Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Panama City to Santo Domingo

Shipping a car to the Dominican Republic from the USA generally costs $1,400 to $4,600+ for ocean freight, depending on your departure city and method (RORO cheaper, container safer/pricier), with additional significant costs for Dominican customs duties (20-40%) and taxes, plus potential ground transport within the US. Expect ~$1,400-$1,800 from Miami via RORO, while larger containers or cross-country routes add to the price, with total costs often reaching $4,000-$5,000+ including duties, plus strict age limits (under 5 years old for used cars).

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Yes, vehicles must meet the Dominican Republic's customs requirements. Cars older than five years are often subject to additional fees. Ship Overseas will help you navigate all regulations to ensure compliance.
