Happy customers after their Puerto Rico car transport was delivered

Moving a car between the mainland and Puerto Rico is not like driving it across state lines. There is no road to the island, so every Puerto Rico car transport combines a land leg on a truck, an ocean leg on a vessel and a final delivery once the car is released in San Juan.

Each leg runs on its own schedule. A carrier truck has a route to keep, a vessel sails on a set date, and the port releases cars only when their paperwork is complete. When one piece slips, the car waits. Our job is to line those pieces up so your car keeps moving.

That is why so many of our customers come to us through a cousin, a coworker or a neighbor who already shipped with us. They remember the person who answered the phone at night, explained the documents in Spanish and called them back when the car arrived.

Whether you are relocating, sending a car to a relative or bringing home a vehicle you bought on the mainland, you get one team and one phone number from the first quote until the keys are in your hand.

New to the process? Our Puerto Rico autoshipping page covers the service from the beginning.

Two ways to transport your car to Puerto Rico

Door-to-door transport

  • We pick the car up at your home, office or dealership
  • A carrier truck takes it to the departure port
  • We handle check-in at the terminal for you
  • The car is delivered to your address in Puerto Rico

Best for: anyone far from a port, or who would rather not spend a day at the terminal.

Port drop-off and pickup

  • You drive the car to the departure port yourself
  • We book the sailing and prepare you for check-in
  • The car crosses to San Juan
  • You or someone you trust collects it at the port

Best for: owners who live near the port and want to keep land transport to a minimum.

Not sure which fits you? Call us and we will compare both for your addresses.

Vehicles we transport to Puerto Rico

  • Sedans and compact cars

    The everyday cars most families take with them when they move to the island.

  • SUVs and minivans

    Larger family vehicles take more space on the truck and the vessel, which we include in your quote.

  • Pickup trucks

    Tell us about lift kits, toolboxes or other changes so we can plan for the extra size.

  • Cars that do not run

    A car that cannot be driven needs equipment to load and unload. Let us know in advance.

Your Puerto Rico car transport, step by step

  1. Get your quote

    Share the year, make and model, the pickup address and where the car is going on the island.

  2. Prepare documents

    We go over your title, registration and photo ID, plus a lender's letter if the car is financed.

  3. Pickup and sailing

    The car is inspected, taken to the port and loaded on the vessel. We confirm when it sails.

  4. Release and delivery

    After the Puerto Rico excise tax is paid and the car is released, it goes to your address.

What decides how long your car transport takes

  • Distance to the port. A car picked up far from the departure port spends more days on the truck before it sails.
  • The sailing schedule. Vessels leave on set days, and the car waits at the port for the next one.
  • Your paperwork. Missing documents are the most common cause of delays. We check them before pickup.
  • Release in Puerto Rico. The car leaves the port once the excise tax is paid to Hacienda.
  • Season. Busy periods fill sailings quickly, so booking early keeps your timeline shorter.

We give you an estimated timeline for your route with your quote.

Getting your car ready

  • Keep a quarter tank of fuel or less
  • Remove all personal belongings from the cabin and trunk
  • Wash the car so its condition can be recorded accurately
  • Take dated photos of every side before pickup
  • Turn off the alarm and have a full set of keys ready

Puerto Rico car transport questions

How does Puerto Rico car transport work?

Your car travels by truck to a mainland port, crosses to San Juan on a vessel and is released once the Puerto Rico excise tax is paid. With door-to-door service, we also pick it up at your address and deliver it to your destination on the island.

Is door-to-door car transport to Puerto Rico available?

Yes. We collect the car at your home, office or dealership and deliver it to your address in Puerto Rico. If you live near the port, you can also drop the car off yourself.

What documents do I need for Puerto Rico car transport?

Plan on the vehicle title, the current registration and a valid photo ID. If the car is financed or leased, you also need a letter from the lender authorizing the shipment. We review everything with you before pickup.

Can someone else receive my car in Puerto Rico?

Yes. Give us the name and phone number of the person who will receive it, and we will tell you what identification and authorization they need to bring.

Can I put personal items in the car?

No. Ocean carriers do not accept personal belongings inside vehicles. Ship the car empty, except for factory equipment such as the spare tire and jack.

How much does Puerto Rico car transport cost?

The price depends on the size of the car, the pickup location, whether it runs and the delivery address on the island. Call (973) 277-6858 for a free quote in English or Spanish.
