Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Monterrey to Taipei

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

Age Restrictions: Taiwan does not permit the import of cars over 10 years old. However, it's possible to import newer or used vehicles with a special license obtained within Taiwan. Shipping Methods: Options include container shipping and Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO-RO) service, each with different cost implications.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking during off-peak seasons, being flexible with dates, and getting multiple quotes from reputable brokers, as this method uses multi-car trailers with no weather protection but significantly lowers costs compared to enclosed shipping. For even shorter distances, having someone drive it or finding a driver moving in the same direction can be the absolute cheapest, but open transport is best for standard auto shipping needs.
