Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Lyon to Washington, District of Columbia

Here's a concise overview: Shipping Costs: Expect to spend between $1,875 and $3,590 for shipping, with variations depending on the car's size, shipping method (container or Roll-On Roll-Off [Ro-Ro]), and specific service option.

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.

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle). Most shipments to the area come from a shipping container, so larger vehicles that cannot fit into a container are assessed an additional cost.
