Shipping Cost from Chengdu to La Paz

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 from China varies wildly, from cheap small parcels via postal service to expensive air freight or container shipping, with costs depending heavily on weight, size, speed (air is faster/pricier, sea is slower/cheaper), and current market rates, but expect to pay roughly $5-$12/kg for small air shipments (DHL, UPS) and $50-$80/CBM for LCL sea freight, while full containers (FCL) range in thousands of dollars.

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.
