Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Montevideo to Lyon

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Shipping a car from the USA to Europe generally costs $1,000 to $4,000+, varying by method (RORO vs. container), distance (East vs. West Coast US), vehicle size, and destination port, with RORO being cheaper but open, and containers offering protection but costing more, plus potential destination duties/taxes ($500-$800+) adding significantly to the total.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Uruguay typically costs $2,400–$4,900; 40-foot containers range from $3,800–$7,300 based on origin. Ocean freight to Montevideo averages 4–7 weeks; customs delays or rural delivery may extend final handoff by several days.
