Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Tokyo to Medellin

The cost to ship a car from the USA to Colombia starts around $2,000–$3,000 per vehicle in a shared container to the Port of Cartagena. Additional considerations: Our container consolidation service to Cartagena can save importers up to 50% on overall shipping costs.

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle). Most shipments to the area come from a shipping container, so larger vehicles that cannot fit into a container are assessed an additional cost.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.
