Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Luanda

How much does it cost to ship a car to Ecuador? Most shipments fall between $1,200–$3,000 for ocean transport, depending on vehicle size, shipping method, and U.S. departure port. Container shipping costs more than Roll on Roll off but offers added protection.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.

You will need to provide a passport, resident visa, proof of paid tariffs, title and registration, license, and other pertinent forms to Customs for approval. Ecuador doesn't prefer any vehicle be allowed into the country with an engine size larger than 3000 cc.
