Shipping Cost from Lima to Buenos Aires

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

For reliability, top-rated companies consistently include AmeriFreight, praised for customer satisfaction, price transparency, and carrier quality; Montway Auto Transport, known for broad coverage, communication, and reliability; and Sherpa Auto Transport, noted for excellent customer reviews and price guarantees. Direct Connect Auto Transport also ranks high for reliability, while companies like SGT Auto Transport and Mercury Auto Transport are also frequently recommended, with many focusing on brokers who vet carriers carefully.
