Shipping Cost from Johannesburg to San Salvador

You can ship a vehicle to El Salvador if it's relatively new, with passenger cars generally limited to 8 years old, buses to 10, and trucks to 15 years old from their manufacture date, though specific rules for 2025 favor newer models (like 2017+ for light vehicles) and there are potential exemptions for returning families or classics, so always check with DGA El Salvador (Aduana) or a shipper for exact requirements like emissions certificates.

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.
