Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Santo Domingo to Saint Petersburg

Dominican Republic to US Car Shipping Costs & Time Frame Using a baseline of a compact car being shipped the Port of Haina to the Port of Miami, our estimate for Car Shipping from Dominican Republic to USA starts at a cost of $1,850.00 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 20 days.

It's usually cheaper to drive your car than to ship it, especially for shorter distances, but the cost difference shrinks with longer trips, and shipping can be better if you factor in time, wear-and-tear, potential breakdowns, or if your vehicle is in poor condition. Driving covers your personal travel costs (gas, hotels, food) plus added vehicle wear, while shipping involves paying a company for transport, with open trailers being cheaper than enclosed ones for more valuable cars, and inoperable vehicles costing more to ship.

The average cost to transport a vehicle ranges from $400 to over $2,000, depending heavily on distance, with short trips costing $400-$800 and cross-country moves $1,100-$2,100+, typically using open carriers for less cost and enclosed carriers for more protection (adding 50% or more). Expect about $0.50 to $2.00 per mile, with shorter distances costing more per mile and larger vehicles increasing the price.
