Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Medellin to Madrid

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but shipping can become comparable or even better for very long trips, especially when factoring in the hidden costs of driving like time off work, wear and tear, potential breakdowns, lodging, food, and tolls. Driving saves on direct shipping fees but adds indirect costs, while shipping costs more upfront but preserves your time and vehicle's condition, making the "cheaper" option depend heavily on your personal financial situation and priorities.

The amount to be paid at Customs is 10% of the Customs Duty on the market value of the vehicle, and in addition 21% VAT. The value of the vehicle is calculated with the tables of the BOE, where you can also obtain the market value (value at current date, not value of the new vehicle).

The cost to ship a car from the USA to Colombia starts around $2,000–$3,000 per vehicle in a shared container to the Port of Cartagena. Additional considerations: Our container consolidation service to Cartagena can save importers up to 50% on overall shipping costs.
