Shipping Cost from San Juan to Cairo

The cheapest kind of international car shipping is a RORO vessel. This shipping method is often more affordable for shipping cars than containers or air freight. However, it also leaves your vehicle more susceptible to damage during transport to your final destination.

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

The average cost to transport a vehicle generally ranges from $400 to over $2,000, heavily depending on distance, with short trips costing less ($400-$800) and cross-country journeys upwards of $1,200-$2,000; open transport is cheaper ($0.50-$1.00/mile) while enclosed transport (for classic/luxury cars) adds 30-50% more, with factors like vehicle size, condition (running vs. inoperable), and seasonality also influencing the final price.
