Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Quito to Chennai

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, you can ship your car from the USA to India, but it's a complex, expensive process with strict rules, primarily requiring Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles, high duties (up to 125%+), and conditions like being an NRI with years abroad for permanent settlement, making it often impractical for left-hand drive (LHD) U.S. cars. Key hurdles include RHD compliance (U.S. cars are LHD), high import taxes, lengthy documentation, and restrictions on resale for years.

Transit time usually ranges 30–45 days. The process includes export clearance, ocean transport, and Indian customs clearance. Most customers use container shipping or RoRo depending on vehicle type and budget.
