Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Jose to Hanoi

The average price to ship a car from USA to Vietnam ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Vietnam from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Vietnam.

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.

The vehicle wishing to be imported into Vietnam must not exceed five years old; in turn, the automobile must have been registered in the owner's home country for at least six months and have a minimum mileage of 10,000 km. It is also important to note that cars should be disassembled when transported into Vietnam.
