Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lisbon to Cancun

Generally, shipping a car to Mexico costs between $1,200 and $1,700 on average. In addition to the shipping quote, you will probably need to pay import taxes and fees. Depending on factors such as the type of vehicle, distance, and shipping methods, the total shipping costs can sometimes reach up to $3,000.

The average price to ship a car from Lisbon to the United States ranges from $2195 to $3590, and the duties to import a car to the United States from Lisbon are 2.5% duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 for local charges in the US.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.
