How to Save Money When Shipping Your Car Long Distance

Corja & Blog

Shipping a car long distance doesn’t have to break the bank. With the right planning and choices, you can get your vehicle where it needs to go while keeping costs under control. At Corja Auto Hauling, we’ve helped thousands of customers find the balance between affordability and reliable service.


1. Be Flexible with Pickup and Delivery Dates

If you can give your carrier a window of time for pickup and delivery, it’s easier to fit your vehicle into an existing route—often at a better price.


2. Choose Open Transport

Open carriers can haul up to nine cars at a time, sharing fuel and labor costs between multiple customers. This makes it far more affordable than enclosed transport.


3. Avoid Last-Minute Bookings

Planning ahead means better rates. Last-minute shipping often comes at a premium because it requires special routing or rearranging schedules.


4. Ship During Off-Peak Seasons

Rates are typically lower in late winter and early fall when demand drops. Avoid the summer rush and peak snowbird months if possible.


5. Work Directly with a Carrier

Brokers add fees for arranging your shipment. By booking directly with Corja Auto Hauling, you pay only for the transport—not a middleman’s markup.


6. Consolidate Vehicle Moves

If you’re moving more than one car, shipping them together is almost always cheaper than separate trips.


Saving money on long-distance car shipping is all about timing, flexibility, and working with a trusted carrier. Corja Auto Hauling offers transparent pricing, reliable nationwide routes, and fully insured open transport so you can ship with confidence and keep your budget in check.
