How much do car transport companies charge?

Car shipping costs are based on several factors, including current market trends, carrier availability and fuel prices. Your total cost will also depend on the type of car you want to move, where it needs to go, its condition (operable or inoperable), whether you choose open or enclosed trailer, and finally, the time of year when you book.
