Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Kingston to New York, New York

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

If you need to ship your car to the other side of the country – train shipping will be more economical. If you need fast delivery right to your place – shipping by truck will be your best option.

Shipping a car from New York to Jamaica involves significant costs, typically ranging from $1,000 to $2,500+ for the actual ocean freight/container, plus substantial Jamaican duties (67-180% of CIF value) and taxes, requiring an import license, making the total cost often well over $3,000-$4,000, depending heavily on your vehicle's age, value, and engine size. Expect ocean freight in a shared container or Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) service, plus import fees and potential vehicle age restrictions (generally max 6 years for cars).
