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.

To estimate car shipping costs, use online calculators by inputting your pickup/delivery zip codes, vehicle details (size, running condition), transport type (open/enclosed), and time of year ; expect longer distances to lower the per-mile rate but increase total cost, while larger/non-running vehicles and peak seasons (winter/summer) raise prices, with open transport being cheapest and enclosed costing 30-60% more for luxury protection.
