Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Singapore to San Jose, California

Shipping from Singapore to the USA costs vary widely, from around $25-$75 for small/light items via budget couriers (like Qxpress, Aramex) to $150-$300+ for faster/heavier parcels with major carriers like FedEx or DHL, depending on speed, weight, dimensions, and if you use a broker like JustShip or Easyship for discounts. Expect slower, cheaper rates (days/weeks) for basic post or budget services, while express (1-3 days) costs significantly more.

Singapore's car law centers on the 10-year Certificate of Entitlement (COE), a quota license allowing vehicle ownership, which expires after a decade, requiring owners to either renew it (for 5 or 10 years), sell the car, or deregister it, with renewals costing the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) and older cars facing road tax surcharges and eventually no more renewal options after a certain age.

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.
