Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Scottsdale, Arizona to Mexico City

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 international car shipping method is Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where you drive your car onto a specialized ship, as it's significantly cheaper than container shipping but offers less protection, while shared container shipping provides a balance of cost and security, and booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, and using comparison sites like uShip and Shiply helps lower costs further.

If you are visiting Mexico on a tourist/visitor permit, you can import your foreign-plated vehicle to Mexico using a Temporary Import Permit (TIP). Your vehicle permit when you enter as a visitor will last for a maximum of 180 days and cannot be renewed or extended beyond this time period.
