Los Angeles is one of the biggest auto transport markets in the world, not just the country. The Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach together are the largest vehicle import gateways in North America. Carriers run in and out of this market constantly. There are multiple Manheim locations across the metro including Manheim Los Angeles and Manheim Southern California, plus ADESA and dozens of independent auction locations. The dealer density across LA, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Fernando Valley is massive. If you are shipping to or from anywhere in the greater LA area, carriers have plenty of reasons to be here.
Pickups in LA typically happen within 1 to 3 days. The metro is so large that pickup location matters. Carriers generally prefer Inland Empire staging areas, San Fernando Valley, or the South Bay over deep Hollywood or West LA because of traffic and access. That said we move cars from all over the metro regularly. If you are flexible on pickup timing by even a day or two it helps us match you with a carrier already running your direction. Give us your zip code when you quote and we will give you a real timeframe.
New York is one of the highest volume auto transport markets in the country. We move cars in and out of the metro constantly. The challenge here is not finding a carrier. It is navigating the logistics. The metro has three major vehicle import terminals through Port Newark and Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, and there are large Manheim and ADESA auction locations that keep carrier traffic flowing through the area year round. Dealership density is extremely high across the five boroughs and into Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Volume is not the problem. Access is.
Delivering to New York has the same street access issue. Most carriers will bring your car to within a few miles of your destination and meet you rather than attempting to drive a full car hauler through city streets. This is completely normal and expected. If you are in the outer boroughs or suburbs delivery is straightforward. Plan for a short drive to meet your carrier. It is not a big deal, just something to know ahead of time.
Shipping a standard sedan from Los Angeles to New York on open carrier currently estimates between $1525 and $1825. That is based on the 2,984-mile distance and current market conditions.
LA usually runs at or slightly below the national average on cost per mile, especially on popular lanes like LA to Phoenix, LA to Las Vegas, and LA to the Bay Area. Where costs go up is on long haul routes back to the Midwest or Southeast because carriers need to fill their truck heading home. Summer sees elevated prices as people relocate. January through March is often the best time to ship if cost is the priority. Get a quote for your specific route.
New York is not cheap. Prices run 10 to 20 percent above the national average. Part of that is the access premium because carriers deal with tolls, traffic, and tight streets. Part of it is just demand. There is enormous competition for slots on cars moving to and from New York. Winter can slow things down slightly when carriers prefer warmer routes, and summer sees elevated demand from people relocating. But overall this is a year round active market.
