Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Kolkata to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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.

The cheapest way to ship a car is open transport on a multi-car hauler, as it exposes the vehicle to the elements but costs much less than enclosed shipping. To save more, book in advance, be flexible with dates, choose terminal-to-terminal service (if available), compare quotes from multiple providers like Navi Auto Transport and uShip.

Shipping a car 1,000 miles typically costs $650 to over $1,000, with open transport averaging around $700-$1,000 and enclosed transport costing $1,000-$1,500+, depending on vehicle size, location, season, and condition (running vs. non-running). Expect around $0.70-$1.00 per mile for open carriers and more for enclosed, with prices decreasing per mile for longer distances.
