Average car shipping cost by vehicle size
Size is one of the major factors that impacts price because it has a direct impact on how many cars the shipping company can carry at one time. The greater the size of the car, the greater the price.
Carriers in the United States typically carry 5 to 9 cars at a time, with freight weight limits of up to 80,000 pounds.
| Average cost | Open transport | Enclosed transport | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car | $1,180 | $995 | $1,390 |
