Shipping Cost from Djibouti to Montevideo

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.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Uruguay typically costs $2,400–$4,900; 40-foot containers range from $3,800–$7,300 based on origin. Ocean freight to Montevideo averages 4–7 weeks; customs delays or rural delivery may extend final handoff by several days.

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.
