Ship Your Car To Or From Aruba.
Typical Shipping Prices – How Much Does It Cost?
- The average cost of having a car shipped to Aruba from the United States is $2,000 to $4,000, depending on where in the U.S. it’s being shipped from.
- Most shipments to Aruba come from the southeastern U.S., so having the vehicle first transported to a coastal port can add to the price, as can customs duties, which vary based on the car's value.
