Shipping Cost from St. Paul, Minnesota to Mumbai

From the U.S., it usually costs from $2,200 to $5,600 to haul a vehicle to India. Most cars transported to the area come by way of a shipping container, which can accommodate most standard rides. For larger motors that do not fit in a container, the costs are generally higher.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.
