Shipping Cost from Nouakchott to Montevideo

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.

Shipping a 20-foot container to Uruguay typically costs $2,400–$4,900; 40-foot containers range from $3,800–$7,300 based on origin. Ocean freight to Montevideo averages 4–7 weeks; customs delays or rural delivery may extend final handoff by several days.
