Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Jakarta to San Jose

Shipping from Indonesia to the USA costs vary wildly, from around $18 for a small <4lb USPS package to potentially $6-$15+ per kg via air freight (depending on volume) or hundreds/thousands for full ocean containers, with factors like weight, speed (express vs. economy), volume, and chosen carrier (USPS, DHL, FedEx, freight forwarders) dictating the final price. Expect small parcels to be pricier per kg than bulk shipments, with air freight faster but sea freight much cheaper for large amounts.

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.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.
