Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Nashua, New Hampshire

Generally, driving is cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even more economical when you factor in all driving expenses like gas, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear. Driving costs are lower initially, but shipping saves you time, reduces fatigue, and preserves your car's resale value, making it a strong contender for long hauls.

Any foreign-made vehicle imported into the United States will be charged duty, whether it is new or used or if you are going to drive it for personal use or sell it. Duties will be charged at a rate of 2.5%.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, with open transport being cheaper ($0.33-$0.60/mile) and enclosed transport costing more (around $0.75-$1.00+/mile), with prices varying by season, demand, vehicle type, and transport availability. Expect lower per-mile rates for longer distances, but higher overall prices.
