What\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s the Cost to Ship a Car from New York to Seattle?
Several factors influence the cost of shipping a car across the country from New York to Seattle. We believe in transparency, so here's what goes into your quote:
Vehicle Type: Larger vehicles (trucks, SUVs) cost more than standard sedans due to size and weight.
Vehicle Condition: Operable vehicles are cheaper to ship than non-running vehicles, which require special equipment.
Transport Type: Open transport (like the carriers you see on the highway) is the standard and most economical option. Enclosed transport offers more protection from weather and road debris but comes at a higher price.
Location Specifics: Pick-up and delivery locations within the New York and Seattle metro areas can slightly impact cost based on accessibility for large transport trucks.
Seasonality: Demand fluctuates seasonally, which can affect pricing. Summer months and holidays often see higher demand.
While we aim to be competitive, our focus is on reliable service, not just being the lowest price. Remember, extremely low quotes often come with hidden fees or unreliable service. Typically, the cost to ship a car from NY to Seattle ranges from $x - $x, but get an instant quote on our website, or call us at (800) 656-7638 to get the current rate for your vehicle.

FAQ
Get answers to some of the most commonly asked questions
How long does shipping take from New York to Seattle?
While the driving time is significant, the total transit time for car shipping typically ranges from 7 to 14 days. This includes time for the carrier to complete their pickup/delivery schedule along the route. Factors like weather, traffic, and seasonality can influence the exact timing. We always provide an estimated transit time with your quote and keep you informed.
Is my vehicle insured during the transport?
Absolutely. Peace of mind is crucial. Your vehicle is covered by the carrier's cargo insurance from the moment it's picked up in New York until it's delivered in Seattle. We ensure all our partner carriers maintain the required insurance levels.
Can I pack personal belongings in my car?
Generally, regulations prohibit packing personal items in the vehicle during transport. Carriers are not licensed to transport household goods, and extra items are not covered by cargo insurance. Additionally, items can shift during transit, potentially causing damage, and add extra weight which can affect transport costs and safety. We strongly recommend shipping personal items separately.
How should I prepare my car for shipping?
Preparing your car is simple: Clean it inside and out (this helps with the inspection report), remove all personal belongings and valuables, ensure the gas tank is about 1/4 full (not empty, not full), check for any fluid leaks, and make sure the battery is charged. Note any existing damage with the driver during the pickup inspection.
