Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Jakarta to Chicago, Illinois

Shipping from Indonesia to the USA varies wildly, from around $18 for a small, light package (USPS First-Class) to potentially $15-$20+ per kilogram for air freight, with larger sea freight costing less per volume but taking much longer; expect $30+ for typical small parcel delivery via premium couriers like DHL/FedEx/UPS for speed, while slower postal services offer budget options.

Shipping a car to Chicago costs $650–$1,300, with open carrier rates averaging $0.60–$1.00 per mile. Average transit time to Chicago ranges from 3–8 days, depending on origin city, route congestion, and transport type.

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.
