Shipping Cost from Montevideo to Bakersfield, California

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.

Shipping a Car from the Dominican Republic to the USA starts at a cost of $1,850 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 20 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in the Dominican Republic and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

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.
