Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from San Jose to Memphis, Tennessee

Shipping a car from California to Tennessee generally costs between $1,200 and $2,000+, depending heavily on your vehicle type (sedan cheaper, SUV/truck pricier), chosen carrier (open vs. enclosed), fuel costs, time of year, and specific cities, with open transport being the most common and economical for this long, cross-country haul. Expect delivery to take about 4 to 12 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.

Shipping your car via train is the cheapest way to do cross-country car shipping, although this is limited only to certain areas.
