This is not surprising, as the development of modern technologies and online services has made calculating costs even easier than before. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car shipping cost<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes all basic transportation expenses:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pickup of the car from the specified location<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery of the car to the address<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic car insurance<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment for the services of the driver-carrier<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding what is included in the final price helps to avoid unexpected expenses and choose the best delivery option. And one of the key points is the choice between door-to-door delivery and terminal shipment.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first option is more convenient, as the car is picked up and delivered directly to your address; however, it may cost 10-15% more. The second important choice is the type of transporter: open or closed. Open trailers are 40-60% cheaper and are suitable for regular cars. Enclosed trailers provide complete protection and are ideal for expensive cars.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern online calculators have made the ordering process as straightforward as possible, allowing you to get an accurate estimate of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost to ship a car<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in just a few minutes. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at all the details of paying for your car.<\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Cost to Ship a Car in 2025<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average cost of shipping a car in 2025 depends on the distance, type of transporter, and region. For short distances of up to 500 miles, the price is typically $400-$700 when using an open trailer, but keep in mind the size of the car. For medium distances of 500 to 1,500 miles, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car transport prices<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> range from $700 to $1,200. Long routes over 1,500 miles can cost $1,000-$1,800 or more. Closed transport is about one and a half to two times more expensive than open transport.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average prices by distance in 2025:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>0-500 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Open transport $400-$700, enclosed $600-$1,050.

That&#8217;s why you can easily calculate the cost of transportation in our simple <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onyxautotransport.com\/onyxautotransport\/quote\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">calculator from point A to point B<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Calculate the Cost to Ship a Car per Mile<\/span><\/h2>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1664\" src=\"https:\/\/onyxautotransport.com\/onyxautotransport\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-How-to-Calculate-the-Cost-to-Ship-a-Car-per-Mile-min.jpg\" alt=\"cost to ship a car\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" \/>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculating the cost per mile helps you quickly estimate the approximate cost for your route. In 2025, the average cost is approximately $0.50 to $1.50 per mile. But the specific figure depends on the total distance. The longer the route, the lower the cost per mile.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost per mile depending on distance:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>0-500 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $1.00-$1.50 per mile for open transport, $1.50-$2.25 for closed transport. For short distances, the carrier&#8217;s base costs make up the majority of the cost.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>500-1,000 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $0.80-$1.10 per mile for open transport, $1.20-$1.65 for closed. Medium distances offer a more favorable cost per mile.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>1,000-1,500 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $0.70-$0.95 per mile for open transport, $1.05-$1.43 for closed transport. This is where the real savings on long routes begin.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>1,500-2,000 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $0.60-$0.85 per mile for open transport, $0.90-$1.28 for closed transport. Transcontinental routes become more efficient.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Over 2,000 miles.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $0.50-$0.75 per mile for open transport, $0.75-$1.13 for closed transport. The lowest cost per mile is achieved at maximum distances.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple calculation formula involves several steps. Determine the distance between cities in miles using Google Maps. Find the appropriate rate per mile based on your total distance. Multiply the distance by the rate per mile to get an approximate estimate of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost to ship a car across the US<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, shipping from Phoenix to Portland (1,430 miles) at a rate of $0.82 per mile: 1,430 \u00d7 $0.82 = $1,173. If you require enclosed transport, multiply the result by approximately 1.5 to arrive at $1,760.
