Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Salvador to Panama City

Shipping your car into Panama is expensive. Actually shipping costs will be at least $2000. If you don't qualify for duty fee import, the fee assessed will be between 15% - 25% of the value of the car. In addition, everyone must pay a 7% goods and services fee.

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.

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.
