California Car Shipping Company

How much does car shipping California cost?

Several variables control the final cost to ship a car to or from California. Vehicle make and model, together with the distance set the base price. Then the choice of car carrier type is added to the equation. Shipping a non-running car drives the price up due to additional equipment.

Vehicle make and model

Smaller cars are cheaper to ship, while bigger, heavier vehicles are more expensive. Car shipping California cost will reflect that.

Transport Type

Open auto transport is the standard shipping method. It is used for all vehicle types and it is less expensive. Enclosed car carrier to California costs more.

Distance

The longer the distance the less it costs per mile. Shorter distances does not always mean lower cost. Distance is a base factor.

Location

Auto transport to and from rural areas is a more complex and economically challenging. It costs more than shipping to metro area.

Vehicle Condition

To ship a non-running vehicle we need a truck that can winch it onto the trailer. This requires more work, more time and additional equipment.

Supply / Demand

When demand is high the truck space is limited and this means prices increase. That is why a quote is good for one week only.

California car shipping company fair prices

Distance and make and model set the base price to ship a car.

A fair market rate is positioned in the middle of the price spectrum – between the highest and the lowest prices.

Supply and demand fluctuation is another major factor that contributes to price hikes or drops.

Expedited auto transport is a premium service and costs more. If you need your vehicle picked-up or delivered on or by an exact date then this is your option.

Enclosed auto transport is a preferred method of shipping high-end automobiles.

Top load means loading a vehicle on the top deck of the transport trailer. This ensures against possible leaks from other vehicles and flying road.

A correctly quoted rate is a fair market price that will ship a car now.

Looking for a logistics company, to ship my car, from California to Illinois,my first search, then Corsia showed up, skeptical. Call and a very friendly secretary: Elena. She guided me through, I scheduled and as she explained, all when smooth as scheduled Very happy I did the right choice. I'll recommend this great Company to anyone that is thinking to relocate a vehicle. Thanks Corsia logistics for your honesty and professionalism!

Corsia was highly recommended by a friend in the automobile industry. We needed to transport a cargo van from Seattle to Florida. We contacted Corsia who quickly arranged transport within just a few days. Communication was outstanding! Just a few email confirmations and we were all set. Mike was great and arrived right on time and delivered to Florida on schedule. Tip-avoid the hornets nest of auto brokers on line and just contact Corsia for a truly great experience!

Corsia has been amazing. Their prices are really competitive but more importantly their customer service has been 5-Star. Elena followed up with me every step of the way, making sure there was no miscommunication between me & the driver. We are using them to ship a 2nd vehicle & would not hesitate to use them again!

Corsia rep (Elena) was very proactive. Helped ship a car from CA to GA. She checked in with me via email quote and several phone calls to find me the best possible quote for the fastest available service. After several communications, Corsia was able to schedule a vehicle pickup the next day. The driver communicated well, and the vehicle arrived in final destination faster than we expected in perfect condition. I highly recommend using Corsia's reliable, efficient service.

Clean, efficient, wonderful

Thanks, Corsia! Pickup was so clean, efficient, and wonderful -- my only recommendation is to make sure you schedule it during the day so you can fully review the car in the daylight. Drop off was equally wonderful, and the whole trip went down without a hitch (pun intended!). Seriously, Corsia delivered my Jeep from CT to California with no issues or bumps in the road!

Truly positive experience

Corsia Memphis to LA, mid-size SUV. I looked at 4 different companies amd Corsia was the most responsive of them. While being responsive, they were not unduly aggressive: when I indicated that I need to wait a month before making a decision they stopped contacting me and only came back with a reminder when I really needed it. Once I decided to engage Corsia they found me a transport within two days and the car was delivered (from Memphis to LA) in another two days. I had a truly positive experience.

Working with Corsia Logistics was a great experience. Working with Corsia Logistics was wonderful. They were able to find a driver right away to transport our car. They were in constant communication as to when the car was getting picked up and dropped off. The driver also communicated with me as to when he would arrive. I would highly recommend Corsia Logistics.

Excellent Organization

Corsia was an excellent company to work with while I transferred my car across the US. A friend of mine suggested I use them as they had been very organized and trustworthy with her own car. I researched a few different place but decided to go with Corsia and I'm so glad I did! Any questions I had throughout the process they answered quickly and clearly. I would definitely use them again in the future and recommend them for others to use.

Tips for moving to California

California is more than just beaches and lattes! California has the perfect weather, which is what draws thousands of people every years, and millions of tourists.  But that is not all. There are vast redwood forests, vast deserts, and vast mountain ranges. With a total area of 163,696 square miles, you’ll need a car to get around. Moving your car when relocating is easy.

Economy

California’s economy is the largest in the nation, which means there are plenty of economic opportunities. It’s also very diverse and the state could have just about any kind of job you’re looking for. The cost of living in California is very high, however. The state is the third-highest cost of living in the nation, after New York and Hawaii. Many people move to California just to attend some of the best state institutions of higher education such as University of Southern California or Stanford.

Climate conscious 

Going green in California is much easier than doing so in some other states. We can probably get at least some of our electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind turbines. Whether that is the best way to go forward, and whether we are ready to go fully green we are about to see. Despite everything we love, California remains one of the most expensive states in the country. Thousands of people are actually moving out, and the trends continues in 2023. It is a personal choice, but also a matter of affordability.
