Question 1

How much is it to ship a car from Nebraska to California?

Accepted Answer

Car shipping from Nebraska to California — a 1,458-mile trip — generally costs $1,095 to $1,613. Factors like distance, timing, and fuel all influence the quote. See our pricing resource for details. To get the best price, try to book in advance and compare multiple quotes.

Question 2

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to ship a car across state?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car to another state is by using an open transport carrier, which hauls multiple vehicles on an exposed trailer, significantly lowering costs compared to enclosed options. To save even more, choose terminal-to-terminal service (dropping off/picking up at transport hubs), be flexible with pickup/delivery dates, book in advance, and use reputable carriers to compare quotes.

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

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country
 On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500.

Question 6

How much is it to ship furniture from state to state?

Accepted Answer

The average price to move furniture within the U.S. ranges between $300 and $1,000. If you're only moving a short distance, you'll likely pay between $300 and $800 per piece of furniture, while long-distance moving costs can range from $475 to $1,600 per item.

Question 7

How much on average does it 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 8

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

A piano dolly helps with short, flat moves but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety, preventing costly damage (like a cracked soundboard or ruined floors), and handling stairs/tight spots, as they have specialized equipment, experience, and insurance for these heavy, delicate instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the risk of injury or significant repair costs usually outweighs the cost of professionals, especially for valuable or grand pianos.

Question 9

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.
