Car shipping to Puerto Rico
A car reaches Puerto Rico on a vessel, not a highway, so this is two priced legs and a short list of operators rather than the whole industry. Here is how the move works, and we will quote the mainland leg to the port.
Where the car sails from
Vehicles for Puerto Rico load at Jacksonville, Port Everglades and arrive at San Juan. A domestic move with no customs entry, but the Jones Act applies: the vessel must be US-flagged, which is why the sailing list is short and the price moves less with season than a mainland lane does.

What that road leg costs
- Montana to Florida · 2,259 mi · $1,530–$1,740

What we quote, and what we do not. The companies in our panel hold US domestic operating authority. The form below prices the road leg from your address to the departure port and sends it to carriers who run it. The ocean leg is booked separately, and anyone who quotes you both as one number without naming the vessel is guessing.

Puerto Rico car shipping FAQ
How much does it cost to transport a car to Puerto Rico?+
The move is two priced legs, not one. A US-flag vessel carries the car to Puerto Rico, and a truck gets it to the departure port. We quote the road leg from any mainland ZIP code; the ocean leg is quoted by the carrier that runs the service, because it depends on the sailing and the port rather than on door mileage.
How long does it take?+
Ocean transit is usually one to two weeks once the vehicle is at the port, plus the road time to reach it and port processing at both ends. Sailings are on a schedule, so missing one can add a week on its own.
Which companies can ship my car to Puerto Rico?+
A short list. Ocean services to Puerto Rico are run by a handful of operators, and the domestic companies in our panel feed them rather than replace them. Ask us for the road leg and we will send it to the carriers who run it.
Where is the car going?
Two ZIP codes. No account, no obligation.
