally takes 2 to 4 weeks, but can range from a fast 7-day transit for port-to-port to over a month, depending on the carrier, specific ports (LA/Long Beach, Oakland), destination island (Honolulu vs. outer islands), seasonality, and potential delays. Expect shorter times for major routes like LA to Honolulu (around 1-2 weeks) and longer for less frequent routes or outer islands like Hilo/Kahului.
