❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Car Shipping to Ecuador
How much does it cost to ship a car to Ecuador from the USA?
In general, shipping a car to Ecuador costs between $1,400 and $3,400. However, the final price varies based on several key factors, including vehicle size, shipping method (RoRo or container), pickup location, and the U.S. departure port. For example, larger, luxury, or specialty vehicles typically cost more due to additional space and handling requirements.
What is the cheapest way to ship a car to Ecuador?
When permitted, RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping usually offers the most affordable option for running vehicles. That said, because of Ecuador’s strict import regulations, container shipping is often required. As a result, most shipments to Ecuador move via container to ensure full compliance.
How long does it take to ship a car to Ecuador?
On average, transit time from the USA to Ecuador ranges from 3 to 5 weeks. That said, customs approvals and clearance procedures may affect the final delivery timeline. Therefore, we always recommend confirming eligibility and documentation early in the process.
What are Ecuador’s car import rules and restrictions?
To clarify, Ecuador enforces strict vehicle import regulations. In summary, the main requirements include:
-
First, Ecuador restricts used vehicle imports and allows them mainly under special conditions
-
Additionally, authorities calculate import duties and taxes based on the vehicle’s CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value
-
Most importantly, a licensed customs broker must handle the customs clearance process
Above all, import eligibility must be confirmed before shipment to avoid delays or denied entry.
Should I choose RoRo or Container shipping?
When comparing shipping options, RoRo shipping offers a lower cost when permitted and works best for operational vehicles.
However, container shipping is required in most cases and is ideal for regulatory compliance, high-value vehicles, and non-running units.
Ultimately, our team evaluates your vehicle and import eligibility to determine the best and most compliant shipping method.
Can you ship non-running or damaged vehicles to Ecuador?
Yes. In these situations, we ship non-running or damaged vehicles using container shipping. When necessary, we also use special loading equipment to ensure safe, secure handling throughout the export process.
