How much does it cost to a ship a car?We get this question asked very often. The cost to ship a car within the United States is based on the distance traveled, the size of the car and the time of year. There are many different factors that go into pricing a car shipment. The biggest factor is the type of car it is - small sedan or a large full size truck.
Unles it is very expensive car, such as a Range Rover, or aBentley, the shipping and the IMPORT TAXES to get it into the USAwill be more than the car is worth. Also the car has to be able toPASS the USA's emmissions tests, and many UK cars don't pass the USGovernment required smog tests. I would strongly suggest that youdo a lot of research about this before you send it off in aseaboard container. Jim B Toronto. Two ways to ship acar.container and non container. If it's a 'regular' car ie:family car that you won't get too upset over the possibility ofminor scratches etc.the cost should be under $1500.00 US (fifteenhundred).

Shipping a compact car from the U.S. To Europe generally will start around $750. The price skyrockets if shipping a larger automobile, such as a full-sized SUV, which will begin around $2,000. Transporting a standard-sized car to Australia from the United States will cost about $2,950. In most cases, shipping your car overseas requires shipping it in an ocean container.
The extra space in the container can be utilized for personal items that will be shipped along with your car. If, for example, you've included household items along with your car being shipped to Australia, the price will be about $3,200 for a 20-foot container that can handle a car and a few small items, or you can pay $4,600 for a 40-foot container that holds up to 47,500 pounds.
