Shipping Cost from Cartagena to Mumbai

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Yes, you can ship your car from the USA to India, but it's a complex, expensive process with strict rules, primarily requiring Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles, high duties (up to 125%+), and conditions like being an NRI with years abroad for permanent settlement, making it often impractical for left-hand drive (LHD) U.S. cars. Key hurdles include RHD compliance (U.S. cars are LHD), high import taxes, lengthy documentation, and restrictions on resale for years.
