Shipping Cost from Mumbai to La Paz

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.

Shipping a car to Mexico typically costs $800 to $3,000+, depending on distance, vehicle size, and shipping method (like Roll-on/Roll-off being cheaper than container shipping ), but remember to factor in extra Mexican taxes, duties (like 10-16% VAT), and fees, plus potential temporary permit deposits (around $200-$400 refundable) if you're visiting, or higher permanent import duties if you're staying, which can significantly increase the total cost.

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.
