Shipping Cost from Santiago to New Delhi

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.

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.

Yes, you can ship your car from the USA to India, but it involves significant costs (import duties up to 100-125%), complex customs procedures, specific documentation (like manufacturer's invoice, passport, Bill of Lading), and stringent vehicle preparation, with options like container or Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipping available. Be ready for high taxes and ensure the car meets Indian regulations, like having right-hand steering and kilometers-per-hour speedometers if it's a new vehicle, says this Quora post.
