Question 1

How much does it cost to ship a car from Indiana to Texas?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a car from Indiana to Texas usually costs between $800–$1,200 on open transport for standard sedans. Prices increase for SUVs, trucks, enclosed carriers, or expedited delivery. Key cost drivers include distance, vehicle size, fuel prices, seasonality, and pickup flexibility.

Question 2

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping often becomes more cost-effective when factoring in gas, food, lodging, wear-and-tear, and time, making it worth paying a carrier to avoid the hassle and expense of a long solo trip, though driving saves on carrier fees but adds travel time and costs.

Question 3

Is it cheaper to ship a car by train or truck?

Accepted Answer

It's often cheaper to ship a car by train, especially for long distances on specific routes like Amtrak's Auto Train (DC to Florida), offering enclosed protection for potentially less than an open truck carrier; however, for general cross-country moves not on Amtrak routes, truck (open carrier) is usually the most economical, though trains offer better protection and environmental benefits if available.

Question 4

What is the cheapest way to ship furniture to another state?

Accepted Answer

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Freight
 The carrier picks up your crated or palletized furniture and delivers it alongside other loads. While LTL shipments may make multiple stops and transfers, it's one of the cheapest methods overall for medium-sized loads.

Question 5

How expensive is it to ship a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Question 6

Does UPS or FedEx ship furniture?

Accepted Answer

The best method for shipping furniture pieces depends on their weight and dimensions. FedEx and UPS will accept packages that weigh up to 150 pounds. For both services, the longest side of the box can't exceed 108 inches (9 feet). The combined length and girth limit is 130 inches for FedEx and 165 inches for UPS.
