Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Montevideo to Djibouti

It's usually cheaper to drive your car than to ship it, especially for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks with longer trips, and shipping can be better if you factor in time, wear-and-tear, potential breakdowns, or if your vehicle is in poor condition. Driving covers your personal travel costs (gas, hotels, food) plus added vehicle wear, while shipping involves paying a company for transport, with open trailers being cheaper than enclosed ones for more valuable cars, and inoperable vehicles costing more to ship.

There's no single "most" reliable company, but Montway Auto Transport, Sherpa Auto Transport, and AmeriFreight consistently rank high for reliability across multiple sources, praised for communication, price transparency (Sherpa), and strong customer reviews (AmeriFreight), while Reliable Carriers excels for enclosed, high-value transport. Key factors for reliability include insurance, transparent pricing, positive reviews, and specialized services (like enclosed transport).

Shipping a car from the USA to Ethiopia typically ranges between $1,800 and $3,500, depending on the shipping method (RoRo or container), vehicle size, and your U.S. pickup location.
