Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from New York, New York to Quito

Though it depends on where you're shipping from in the U.S. and what type of vehicle it is, most costs to Ecuador range from $1,600 to $3,900. Import taxes are relatively high in Ecuador, so keep in mind that there are additional costs beyond the price of moving.

You will need to provide a passport, resident visa, proof of paid tariffs, title and registration, license, and other pertinent forms to Customs for approval. Ecuador doesn't prefer any vehicle be allowed into the country with an engine size larger than 3000 cc.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
