Shipping a car in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is one of the single highest-volume car shipping markets in the United States. Constant relocation, a huge dealer and auction scene, and one of the country's densest populations of luxury, classic and exotic cars all keep carriers moving in and out of the LA basin every day.

How much does car shipping cost in Los Angeles?

Your Los Angeles price depends on distance, vehicle size, open vs. enclosed transport, and the season, not a flat rate. As a guide, open transport runs about $0.50 to $1.00 per mile, and the per-mile rate drops on longer hauls. The fastest way to a real, all-in number is our instant quote calculator.

Los Angeles route notes

Los Angeles logistics & pickup coordination

LA's freeway sprawl means we coordinate pickup windows around traffic and access, and in tight neighborhoods a full carrier may meet you on a nearby main street. Eastbound lanes to Texas, Arizona and the rest of the country are plentiful and price well, and the Ports of LA and Long Beach support overseas and island moves. For exotics, enclosed transport is the popular choice here.
