Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangalore to Chicago, Illinois

Shipping a car to Chicago costs $650–$1,300, with open carrier rates averaging $0.60–$1.00 per mile. Average transit time to Chicago ranges from 3–8 days, depending on origin city, route congestion, and transport type.

Driving costs include food, lodging, and fuel for one person. Like we said earlier, the cost to ship a car is almost always higher than the cost of driving that car the same distance. Even when you factor in additional costs like hotels, gas, and food, driving is still cheaper.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.
