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.
Pickups in New York typically happen within 2 to 4 days. But here is what most people do not know. Carriers prefer to pick up from suburbs and outer areas rather than deep inside Manhattan or Brooklyn. If your car is in the city you should expect to coordinate a meetup at a nearby parking lot or side street. Carriers simply cannot maneuver a multi-car hauler through midtown. If you are in Queens, Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester, pickups are much smoother and usually faster. Let us know where the car is when you get your quote and we will tell you exactly what to expect.
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.
Delivering to LA is just as active. Carriers heading west are almost always looking for loads into the market, especially from Texas, Arizona, and the Pacific Northwest. Delivering to the Inland Empire or South Bay is the smoothest. Getting into central LA or West Hollywood can add a day just because of carrier routing preferences, but it gets done.
Shipping a standard sedan from New York to Los Angeles on open carrier currently estimates between $1525 and $1825. That is based on the 2,984-mile distance and current market conditions.
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.

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.
