Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Anchorage, Alaska to Indianapolis, Indiana

The cheapest way to ship a car in the USA is by using open car transport, where your vehicle is exposed to the elements on a multi-car carrier, saving hundreds over enclosed shipping, plus booking in advance, choosing flexible pickup/delivery, and considering terminal-to-terminal service for the best rates. Driving it yourself is an alternative for shorter moves but adds gas/lodging costs; towing it behind a moving truck is also an option if you're already renting one.

Shipping a car 1,000 miles typically costs $800 to $1,800, with open transport averaging $650–$1,070 and enclosed transport costing more, around $1,000–$1,800, depending heavily on vehicle size, route, and market demand. Factors like seasonality, fuel prices, vehicle condition, and the specific locations (major cities vs. rural) significantly influence the final price.
