Shipping Cost from Wichita, Kansas to San Salvador

El Salvador stands out with no maximum vehicle age for shipping in 2025. Unlike many Latin American countries, it allows classic cars over 20 years old, but incentives favor low-emission newer vehicles. Regulations prioritize environmental impact over manufacturing year.

The 8-Year Maximum Age Rule Standard Age Limitation: El Salvador enforces a maximum age limit of 8 years for most imported vehicles, calculated from the vehicle's manufacture date to the current year. For example, in 2025, vehicles manufactured in 2017 or later typically qualify for import consideration.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.
