Classic Car Shipping: Cost

Classic cars are in a category of their own when it comes to shipping. While many of the processes are the same as shipping any other type of car, there are certain things specific to transporting a classic. For one, owners of classic cars take the condition of their vehicle very seriously and it’s important that the shipper understand this.

While it may be fine to haul a Honda Accord accord on the back of an open-air multi-car carrier, it wouldn’t be as suitable for a 69’ Chevy Camaro. Since this is the case, it’s important to work with a shipper that has plenty of experience and expertise when it comes to moving classics.

Most customers that ship a classic car opt for services that may not be required (or necessary) for a daily driver. Using an enclosed carrier that completely protects the vehicle is one of these options and it goes a long way toward keeping a car free from dust and dings over the course of transport. It is highly recommended that you use an enclosed carrier when shipping any vehicle that has a higher value than normal, be it sentimental or otherwise.

If you’d like an estimate on the cost of shipping a classic car or muscle car, send us an email or call us with the type of car, location and destination. With just some basic information, we can quickly put together an accurately priced transport package to any location in the U.S. or abroad. For more information about shipping costs and what they cover, see the section below.

Door-to-door Shipping Prices For Classic Cars

Door-to-door - Door-to-door delivery is the most common service for transporting historic cars (as opposed to delivery to a terminal where the customer picks up the vehicle). When compared to larger transport trucks, smaller enclosed carriers have the advantage of being able to maneuver more easily in and out of congested areas. In addition to the ease of use, door-to-door delivery also provides full protection from start to finish.

Here are some prices for recent door-to-door shipments we’ve made for classic cars:

  • San Francisco, CA to Chicago, IL - $1,223
  • Miami, FL to Denver, CO - $1,297
  • Baltimore, MD to Dallas, TX - $864
  • Seattle, WA to Nashville, TN - $1,129
  • Atlanta, GA to Los Angeles, CA - $1,310
  • Detroit, MI to Tucson, AZ - $1,067
  • Denver, CO to Philadelphia, PA - $945

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
