**Enclosed transport:** roughly $950 to $2,450 or more, typically about 50% more than open, and recommended for luxury, classic, or exotic cars. Enclosed car transport explained
**Larger vehicles:** SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks weigh more and take up more trailer space, typically adding $100 to $200 over standard sedan pricing.
**Non-running vehicles:** a car that doesn't start or drive typically adds $150 to $300 for the winch equipment needed to load and unload it. Shipping a car that doesn't run
When to Ship
Prices spike during the late spring and early summer peak moving seasons, and again in the late autumn snowbird season, when carriers see higher regional demand. Shipping outside those two windows, with a flexible pickup window, is the best way to keep the cost down. How car shipping works, step by step
Delivery in New York City
Shipping into the New York City boroughs, like Manhattan or Brooklyn, frequently costs slightly more because of tight streets, bridge tolls, and low clearance restrictions. Drivers often ask to meet in a nearby, spacious shopping center lot to unload safely, so give your exact delivery address when you request a quote.
Driving It Yourself
At roughly 1,550 to 1,830 miles, the drive takes about 23 to 29 hours of non-stop driving depending on where in Texas you start, and most travelers break it into 3 to 4 days, typically using corridors like I-40, I-81, I-78, or I-10. Between fuel, several nights of hotels, meals, and the wear on the car, shipping is often the same cost or less, especially if you're moving two vehicles. If you'd have to fly back after delivering a car to someone else, the return flight usually tips the cost toward shipping as well. Is it cheaper to ship or drive?
