One of the cheapest ways to transport a car across the country is with open transport. As the most popular transportation method, open auto transport is an economical option and costs less than other cross-country car shipping methods, such as enclosed, express, or top-load car transport.
With open transport, your vehicle is loaded on a multi-car or single-car trailer and delivered to your chosen destination. While your car will be exposed to the elements, such as dirt and traffic grime, it's no different than driving your car on the highway.
To find cheap car shipping quotes, you first have to create a listing on uShip. You'll want to provide the complete shipment details, including the year, make, and model of your vehicle, shipping dates, and pickup and delivery locations.
Once you've listed your car on the uShip marketplace, you'll start receiving quotes from transporters willing to haul your vehicle to its destination. Review each carrier's profile, including user feedback from previous shipments. You'll want to pick the service provider that best fits your budget and needs. When you've found the right carrier, select “accept” to complete the booking and start the delivery process.
On average, the cheapest vehicle transport costs $0.58 per mile if you're shipping a car 2,000 miles or more. For distances of less than 100 miles, the cost is an average of $2.75 per mile.
Distance | Average price per mile | Sample Distance | Sample Price |
---|---|---|---|
1-100 miles | $2.75 | 100 miles | $275 |
101-250 miles | $1.98 | 200 miles | $396 |
251-500 miles | $1.45 | 300 miles | $435 |
501-1,000 miles | $1.10 | 500 miles | $550 |
1,001-2,000 miles | $0.78 | 1,250 miles | $975 |
2,001-3,000 miles | $0.58 | 2,250 miles | $1,305 |
The average prices per mile above reflect market conditions as of March 2023 for operable vehicles and sedans shipped with open transport. These prices include match fees and are subject to change depending on several elements, including pickup and delivery locations, the price of gas, and seasonal fluctuations.
