To my knowledge, at this time, the approximate shipping cost to send a vehicle from Miami to Aruba costs about $1850 plus $250 handling. (This price may have changed because this is fuel price sensitive and such.) PLUS the taxes in Aruba which vary greatly depending on the vehicle. They can start at 12.5% and go as high as 40%. For example, a four door pick-up is considered a luxury SUV type machine as opposed to a work truck, regardless of its true configuration and purpose. So, my Chevy Silverado four door, short-bed, 4WD, diesel, work truck would get clipped at the higher rates even though it is truly a work truck, not an over-size luxury toy. (Needless to say, but I will anyway, it remains in the US of A).
Also, you must have all title documents for the vehicle including documentation that liens have been satisfied.
Try Land-Sea-Air for transporting vehicles. Their number is (954) 246-3935. This is a Miami number, but I think it rings through to Aruba. (If that number is not correct, please PM me. At the time of this writing, I can't call it to double check.)
I would seriously consider buying a vehicle on the island. It saves tons hassle and potential damages in transport. There are many options for vehicles on the island from Chevrolet to Daihatsu to Honda to Nissan and so on. There are also vehicles that you don't see sold in the US. These may appeal to you.
Hope this was helpful.
