Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Jose, California to Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Cross-country car shipping from California to Wisconsin can cost anywhere from $1,331 to $1,912, with delivery often taking 4 to 12 days depending on the season and carrier availability.

The cheapest way to ship a car in the USA is by using open car transport, where your vehicle is exposed to the elements on a multi-car carrier, saving hundreds over enclosed shipping, plus booking in advance, choosing flexible pickup/delivery, and considering terminal-to-terminal service for the best rates. Driving it yourself is an alternative for shorter moves but adds gas/lodging costs; towing it behind a moving truck is also an option if you're already renting one.

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, with open transport being cheaper ($0.33-$0.60/mile) and enclosed transport costing more (around $0.75-$1.00+/mile), with prices varying by season, demand, vehicle type, and transport availability. Expect lower per-mile rates for longer distances, but higher overall prices.
