Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Diego, California to Kampala

Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost? Car shipping costs to Uganda from the United States generally fall between $3,800 and $7,100 for more vehicles. The cheapest rates are for normal-sized cars that fit into a shipping container, whereas those that do not fit will cost more.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.
