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.
Raleigh is a solid and growing auto transport market. The Research Triangle is one of the fastest-growing relocation destinations in the country right now. Companies like IBM, Cisco, SAS, and a wave of biotech and pharma firms have been pulling professionals in from California, New York, and the Northeast for years. That means a steady stream of cars moving in and out. I-40 is the main artery connecting Raleigh west to Durham, Chapel Hill, and all the way to Asheville. I-85 gives carriers a direct shot up to Charlotte and the Virginia border. ADESA Raleigh services the market and Manheim North Carolina operates out of Kenly, about 50 miles east. The auction density is not Dallas-level but it is enough to keep carriers moving through consistently.
Receiving a car in Raleigh is straightforward. Carriers coming up from Charlotte on I-85, down from the DC area on I-95 and US-1, and in from the west on I-40 all pass through the Triangle naturally. The suburbs are easy for carrier access. If you need delivery to a dense neighborhood near downtown Raleigh, your carrier may want to hand off at a nearby parking lot. It is a quick and easy coordination, not a barrier.
Shipping a standard sedan from Los Angeles to Raleigh on open carrier currently estimates between $1375 and $1675. That is based on the 2,723-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.
Raleigh runs right around the national average on most routes, sometimes slightly above on lanes that do not have heavy carrier traffic in both directions. Routes to and from Charlotte, Atlanta, and the DC area are well-serviced and competitive. Long haul routes to Texas, the Midwest, or the West Coast cost a bit more simply because Raleigh is not a major hub. The relocation market helps keep prices fair though because there is consistent two-way demand. Get a quote to see your exact price.
