Shipping Cost from Warsaw to Saint Petersburg

Shipping a car from Poland to the U.S. typically costs between $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the size of the vehicle, shipping method (container vs. RoRo), and destination in the U.S.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

To estimate car shipping cost, use online calculators with your ZIP codes, vehicle details (size, type, running condition), and desired transport (open/enclosed), factoring in distance (longer is cheaper per mile, but higher total), seasonality (winter/summer peak), and urgency ; expect $0.50-$2.00+ per mile, with larger cars, enclosed trailers, and inoperable vehicles costing more, and always compare quotes from multiple reputable carriers.
