Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Norfolk, Virginia to San Diego, California

Shipping a car from Virginia to California generally costs between $1,100 and $2,100, with most estimates falling around the $1,300 - $1,700 range, depending on factors like vehicle size, transport type (open vs. enclosed), time of year, and specific locations, with delivery taking 7-15 days. Expect to pay less for a standard sedan and more for larger vehicles, especially with enclosed transport, and note that summer months often see higher demand and prices.

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.

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.
