How Long Does it Take to Ship a Car to Puerto Rico?
If you want to ship a car from the mainland to Puerto Rico, it helps to know the transit times. In general, this ranges from seven days to 21 days, depending on where your car is being shipped from. Transit times also depend on the logistics of getting your car to the port and coordinating to ensure that it arrives at a time when a ship heading for Puerto Rico will be in port.
Please let us know the vehicle type, year/make/model you are shipping. You will also need to let us know if the vehicle can be driven or not, what the departure port is and what the destination port is.
When you need a car shipped to remote areas like Puerto Rico, rely on our far-reaching experience shipping cars to this U.S. territory known for its rum, culture, beaches, and coral reefs. San Juan is the capital, and it happens to be one of the most popular ports we ship cars to.
The shipping option you choose also affects time. Here’s a look at what’s available to you:

RORO Shipping
RoRo shipping: This is the most popular mid-range cost option, best for when your vehicle is operable and can make it onto the ship on its own.
Air Freight
Air freight: It’s not uncommon for people shipping cars to auto shows to choose this option, but this is the most expensive choice. However, your transit time is reduced to hours or a couple of days as opposed to two or more weeks.

Container Shipping
Container shipping: We can put it in a container and your car will share space with up to five other cars. This option is reserved for when your vehicle is unable to make it onto the ship of its own power.
