Shipping Cost from Hanoi to Denver, Colorado

The average price to ship a car from USA to Vietnam ranges from $2100 to $4020, and the duties to import a car to Vietnam from USA are duty of the value of the vehicle + $1500 to $2500 for local charges in Vietnam.

It's usually cheaper to drive your car, but shipping becomes competitive or even better for very long distances or when considering the total cost of a road trip (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the convenience and security of shipping. For short trips, driving is significantly cheaper; for cross-country moves, driving costs might approach shipping costs, making the decision dependent on your time, budget, and stress tolerance, notes.

For long distances (500+ miles) and major routes, shipping by train is generally cheaper than by truck, offering significant savings (potentially $200+) due to lower per-mile costs and higher capacity, though it's less convenient with limited locations. Trucking is faster, more flexible, and offers door-to-door service, making it better for shorter distances or when convenience outweighs cost, but rail (like Amtrak's Auto Train) is a very affordable, enclosed option for specific corridors like DC to Florida.
