How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?

Most nationwide car shipments run $850–$1,900 for open transport and $1,400–$3,200 for enclosed transport, depending on distance, vehicle size, fuel prices and season. Coast-to-coast moves (Los Angeles to New York, for example) sit at the top of that range, while regional moves of 500–800 miles typically land near the bottom.

Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii adds ocean freight and port handling — usually $1,100–$2,500 depending on origin and island. International shipments to Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are quoted individually, since customs duties, container type and port fees all change the total. The form above returns a firm, no-obligation number for your exact route.

What you need to get an accurate quote

• Pickup and delivery zip codes — city-level detail is enough for a first estimate.
• Vehicle year, make and model — oversized trucks, lifted vehicles and non-runners cost more.
• Operable or not — a running vehicle rolls on and off; a non-runner needs a winch.
• Your dates — flexible pickup windows almost always get better rates.
• Open or enclosed — choose enclosed for classics, exotics and anything with a fresh paint job.
