San Jose sits at the south end of the Bay Area and draws from the same carrier pool as San Francisco and Oakland. US-101 and I-880 are the main arteries connecting San Jose to the rest of the Bay, and I-280 offers another route up the Peninsula. Carriers that work the Bay Area do not separate San Jose from Oakland or San Francisco in their minds. It is all one market. ADESA San Jose is on Tully Road and IAA has a San Jose facility as well. Manheim serves the Bay Area out of its Hayward location, which is easy distance from San Jose. The tech industry here drives consistent relocation traffic, both individuals moving in for new jobs and companies relocating employee vehicles. This is a high volume, dependable market.
Pickups in San Jose typically happen within 2 to 4 days. The South Bay has good street access compared to San Francisco proper.

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 San Jose to Raleigh on open carrier currently estimates between $1475 and $1775. That is based on the 2,906-mile distance and current market conditions.

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.
