How much does it cost to ship a car?

Answer 1

It depends on how big the car, where, and when you are shipping it. Coast to coast car shipping for a standard size sedan should range anywhere from $750 - $1,000. The rates should decrase during the slower winter months and increase during the busier season during the summer periods. Car shippers charge anywhere from $650 - $800 to transport sedans between New York to Florida. SUVs, vans and pickup trucks run about $900 - $1,000.

The cars are put on a semi truck trailer. It can be either open or enclosed (for more protection). Enclosed is safer for your vehicle but cost more money. The trucks can come straight to your house and drop off where ever you like.

I'd have to disagree on cost just a little. While it does depend on the size of the vehicle you're shipping as well where it's coming from and going to, the prices have changed quite a bit. Most of the quotes I've received for mid-sized car from Italy to the Southeastern United States have quoted me close to $2,000.00. That's still not bad, but from Europe to the U.S. and vice versa, there is just no way the costs start around $750.00. If they do start that low, they must be cutting corners somewhere like not being fully covered. I'd rather not take that chance with my vehicle to pay a considerably cheaper price.

I'd call and ask some companies directly. At least you can give them the details and they can give you an estimate based on your criteria.
