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.
Chicago is the crossroads of American auto transport. Four major interstates converge here. I-90 and I-94 run east to west. I-55 drops south toward St. Louis. I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the country running straight across the middle of the US. Manheim Chicago is one of the largest and most active auto auctions in the Midwest. The dealer market across the metro and suburbs is deep. Carriers are always moving through Chicago because there is always another load waiting for them.
Chicago is a strong delivery market. Carriers on I-80 from the coasts, I-55 from Dallas and the south, and I-90 from the northeast are all natural fits for dropping cars off here. Deliver to the suburbs and it is simple. Deliver to downtown Chicago proper and it is manageable but expect the carrier to request a meetup point rather than pulling a full hauler through the Loop.
Shipping a standard sedan from Philadelphia to Chicago on open carrier currently estimates between $550 and $850. That is based on the 810-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.
Chicago runs right around the national average on most routes. Summer is busiest and prices edge up a little. Winter sees slightly more variability because of the weather factor. Routes to and from the South, Texas, and Florida are very active and competitively priced. Long haul routes to the West Coast are solid because carriers on I-80 fill up in both directions.
