Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Salvador to Madrid

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.

The amount to be paid at Customs is 10% of the Customs Duty on the market value of the vehicle, and in addition 21% VAT. The value of the vehicle is calculated with the tables of the BOE, where you can also obtain the market value (value at current date, not value of the new vehicle).

Shipping a car to El Salvador generally costs $1,000 to over $6,000, depending heavily on your starting point (US East Coast is pricier), method (RORO vs. Container), and vehicle size, with common ranges around $3,000-$4,000 for container shipping from some US ports, but be prepared for additional significant costs for customs duties (1-30% of value + 13% VAT) and local fees.
