Shipping Cost from Montevideo to Washington, District of Columbia

The cost to ship a car to Uruguay usually ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, based on vehicle size, shipping method, and departure port. Container shipping is more expensive but offers better protection, while roll-on roll-off is more budget-friendly. Inland U.S. transport and Uruguay import taxes are separate.

For most cars from the U.S., the cost of hauling to Colombia is $1,700 to $4,100 (this assumes the introductory shipment of a standard vehicle). Most shipments to the area come from a shipping container, so larger vehicles that cannot fit into a container are assessed an additional cost.

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.
