How much does it cost to ship a car?

Most U.S. routes fall between $0.50 and $1.40 per mile depending on vehicle size and whether you choose open or enclosed transport. Use the calculator for a route-specific range.

What is the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?

Open transport loads vehicles on a multi-car carrier exposed to weather. Enclosed transport uses a covered trailer for added protection and typically costs about $0.15 more per mile.
