About the Port of Long Beach

The Port of Long Beach is located in California, just a short distance south of Los Angeles. The port is the second busiest in the US. It is convenient for car carriers as it is big – it occupies 3,200 acres. As it is located along the Pacific coast, it serves as a major trade gateway between Asia and the US. We often use to ship cars between the US and Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Distance - We ship cars to or from this port to any part of the country. But, the larger the distance between the port and the pickup or delivery location, the higher the car transport rate.

Shipping method - The shipping methods are enclosed truck and open truck. The latter is cheaper but exposes the vehicle to harm from road debris and harsh weather.
