STRESS-FREE ISLAND SHIPPING

From Your Door to San Juan

We manage every step of your vehicle’s journey to Puerto Rico — pickup, port paperwork, ocean freight, and customs clearance — so you’re never chasing down a form or guessing where your car is. Our bilingual coordinators handle the details in English or Spanish, from your first quote to delivery at the island port.

Puerto Rico Shipping FAQ

Te questions we hear most from customers shipping to or from the island.

Florida to Puerto Rico typically takes 4–7 days of sailing plus 1–2 days for customs clearance. From the Northeast, plan for 7–10 days total. Delays are possible during peak season (August–October) or hurricane season.

You’ll need the original title, a notarized Power of Attorney, and a valid photo ID. We handle the ISF-5 filing, EPA-3520 form, and Puerto Rico DOT Form 4802 on your behalf.

No. USDA regulations prohibit personal items inside a vehicle during ocean transport. For household goods, ask us about our freight partner referrals.

U.S.-registered vehicles pay no import duty. Non-U.S. vehicles are subject to a 6.6% duty — we provide exact calculations before shipping so there are no surprises at the port.

Puerto Rico collects an excise tax on vehicles arriving on the island, based on the vehicle’s assessed value. This tax is paid by the customer directly at the Port of San Juan, not through DQ Trans — we’ll walk you through the process so it’s not a surprise on pickup day.

Our primary port is San Juan (PRIZ). Ponce and Mayagüez are served as secondary ports, and island-wide delivery is available to all 78 municipalities for an additional fee.

Daniela did a great job for me and my son. My son is in the military and could only get his car at a certain time. The driver made it within a block of pickup in a busy city area. No surprises — I'd recommend her to all my friends and family.

As a first time shipper I was terrified, but their above-and-beyond customer care got me through. My car was picked up on time and delivered in perfect condition, at the lowest cost I was quoted — no surprise fees. Family owned and they treat you like family!
