Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Perth to Monterrey

Importing a car to the USA can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000 or more, depending on various factors like shipping distance, import taxes, customs duties, and any required modifications to meet US safety and emissions standards.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport, where your vehicle is exposed on a multi-car trailer, and by being flexible with dates, booking in advance (2+ weeks), and comparing multiple carrier quotes. For even more savings, consider terminal-to-terminal shipping, using a car shipping marketplace like uShip to get bids, or even hiring someone to drive it if feasible.
