Shipping Cost from Hagerstown, Maryland to Cairo

The cheapest international car shipping method is Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where you drive your car onto a specialized ship, offering significant savings over container shipping for standard vehicles, though it leaves the car exposed; for better protection on high-value cars, shared containers are cheaper than dedicated ones, while air freight is the most expensive but fastest option. To find the best deal, compare quotes from several international shippers like those found on uShip or Shiply or Shiply, and factor in potential customs duties.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.
