Moving can be a stressful process, but it’s also an exciting opportunity! Unfortunately, car shipping is an expensive process, so it will likely cost between $1,110 to $1,450 for you to ship your car from California to Virginia. That being said, the cost will depend on these factors.
- Type and size of the vehicle: The bigger the vehicle, the more expensive it will be to ship.
- Shipping speed: Faster shipping will typically cost more.
- Gas prices: An increase in the cost of fuel will likely increase the cost of shipping.
- Time of year: Shipping during the holiday season may be more expensive than other times.
- The destination: The further the destination is, the more expensive it will be to ship the car.
While some of these factors are non-negotiable, you can find a more affordable price by opting for a slower shipping speed or waiting until after the holidays to have it shipped. But shipping cars will always be a pricey service—so be prepared for some high costs.
