Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Ho Chi Minh City to Tbilisi

Importing a Car from Vietnam to the USA starts at a cost of $3,250 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 30 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in Vietnam and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

Generally, driving is cheaper than shipping for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks and shipping can become a better value for long hauls when factoring in hidden costs like wear & tear, time, and your own travel expenses (lodging, food). For very long trips (1000+ miles) or unreliable cars, the added costs of driving (depreciation, maintenance, fatigue) might make shipping more economical overall, say Move.org and SoFi.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), which is ideal for operable cars, while shared container shipping offers a balance of cost and protection for higher-value vehicles, and platforms like uShip and Shiply use competitive bidding to find lower prices. Expect costs to vary widely based on destination, vehicle type, and current fuel prices, with RoRo often ranging from $900-$2500, but always compare quotes from specialized international shippers.
