California is one of the busiest auto-transport markets in the country. Los Angeles, the Bay Area and San Diego drive constant relocation and dealer volume, and the ports of LA and Long Beach handle overseas and island moves.

Whether you are buying a car out of state, relocating, or sending a vehicle to family, US Car Mover makes shipping a car to or from California straightforward. We coordinate your move with fully licensed, insured motor carriers, lock in your price up front, and keep you updated door to door, with $0 due until a carrier is assigned. We cover Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, plus rural routes and small towns statewide, open or enclosed.

What it costs

California car shipping costs

Your price depends on distance, vehicle size, open vs. enclosed transport, the season, and current carrier demand, not a flat rate. As a rough guide, open transport runs about $0.70 to $1.00 per mile, and the per-mile rate drops on longer hauls. The fastest way to see a real, all-in number for your California move is our instant quote calculator, no phone call required, and we never sell your details.

Because California anchors so many long cross-country routes, eastbound lanes often price better per mile than short in-state hops. For exotics and classics common in LA and the Bay Area, enclosed transport is worth the premium, and we also coordinate ocean moves through the LA/Long Beach ports.
