Shipping Cost from Ho Chi Minh City to Guadalajara

Importing a Car from Vietnam to the USA starts at a cost of $3,250 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 30 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in Vietnam and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

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.
