Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Tegucigalpa

Costs to ship a car from the U.S. to Honduras in a moving container start at $1,500 and go as high as $3,000. Larger vehicles that don't fit in a standard shipping container can cost slightly more since they will have to be transported using a different method, such as roll-on, roll-off (RORO) shipping.

Passenger Vehicles: Must be 10 years old or newer from year of manufacture. Commercial Vehicles: Age restrictions vary by type and function; verify with Honduras customs for your specific use case (light commercial vehicles typically follow 10-year rules, but heavier trucks may have different limits)

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
