Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from California to Pennsylvania

Shipping a car from California to Pennsylvania generally costs between $1,400 and $2,200+, depending on vehicle size, transport type (open vs. enclosed), carrier, and season, with larger vehicles and enclosed transport adding significant costs, while open carriers are cheaper but expose your car to elements, with delivery taking about 7-15 days.

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.

Selecting an open transport carrier is the cheapest way to ship your car. It costs an average of $0.93 less per mile compared to a closed carrier. Booking at least two weeks in advance can help you get the best price because it allows more drivers to bid on your job.
