How much does it cost to ship a car bought online?
Shipping a car purchased online typically costs between $500 and $1,500, depending on several key factors. One of the biggest costs is distance, longer shipments cost more, while shorter, regional deliveries are more affordable. The type of vehicle also plays a role: larger or heavier vehicles like trucks and SUVs tend to be more expensive to transport than smaller sedans or compact cars.
Another important consideration is your shipping method. Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option, while enclosed transport offers added protection from the elements—ideal for high-value or classic vehicles—but comes at a higher price.
| Average car shipping cost per mile (2025) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance | Open transport cost | Enclosed transport cost | |
| 1-500 miles | $1.85/mile | $2.53/mile | |
| 501-1,500 miles | $.91/mile | $1.25/mile | |
| 1,500/miles | $.59/mile | $.84/mile | |

Frequently asked questions
What if I need to ship a car ASAP?
We offer guaranteed pickup options based on your schedule for an additional fee. Our team is here to help you pinpoint the best option for safe and fast transport.
Does it cost less to ship from a major city?
While not a guarantee, it can be less expensive to ship from a major city. If you live in a major metropolitan area with a high volume of shipments, carriers may be able to fill their trucks faster and occasionally offer reduced rates.
Can I ship personal items in my car?
Cars transported on land: Yes! You can have free of charge up to 1 piece of luggage, such as a suitcase or a bag, of up to 100 lb. placed in the trunk or cargo area only. Cars transported on water: No! The vehicle must be completely empty of personal belongings, except for factory installed equipment or the Port will reject it.
Are vehicles insured during transport?
For car shipments being transported over land, an insurance policy of up to $100,000 is provided by the motor carrier that transports your vehicle. This is subject to some exclusions and limitations. For car shipments being transported over the ocean, those are subject to the terms and conditions of the oceanic transporter, which assumes limited liability for damages so it’s imperative that you review their terms beforehand and arrange for additional insurance prior to shipping (if necessary).
