Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Plano, Texas

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.

Shipping a car from Japan to the USA generally costs $1,000 to $3,000+ for ocean freight, depending on the method (RoRo cheaper, container safer) and port, but the total import cost can balloon to $4,000-$7,000+ with extra fees like customs, taxes (2.5% auto/trucks), insurance, and inland transport. Expect 4-6 weeks transit time, and remember compliance, EPA/DOT forms, and local registration add significant costs.

Car shipping costs or auto transport quotes are calculated based on several factors: distance, vehicle type and size, transport type, pick-up and delivery locations, time of year, current fuel prices, and speed of delivery.
