Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Calgary to Cleveland, Ohio

Shipping a car from California to Ohio generally costs between $1,100 and $2,100, with most estimates falling in the $1,200-$1,800 range for standard open transport, while enclosed carriers cost significantly more ($1,500-$2,000+). Costs vary based on vehicle size, time of year (seasonal demand), fuel prices, and specific pickup/drop-off points, with longer distances reducing the per-mile cost but increasing the total.

Importing a car from Canada to the US involves shipping costs ( hundreds to thousands of dollars), plus duties (like 2.5% for cars, 25% for trucks), taxes (like AC tax, gas guzzler tax), Customs Broker fees (hundreds of dollars for filings), a CBP Bond, and potential state-level taxes, adding significant variability but generally costing thousands in total for a smooth process, though USMCA trade agreement often reduces tariffs for US-made vehicles.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.
