Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Sao Paulo to Santa Fe, New Mexico

Cost of Shipping a Car to Brazil The cost of shipping a car from the USA to Brazil depends on the departure port, vehicle type, and shipping method. RORO costs around $1,400 – $2,000, while container shipping ranges from $1,800 – $2,600. Import duties and taxes are significant.

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 gas, food, lodging, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle, making driving better for short trips and shipping often better for long, busy, or difficult trips. The decision balances cost, time, and convenience, as shipping saves you time and adds miles/wear, while driving costs less upfront but adds stress and expenses.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.
