Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Santiago to Amman

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 cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

You can generally send a car to the Dominican Republic if it's no more than 5 years old from its manufacturing date, with specific deadlines around June 30th each year, while commercial trucks have a 15-year limit. Cars older than this are prohibited, and you'll need an import permit, pay duties (20-40% VAT), and meet emissions standards.
