Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Manila to Los Angeles, California

Shipping a car from the USA to the Philippines generally costs $2,000 to $4,500+, depending heavily on the shipping method (Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) is cheaper but less secure; Container shipping is pricier but safer), car size, origin/destination ports, and additional fees like customs/taxes. Expect basic RoRo from major ports to start around $1,000-$2,500+, while container shipping can range from $2,800 upwards, with L.A. to Manila container shipments potentially starting around $3,850-$5,500 for full containers.

For the absolute cheapest shipping from the Philippines to the USA, PhilPost (Philippine Postal Corporation) is the winner, especially for small, light items, but comes with slow speeds and risks like loss/damage; for reliable, slightly faster economy, use freight forwarders (like Haulx or ParcelABC ) for bigger packages or use sea cargo (LBC Express for Balikbayan), while faster options like DHL/FedEx are pricier but offer better tracking.

Shipping a car to Los Angeles costs $700–$1,500, with open carrier rates averaging $0.65–$1.05 per mile. Delivery to Los Angeles typically takes 4–9 days, depending on origin, seasonality, and enclosed vs. open transport.
