Shipping Cost from Jacksonville, Florida to San Salvador

The 8-Year Maximum Age Rule Standard Age Limitation: El Salvador enforces a maximum age limit of 8 years for most imported vehicles, calculated from the vehicle's manufacture date to the current year. For example, in 2025, vehicles manufactured in 2017 or later typically qualify for import consideration.

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.

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.
