Your mom is very lucky to have you! The average cost to ship a car to Costa Rica is between $800 and $1,000 from
Washington
state.
This is the cost for most sedans and crossover SUVs. Larger SUVs or trucks will cost more, and any vehicle you ship must have a clean title and no liens. This means you must own the vehicle you wish to ship.
Another factor affecting the cost of shipping is how you’d like to arrange for the vehicle to be picked up. You can drive it to the port or have it picked up by the shipping company, though the latter option will cost more. Make sure the vehicle has no more than ¼ tank of fuel, as any more poses a safety hazard.
Your mom will need to find car insurance in Costa Rica to insure her new car. It’s also a good time for you to refresh your car insurance policy to make sure you’re getting the best deal. Try using the number-one-rated car insurance app,
