Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Jacksonville, Florida to Barcelona

If you're importing a car into Spain for a temporary amount of time, it can be done without having to pay taxes and duties for a period no longer than 6 months. After those six months, you'll be required to either export the vehicle or pay the required taxes and duties if you plan to apply for permanent residency.

The cost of shipping a car from the USA to Europe starts at around $900 per car in a shared container (consolidated container) to roughly $2,900 inside an exclusive 20ft container or around $4,200 inside an individual 40ft container.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where your car is driven onto a specialized ship, costing less than containers but offering less protection; for more security with shared costs, consider a shared container (consolidation), while air freight is the most expensive but fastest, and platforms like uShip or Shiply help find competitive quotes from reliable carriers.
