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.
Philadelphia is a major auto transport market with access to some of the busiest carrier corridors in the Northeast. I-95 runs right through the city connecting it to New York to the north and Baltimore, Washington DC, and the South to the south. I-76 connects west toward Pittsburgh and eventually the Midwest. The Philadelphia metro has solid dealer density and Manheim Philadelphia is one of the largest auto auctions in the Northeast, drawing significant carrier traffic to the region. Port of Philadelphia handles some vehicle movement as well. This is a well serviced market.
Delivering to Philadelphia is active. Carriers on I-95 running between New York and DC pass through regularly and Philadelphia is a natural waypoint. Manheim Philadelphia is a consistent draw for carrier traffic in the region. Deliveries from the South and Midwest come through I-76 and I-95 and are well established. The same suburban preference applies on delivery, so plan for a meetup near an accessible location if you are in the city center.
Shipping a standard sedan from Los Angeles to Philadelphia on open carrier currently estimates between $1475 and $1775. That is based on the 2,914-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.
Philadelphia runs slightly above the national average. Northeast operating costs, tolls, and density all factor in. The I-95 corridor to DC and New York is competitive. Routes to Florida and the Southeast are active snowbird lanes from fall through spring. Routes to Texas and the Midwest are well established. Overall you are paying a modest premium for being in a dense Northeast metro but it is not dramatic. Get a quote to see your specific number.
