Automobile Shipping Rates
Q:Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?
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.
Q:Can I bring a Mexican car into the US?
Yes, you can bring a car from Mexico to the U.S., but it's complex: the vehicle must meet strict U.S. safety and emissions standards (unless over 25 years old), you need extensive paperwork (CBP, DOT, EPA forms), and you must pay import duties (around 2.5% for cars). The process involves declaring it at the border with CBP, getting it certified for compliance (often needing manufacturer letters or independent inspection), paying fees, and then registering with your state's DMV.
Q:What is the cheapest way to ship a car?
The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.

Q:How much does shipping cost from Mexico to the US?
Shipping from Mexico to the U.S. varies widely in price, from around $30 for small USPS packages (flat rate) to hundreds or thousands for larger freight, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks), weight/size, and method (air, truck, sea). Expect basic small parcels to start around $30-$60 via USPS, while larger shipments might cost $0.20-$0.40/lb for LTL (truck), $1,200-$3,500/container for ocean, or $3-$6/kg for air freight, with significant potential for customs fees and duties.
Q:How much does it cost to ship furniture internationally?
Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from $2,000 to over $10,000, depending heavily on volume (more stuff = more cost), destination (Asia/Europe vs. Australia), shipping method (shared container vs. full container/air freight), and service level (self-pack vs. full-service movers). Expect to pay roughly $2,500-$4,500 for a one-bedroom equivalent to Europe/Asia, while large moves can hit $8,000-$13,000+, with air freight being the priciest but fastest option.
Q:Why is shipping from Mexico to the USA so expensive?
