    How much does it cost to ship a car to or from California?

     Auto transport on an open car carrier to or from California is generally in the .40¢ cents to .50¢ cents per mile range depending on the price of fuel at the time of shipment, so a 2,500-mile trip will costs roughly about $1,000. Shorter car shipping trips may cost less overall but have a higher rate per mile; this is because it generally will take the driver the same amount of time to load and unload the vehicles, regardless of the distance he drives. For the first 1-500 miles, the average rate is typically $1.00 per mile, so a 350-mile trip down the coast might cost $350.00. The longer the distance, the lower the price: Moving a standard sized car 1000 miles will drop the rate to .75¢ cents a mile, or $750.00, while taking it 3,000 miles could cost around $1,200.00.

    Top 5 Reasons to use vehicle shipping to or from California instead of driving

     

    1. Avoid hazardous driving conditions.  We all know about the dangers that can come with long-distance driving. Especially if you are considering traveling by car through multiple states, consider using an auto shipping company. Save yourself the stress of having to navigate in areas you are unfamiliar with, hazardous road conditions, and, instead, leave the driving to one of our professional car transporters.
    2. Renting a vehicle can be costly. Renting a car during the time you are away is not only expensive, but it can also be inconvenient. In addition to the restrictions that go along with renting a car, many people find it uncomfortable driving a vehicle that is not their own. Is it a lot easier and convenient to have your vehicle?
    3. Save time and get where you’re going faster.  Driving from the northeast to the south by car takes considerable time. You’re subject to traffic, unpredictable road conditions, other drivers, etc. Save yourself the hassle and ship your vehicle with Smart Auto Move!
    4. Save money on your travel costs. Have you ever added up the expenses of a cross country road trip? People who travel by car can quickly rack up the costs with refueling, unexpected emergencies, hotel costs, stopping to eat, and other detours that may occur along the way.
    5. Enjoy your travel plans! Don’t let your travel plans get ruined! When driving long distances by car, things often fail to go as planned. Weather delays, poor road conditions, and mechanical problems can all cause delays from a few hours to several days. Instead, use Smart Auto Move as your trusted car mover and get to your destination on time and with peace of mind.
