Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Anaheim, California

Shipping a car from Europe to the USA typically costs $1,200 to $3,500, depending on origin country, U.S. port, vehicle size, and shipping method. Roll-on roll-off is the most affordable, while container shipping costs more for added protection. Customs fees, port handling, and inland U.S. delivery also affect totals.

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.

Shipping a car to California generally costs between $500 and $2,000+, depending heavily on distance, your vehicle's size, and carrier type (open is cheaper, enclosed is pricier). Expect around $1.00-$1.50/mile for short trips and $0.60-$0.75/mile for cross-country hauls with open carriers, while enclosed shipping adds significant cost but protects against elements, ideal for luxury or classic cars.
