Car shipping cost

Auto transport costs are primarily determined by the distance traveled. While longer distances incur higher overall costs, the cost per mile generally decreases. For instance, distances between 1 and 500 miles may average $1.83 per mile, resulting in a $457.50 charge for a 250-mile transport. For distances ranging from 500 to 1,500 miles, the per-mile cost typically drops to $0.85, leading to an $850 charge for a 1,000-mile trip. Between 1,500 and 2,500 miles, the cost per mile is approximately $0.57, equating to $1,100 for a 2,000-mile move. For distances exceeding 2,500 miles, the per-mile cost is estimated at $0.46, resulting in a $1,276 charge for a 2,900-mile transport.

Please note that these are approximate figures. For a precise cost estimate tailored to your specific needs, we recommend utilizing our complimentary quote calculator.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Shipping a Vehicle:

Distance

The distance the vehicle needs to be shipped is a major factor in determining the cost. Generally, the more miles the vehicle needs to be shipped, the higher the cost will be. However, the cost per mile may be lower for longer distances because the shipping company can spread the fixed costs of the shipment over a greater number of miles. For example, if a vehicle is being shipped 1,000 miles, the cost per mile may be $0.85. If the vehicle is being shipped 3,000 miles, the cost per mile may be $0.45

Location

The location of the origin and destination of the shipment can also affect the cost. Shipping a vehicle to or from a remote location will typically be more expensive than shipping to or from a major city. This is because shipping companies often charge higher rates for remote locations due to the increased cost of fuel and labor. For example, shipping a vehicle from New York City to Los Angeles may cost $1,000, while shipping a vehicle from a small town to Los Angeles may cost slightly more.

Size and Weight

Larger and heavier vehicles will cost more to ship than smaller and lighter vehicles. This is because larger vehicles take up more space on the trailer. Longer and taller vehicles require additional adjustment during transport, which may slightly increase the cost of transporting the vehicle For example, a standard sedan may cost $500 , while a large SUV may cost little bit more to ship.

Type of Shipping

Frequently asked questions

Passengers are permitted to bring personal belongings weighing up to 100 pounds in a suitably sized box or single piece of luggage. The dimensions of the luggage must be such that it can be accommodated within the trunk of the vehicle.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Your vehicle is protected by the carrier’s cargo insurance during shipping. This coverage ensures that your vehicle is insured against physical damage or loss while in the carrier’s possession. In addition to the carrier’s cargo insurance, we offer contingent cargo insurance that provides up to $250,000 in protection. This insurance acts as a safety net in case the trucker’s policy does not fully cover a valid claim.

When is the vehicle going to be picked-up?

After an order is placed, the company searches its car carrier network to find a trucker to transport the vehicle. They assign the best available trucker and provide an estimated pickup time. The trucker will then call the customer to confirm the details ahead of schedule.

When you place an order, you will receive an estimated transit time for your shipment. This will give you a window for when your car will be delivered. Transit times depend on moving distance.
