Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Montevideo to Colorado Springs, Colorado

Shipping a Car from the Dominican Republic to the USA starts at a cost of $1,850 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 20 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in the Dominican Republic and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

Driving is usually cheaper for short distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become more cost-effective when you factor in hidden driving costs like fuel, lodging, food, tolls, and vehicle wear-and-tear. While driving costs less upfront, the total expenses (gas, hotels, meals, wear/depreciation) for long trips often approach or exceed the price of professional auto transport, making shipping a potentially better value for saving time and avoiding hassle.

To estimate car shipping costs, multiply the total distance by the per-mile rate (which decreases with distance, e.g., $1.85/mile for <500 miles to $0.59/mile for 1500+ miles), then adjust for factors like vehicle size (larger/heavier costs more), transport type (open is cheaper than enclosed), seasonal demand (summer/snowbird season is pricier), and route popularity (major interstates are cheaper than remote areas).
