Question 1

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What is the cheapest way to ship a car?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport (an open carrier truck), as it's the most common and moves multiple cars at once, saving costs over enclosed shipping. To get the best rates, book in advance, be flexible with dates, compare multiple quotes from different brokers, choose terminal-to-terminal, and ship with a near-empty gas tank.

Question 3

What is the cost per mile to ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Almost all car shipments will cost between $0.50 and $2.00 for each mile traveled. If your shipment is only 300 miles, expect your shipment to cost between $1.50 and $2.00 per mile. However, if your shipment is 2,000 miles, expect the cost per mile to fall between $0.50 and $1.00.

Question 4

What is the cheapest way to send a piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

Question 5

How much does it cost to ship one piece of furniture?

Accepted Answer

Cost Range: $200-$800 for most furniture pieces, depending on size, weight, and distance. A typical couch might cost $300-$500 to ship from coast to coast, while a dining room set could range from $400-$700. Key Advantages: Significantly cheaper than full truckload shipping.

Question 6

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.
