Shipping a Car From New York to Los Angeles

How much does it cost to ship a car from New York to Los Angeles?

Several variables decide the final cost. Vehicle make and model, together with the distance set the base price for shipping. Then the choice of carrier type enters the equation.

Shipping a non-running car drives the price up due to additional equipment. Remote areas of the country also cost more. However, current supply and demand decides the final price.

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!

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.

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!

I have recently used Corsia for long time family car with sentimental value that was moved I have recently used Corsia for shipment of my vehicle from Oregon to Arizona by recommendation from other family member who also used Corsia in the past. I am very pleased on the service and the communication throughout shipment. Ken was my direct contact and kept me informed along the move The car was picked up and delivered as communicated.

New York to Los Angeles Car Shipping Services

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-air trailer. 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. Delivery, in this case from New York to Los Angeles, would be 7-10 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?

When shipping a car from New York to Los Angeles , you or someone on your behalf has to 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 that all existing damages are marked before you sign. Never sign a blank or incomplete document.

 

Moving from New York to Los Angeles

Los Angeles

Moving out of state is not the most pleasant experience. However, just the thought that you are moving to California must be warming your heart! West coast is a very different place than the east coast.

The pace of life is slower on the west coast, the sun is shining every day and the roads are wider, and free. This really gives you a sense of freedom. Not everything is perfect, but no place on the planet is ever perfect.

Moving to California will definitely change your perception of life. Los Angeles is very different than New York. The sheer vastness of it affects your state of mind. Then the climate affects you as well. The weather is usually the best thing, and the sole reason for many people to relocate to California.

From East to West coast

People often dream about leaving their busy New York lifestyle behind and start a new life in Los Angeles — the city of Angels. Hundreds of people are moving to the La La Land every day and consequently increasing its population density. Currently, the population in L.A. is approaching the 4 million mark, and the city is the second most populous in the United States.

The weather will be a big plus for you if you’ve had enough of New York’s humid subtropical/continental climate with freezing cold winters. Los Angeles doesn’t have any well-defined seasons. Its climate consists of a repeated pattern of warm days, cool nights, and a few rainy days.

Economy and employment

Home to Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, and six Fortune 500 companies, the city’s economy is one of the most competitive ones in the US. According to the Global Financial Centres Index, Los Angeles was among the sixth most competitive financial centers in the US in 2017. The entertainment industry, technology, aerospace, tourism, international trade, law, fashion, finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation are some of the key industries that keep L.A.’s economic engine up and running.

Even though the city is world famous for its celebrity stars and Hollywood — the home of the US film industry, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to find a job in the entertainment industry. The city’s economy offers various industries where you can apply for any open position.

Housing and living costs

The Los Angeles County is made up of 16 neighborhoods you can pick from, be it the Atwater Village, Beverly Grove, Burbank, Culver City, Downtown, Echo Park, Westwood, Beverlywood, Cheviot Hills, or Beverly Hills. Since you will move from New York, one of the most expensive cities in the US, housing and living costs in Los Angeles will not seem as expensive.

In comparison to New York, the living costs in East Los Angeles are 27% less expensive, while the median home cost is 34% cheaper than in New York.

Things to see in L.A. once you settle

The breathtaking nature of Los Angeles is one you should enjoy to the fullest as soon as you get the chance. If you also love outdoor activities, LA never stops offering new things to explore with each passing day. Visit the Hollywood sign, Disneyland, Runyon Canyon Park, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Santa Monica Pier, Museum of Art, Dolby Theatre, Griffith Park, and Madame Tussauds Hollywood, and other top sights.

Moreover, if you prefer to camp, hike, walk, surf, barbecue, and so on, feel free to do so as well. LA’s great weather will be your greatest cheerleader, no matter what you decide to do with your free time.

Taking your car is a must

According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, you will have to register your car within the first 20 days of your move. And then you have to obtain a California driver’s license within the first 10 days. In order to get your vehicle registered, you also need to hold a valid car insurance.

Moving to from New York to Los Angeles is well worth it even if it is only for the sunny days. The climate is definitely amazing and many people would never trade it for the east coast.
