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.

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.

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.
