Question 1

How much to ship a car 3,000 miles?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is it cheaper to drive or ship your car?

Accepted Answer

It's usually cheaper to drive for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, shipping can become competitive or even cheaper when you factor in the "hidden" costs of driving (gas, hotels, food, wear-and-tear) versus the upfront shipping fee, especially if you're moving with others or have an unreliable car.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to ship a car?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking during off-peak seasons, being flexible with dates, and getting multiple quotes from reputable brokers, as this method uses multi-car trailers with no weather protection but significantly lowers costs compared to enclosed shipping. For even shorter distances, having someone drive it or finding a driver moving in the same direction can be the absolute cheapest, but open transport is best for standard auto shipping needs.

Question 4

How much does it typically cost to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

Question 5

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

A piano dolly makes moving easier but hiring professional piano movers is generally better and safer, especially for valuable or large pianos, stairs, or long distances, as they have specialized equipment, experience, insurance, and manpower, preventing costly damage or injury that can easily happen with a DIY approach, even with a dolly. While a dolly reduces strain and protects floors, it doesn't replace expertise, proper padding, and liability coverage, making movers the superior choice for most situations.

Question 6

How to transport a piano long distance?

Accepted Answer

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.
