How much does it cost to ship a vehicle?

You may or may not know, but, the prices for car shipping varies, depending on many factors, from the model and weight of the car to the distance and company you go with. 

Typically, on shorter hauls you should expect about $500 – $700, and for longer hauls, they can reach as high as $1,500.

Vehicle shipping prices also depend on supply and demand. When there is a large backlog of vehicles that need to be shipped, that affects the pricing of your shipment. Other factors that affect shipping price include whether or not the car is operable or if you want an enclosed trailer for shipping, there are options available for that as well. 

You must understand the final price you’ll pay is based on many factors. These factors include:

  • Trip distance
  • Car make and model
  • Vehicle condition
  • Transport type
  • Location
  • Time of year

When you sign up for our free, no-obligation quote, you’ll see that we ask for the make and model of the vehicle you’re looking to ship. The reason for this is due to size. The taller and longer the vehicle, the more room they take up on the transport vehicle. These larger vehicles cost more to move, so make sure the carrier knows up front the make and model and any modifications done to the vehicle.

If your vehicle is inoperable, it becomes a time-consuming process for the carrier. Loading the vehicle often requires a forklift or a wrecker. Make sure when you’re setting up the shipment the carrier knows the vehicle does not run, if the carrier gets there to pick up the vehicle and they cannot load it due to this reason, you will be charged a fee and they will not be able to pick up your vehicle as planned.
