Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Santo Domingo

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.

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.

In general, you can expect shipping a car to the Dominican Republic to take around three weeks. However, this time frame is an estimate. Actual delivery times will vary based on factors such as weather, high/low shipping season, customs, and more.
