Auto transport, or vehicle shipping, is the service of moving cars from one destination to another typically between states. You can ship a vehicle on an open transport (Better Rates) or enclosed transport (for additional protection). Typically, enclosed auto transport will cost about 35-45% more than open transport. Car shipping costs around $1.40/mile for short distances (1-500 miles) or $595 for a 300-mile trip. Medium distances will cost you about $.93/mile (500-1500 miles) or $950 for 1000 miles. Long distances (1500+ miles) are around $.60/mile or about  $850 for a 1500-mile trip.
