From California Car Shipping

When shipping a from California, the closer your pick-up and delivery locations are to I-5, the faster and cheaper your transport will be as the I-5 freeway is your go-to route, every time. As the main trucking artery in the state, it handles the majority of auto transport for us.

I-5 California

The most convenient locations along I-5 are Sacramento in the north and Los Angeles in the south, including any city in between. San Diego, although a viable option, can sometimes result in slightly higher costs and longer transport times due to its southernmost position on I-5.

CA-99

Another favorable shipping route in California is CA-99, which runs parallel to I-5 but slightly east. Key cities along CA-99 include Chico in the north, Yuba City, Modesto, Fresno, and Bakersfield in the south. These locations are also considered friendly for car shipping.

San Jose and the cities along US-101

San Jose and the cities along US-101, down to Los Angeles, are also convenient shipping locations in California. However, there are challenging areas for car shipping within the state.

San Francisco

San Francisco, for example, is not the most difficult even though it's very populated. This is largely in part due to the city's toll bridges, super expensive gas prices, and many restricted streets make it an very costly and a time-consuming destination. Consequently, it's safe to say shipping to or from San Francisco typically comes at a premium beaause of all the hassle carriers have to deal with to maneuver around.

California Coastline

The most difficult locations for car shipping are those along CA-1, the coastline, and US-101 north of San Francisco, as well as areas within California's vast forested and mountainous regions. Remote locations, particularly north of Chico and away from I-5, also pose significant challenges.

Other Bay Area Cities

In contrast, other cities such as Oakland, San Leandro, and Fremont are far  less problematic for car carriers due to the absence of toll bridges and fewer road restrictions.

The California Forrest and Mountain Areas

Inaccessible areas, such as those deep in forests, high in the mountains, or on restricted streets in San Francisco, may require meeting the driver at a nearby major highway or interstate.

Fuel Costs

Another challenging aspect of car shipping in California is the high cost of gas, which is consistently among the highest in the nation. Carriers must pass these increased costs to consumers, making auto transports in and out of California more expensive.

To New York Car Shipping

When shipping a car to New York, the cost and duration of the transport can vary based on three primary regions: the New York City metropolitan area, the suburbs just outside the city, and Upstate New York.

New York City Metropolitan Area

This region includes the five boroughs (The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island) and Long Island. Shipping a car to or from this area typically incurs higher costs due to the challenges of navigating such a densely populated and congested region. However, because many carriers operate extensively in this area, the shipping process can often be faster despite the logistical difficulties.

Suburbs Outside New York City

Cities like White Plains, Yonkers, and Rye, located just outside the NYC metropolitan area, offer a sweet spot for car shipping. These areas are advantageous because they allow carriers to avoid the intense traffic and high tolls of the city while still being in close proximity to major routes. This can result in more efficient and cost-effective transport.

Upstate New York

The rest of the state, known as Upstate New York, includes several subregions: Western New York, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, Central New York, North Country, Mohawk Valley, Capital District, and Hudson Valley. Each subregion has its own pros and cons for car shipping

Other Areas of New York State

Western New York Includes cities like Buffalo and Rochester areas, situated along major interstates, are relatively easy and economical for car shipping.

Finger Lakes and Southern Tier offer picturesque routes but can vary in terms of accessibility and cost. Cities like Syracuse in Central New York are well-connected by interstates, making shipping straightforward. North Country is more remote and can be challenging due to its distance from major highways.

Albany, the state capital, is well-connected and typically offers smoother shipping logistics.  The Hudson Valley has partsthat are easier to navigate, however, the southern areas from Poughkeepsie to just north of White Plains can be more challenging and potentially leading to higher costs and longer shipping times.
