Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Richmond, Virginia to Mumbai

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.

How long does it take to ship a car from the USA to India? Total shipping time usually ranges from 30 to 45 days, depending on the U.S. port, vessel schedule, and customs processing. West Coast departures may take slightly longer than East Coast routes.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.
