Factors Affecting California Car Shipping Costs & Timelines

It’s important to understand the factors that will influence cost and timelines, such as:

  • Distance
  • Vehicle Type & Size 
  • Transport Method
  • Time of Year

It’s important to note, the working condition of the vehicle will also be factored into cost. If the vehicle is drivable, it’s easy and cheap to load and unload. However, if it’s inoperable, extra equipment and effort will be required, increasing the overall price. 

Shipping Your Car TO and FROM California

On average, the general cost to ship a car is approximately $1,150, but this can range from $550 to $2,450, depending on various factors such as distance and transportation method.

For example, if you’re opting for open carrier shipping, costs can range from $550 to $1,600. However, if you prefer enclosed carrier shipping for added protection, you’re looking at costs averaging between $1,000 and $2,450. 

Keep in mind that car shipping costs are calculated per mile, with prices between $0.60 and $1.70 per mile, and longer distances tend to lower the cost per mile.The size of your vehicle also influences the shipping cost, with each size increase potentially adding $150 to $250 to the shipping cost.

It’s also worth noting that the time of year can affect shipping costs, with the possibility of paying up to 15% less by avoiding peak transportation seasons.
