Shipping Cost from Kuala Lumpur to Fresno, California

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

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 a car to California typically costs $500 to $2,000, depending heavily on distance (cross-country is pricier), vehicle size, and transport type (open is cheaper than enclosed). For short trips, expect $400-$700; for cross-country, $1,200-$2,000 or more. Factors like seasonal demand (summer is higher) and specific cities (LA/SF are competitive) also affect pricing, so getting quotes from several carriers is best.
