Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Buenos Aires to Los Angeles, California

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.

Shipping a car to California costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for short, local moves to $1,000 - $3,000+ for cross-country trips, with open transport (most common) cheaper than enclosed, and costs varying by distance, vehicle size (SUVs cost more), fuel prices, and carrier. Expect around $1,100-$1,800 for 1,500-2,500 mile journeys, while coast-to-coast (2,500+ miles) can be $1,400-$1,750 (open) or $1,800-$2,000+ (enclosed).

If you need to ship your car to the other side of the country – train shipping will be more economical. If you need fast delivery right to your place – shipping by truck will be your best option.
