  1. Navigating Car Shipping Costs: A Comprehensive Guide Automobile ownership is a significant investment. Transporting vehicles is often a necessity. In 2023, over 15.5 million new cars were sold in the US. Many required transportation. The US auto transport market was valued at $10.5 billion in 2022. Annually, 31 million Americans move. This increases demand for car shipping services.

  2. Key Factors Driving Shipping Costs Vehicle Type & Size Distance & Route Shipping Method Sedans cost less than SUVs or trucks. Size differences can change cost by 20-50%. Cross-country trips (2500+ miles) average $0.40-$1.00 per mile. Longer distances often mean lower per-mile rates. Open carriers are more affordable. Enclosed transport can be 40-60% more expensive. This offers greater protection. Seasonality & Demand Peak seasons like summer or "snowbird" season (November-March) increase prices. Expect 10-20% higher rates during these times. Fuel prices also directly impact shipping costs. A $0.50/gallon increase can add 5-10% to your total bill.

  3. Domestic Car Shipping: Cost Breakdown Short Distance (<500 miles) Average $1.00-$3.00 per mile. For example, Los Angeles to Las Vegas (270 miles) for a sedan could cost $270-$810. Long Distance (>1500 miles) Average $0.40-$1.00 per mile. New York to Miami (1300 miles) for a sedan: $520-$1300. Cross-Country (2500+ miles) • Open Carrier: Sedan $800-$1500; SUV/Truck $1000-$2000. • Enclosed Carrier: Sedan $1200-$2500; SUV/Truck $1500-$3500. Door-to-door service can add $50-$200 to the total cost compared to terminal-to-terminal.
