Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Kuwait City to Mumbai

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.

On average, it costs between $500 and $1,700 to transport a car in the United States. The total depends mostly on the distance. Short trips under 500 miles usually fall in the $400–$800 range, while cross-country moves can reach $1,100 or more.

For short distances (under 300 miles), driving yourself is usually cheaper since you avoid booking a carrier. For medium to long distances (over 500–1,000 miles), shipping often becomes the more economical option once you factor in gas, lodging, food, maintenance, and time off work.
