What's the average cost to ship a sedan?

A standard sedan on open transport typically costs several hundred dollars for short trips and a little over $1,000 on long cross-country routes. Your route and dates move the price.

How much more does an SUV or pickup cost?

SUVs usually cost about 10% to 25% more than a sedan, and full-size pickups about 20% to 35% more, because they take more space and weight on the trailer.

Why are averages shown as ranges?

Prices for the same distance vary with season, route popularity and pickup location. Ranges show where most shipments fall.

Is an estimate the same as a quote?

No. Estimates help you plan and compare. A quote is a company's offer for your specific shipment, and the price is only confirmed once a carrier accepts it.
