Shipping a car from California to South Carolina

How much does it cost to ship a car from California to South Carolina?


Several variables affect cost to ship a car from California to South Carolina. Vehicle make and model, together with the distance set the base price for shipping.

Corsia Logistics - A Five Star Rated Company

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.

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!

Cay Liptak

High five's all around! 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 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.

Amy Nelson

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 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!

How long does it take to ship a car from California to South Carolina?

Shipping a car from California to South Carolina takes about 5 to 7 days. Various factors could affect the shipping times and this means that shipping time is always an estimate. Open auto transport is usually faster and cheaper due to high availability.

What services does CORSIA offer?

Corsia Logistics provides the following car shipping services:

by carrier type: open and enclosed trailer

by time frame: standard and expedited delivery

Choosing a carrier type really depends on the type of vehicle you need to ship. Standard everyday sedans, such as your Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla usually go on an open car carrier. If you need to ship a high-end sports or luxury automobile, or any classic vehicle you should choose enclosed trailer.

Standard car shipping means that a carrier will pick up your vehicle within few days. However, please keep in mind that all dates and times are only estimates.

Expedited delivery could guarantee that your car is picked up or delivered on or by a specified date and time.

Open auto transport is the standard solution. It is faster and cheaper. Open carriers are readily available and this makes them efficient and preferred by private customers and businesses alike.

Enclosed auto transport is a preferred solution for sports and high-end automobiles. It offers complete protection from weather and road elements. However, it could take a bit longer to book and schedule. It is more expensive as well.

Enclosed carrier transport

What documents do I need when shipping a car?

Domestic transport is easy. When shipping a car from California to South Carolina, you or someone on your behalf must release the vehicle to the carrier at pick-up.

The person at pick-up will also need to sign a Bill of Lading (BOL). The BOL is a receipt and an inspection report. When the carrier inspects the car you need to check with that all existing damages are marked before you sign. Never sign a blank or incomplete document.

From California to South Carolina

South Carolina

California has a well-developed infrastructure, education and entertainment industry. The west world is well presented and established in this popular state, yet many people are leaving it. And many choose Kansas for their new home.

California has the Golden Gate Bridge, the Arroyo Seco Parkway, and The Four Level Interchange as some of the engineering masterpieces aimed towards reliving California of its heavy traffic.

Los Angeles is heaven when it comes to spending quality free time. All parks, sports teams, and entertainment venues provide unique opportunities to both locals and tourists. The city also takes pride in a fine plethora of parks, enhanced by their view towards the Pacific Ocean.

Taking into account the fine weather, the great outdoor spaces, and the close proximity of a beach and an ocean, then one might understand why the people of L.A. love to spend time outside.

Los Angeles has a serious theatrical presence that can rival that on Broadway. Famous venues around town include Pantages Theater Hollywood, Royce Hall, and Dolby Theatre that host Broadway top-grossers and world-famous plays.

And with all this being said, we will have to accept that California has its faults, not that is not just the San Andreas Fault System.

Faults of the system in California

Like every huge city, Los Angeles has many shortcomings. Traffic and parking issues are common, but other issues are more specific.

Frequent earthquakes is one we all know of and have heard about for certainty. However, that is not all. The crime rate is also high, and has been rising since 2020 even more. The neighborhoods of Los Angeles are spread far away. Housing is expensive, food is expensive, and to list all, we have to just say that everything is more expensive in California.

The labor market is bloated, and people may often show attitudes due to fierce competition. The overall attitude and vibe in California often deviates from some common norms, to put it that way.

South Carolina hello!

Calm, not very populous, and sunny, South Carolina is located in the coastal southeastern region of the United States and has it all, alligators included! It has a population of just over 5 million. The state’s capital – Columbia, and the largest city – Charleston, are similar in stature, with a population of just over 130.000 and 150.000 respectively.

south carolina

South Carolina symbolizes the South – beautiful, warm, both nature and people. The cities are beautiful and historic, and it has Myrtle Beach.

This famous resort town attracts people from around the world because it offers a truly friendly vibe. It is a place where you can have a peaceful vacation and some party on the beach as well. The summer months are more crowded and hence more fun, which keeps the energy high.

South Carolina’s Economy

South Carolina has a large GDP, valued at about $249.9 billion, with some very well-developed textile goods, chemical products, paper products, machinery, automobiles, automotive products, and tourism. Michelin is by far the largest employer in the state with over 100.000 employees. Other large employers include Schaeffler Group, Cryovac, and Sonoco.

The housing market offers variety and stability. Housing is affordable and taxes a some of the lowest in the country.

Education is good

South Carolina has several high-profile universities with a very, very long history. The oldest one, the College of Charleston, was established all the way back in 1770. It currently has an enrollment of about 10.000 students. The largest one – University of South Carolina, has an enrollment of nearly 35.000, and the second-largest, Clemson University – about 25.000

Infrastructure is good

The state has the fourth largest state-maintained system in the country, consisting of 11 Interstates, numbered highways, state highways, and secondary roads, totaling approximately 41,500 miles.Maintenance and construction of new roads is continues.

Healthcare is good

Medical University Hospital in Charleston was again named the best hospital in South Carolina, according to U.S. News & World Report. Roper Hospital on Calhoun Street, named No. 6, and Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in West Ashley, which tied for No. 7 with an Upstate hospital, were the only other Charleston-area hospitals to make the annual list.

South Carolina has both a rich history and beautiful nature, and it attracts a lot of tourists all year round, especially in the summer. Be sure to check Charleston’s harbor, Greenville, Middleton Place, Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle beach, and any beach in general. They lack Florida’s crowds but are nonetheless fun and beautiful.

Disadvantages do exist

Sounds too good to be true? South Carolina has some disadvantages. First, some say there is too much construction on the roads and it cities, but that is a good thing in general. Hurricanes and floods could be a problem, and yes they are real, but not as frequent. Bugs and alligators surround you, unfortunately, but in most cases it all marked and secured, when it comes to alligators.

Los Angeles vs. Charleston

Apparently, we cannot compare these two in matters of population. However, David (aka Charleston) has numerous advantages over Goliath. Cheaper housing, an unemployment rate nearly twice as low, and higher-income are just a part of why many people move from California to South Carolina.
