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.
Pickups in Philadelphia typically happen within 2 to 4 days. The challenge is similar to other dense Northeast cities. Carriers prefer to pick up from the suburbs, South Jersey, Delaware County, or the Route 1 corridor rather than navigating city streets with a full hauler. If your car is in the city proper we will usually coordinate a meetup just outside. If you are in the suburbs it is smooth and typically closer to the 2 day end of the range. The I-95 corridor is one of the most active in the country and Philadelphia sits right in the middle of it.
San Diego is a strong and active auto transport market with some unique advantages. I-5 runs straight through the city connecting it to Los Angeles 120 miles north and to the Mexican border at San Ysidro. I-15 heads inland and north toward Riverside and Las Vegas. Carriers running the LA to San Diego corridor are constant because there is always demand in both directions. Auction activity is real here. Manheim San Diego operates out of Oceanside at the north end of the county. ADESA San Diego is located near the border in Otay Ranch. Copart and IAA both have San Diego locations as well. Add in the military presence from Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, and NAS Coronado and you have a steady drumbeat of military relocation shipments year round. This is a solid, dependable market.
Deliveries to San Diego are generally smooth. Carriers on I-5 from the north have a natural endpoint here, and many load up in LA to fill the last slots with San Diego cars. Neighborhoods with wide streets and good access are easiest. If you are in downtown or near the Gaslamp Quarter, carriers may ask to deliver nearby rather than navigate the parking situation. Hillcrest and North Park are manageable. The North County cities like Escondido, Vista, and Oceanside are easy delivers and often match up with carrier routes heading back north.
Shipping a standard sedan from Philadelphia to San Diego on open carrier currently estimates between $1475 and $1775. That is based on the 2,889-mile distance and current market conditions.
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.
San Diego runs close to the national average on most routes. The LA to San Diego lane is one of the most competitive short hauls in the country because carriers are constantly running it. Longer routes like San Diego to Phoenix, Las Vegas, or the Pacific Northwest are very active and priced well. Routes to the Midwest or East Coast price similarly to LA because carriers use I-5 or I-40 to get there and San Diego is a natural first or last stop. Military PCS season in the spring and summer can push prices up slightly as demand spikes. Get a quote to see your exact price.
