Car Transport Los Angeles

Los Angeles – often stylized as “L.A.” – is the largest city in California and the second-largest city in the U.S. by population. So it’s not a surprise that auto transport to Los Angeles is incredibly popular. It is a cultural and financial hub not just in the United States, but the entire world. Home to world-class museums, education centers, professional sports, financial institutions, not to mention thousands of miles of beautiful California coastline, there’s a little something for everyone in the city.

Home to over 13 million people in the city proper and over 18 million in the Greater Los Angeles Area, it’s not just the city itself that brings people to the region. Los Angeles is an “Alpha World City,” which means it’s a crucial node in the global financial network. So the city doesn’t just see interstate transportation – it also sees international transportation coming into and out of its ports. L.A. has the second-largest GDP of all cities in the world, behind only New York City. From megastars to billionaires to everyday folk trying to eke out a living, Los Angeles is truly a city that has something for everyone.

Car Shipping to Los Angeles with American Auto Shipping

If you’re looking for auto transport in California, we know all the ins and outs of shipping a vehicle to or from anywhere in the U.S., but especially Los Angeles. Why? Because it’s the largest city in the most popular state for auto transportation services.

Here at American Auto Shipping, we work hard to find quality auto transport carriers for all our customers. Many of them are based in Los Angeles or the greater Los Angeles area, and maintain hubs and terminals in the city. Not only that but many carriers, even those not based in L.A. proper, still serving the city.

This makes it relatively easy and affordable to find auto transport carriers to take loads into and out of Los Angeles, no matter where they’re coming from and going to. If you’re interested in auto transport Los Angeles, you’re in the right place.

The basics about car transport to Los Angeles

Auto transport to Los Angeles is one of the most popular search terms in our industry. So many cars are shipping into and out of Los Angeles and the Greater L.A. area that many auto shippers are headquartered in the city. It has numerous major interstate highways flowing through it, including Interstate 5, Interstate 10, Interstate 405, Interstate 210, as well as famous U.S. highways like U.S. 101.

I-5 connects the entire state of California with its northern neighbors, while I-10 runs clear from Los Angeles to Jacksonville, Florida. This allows auto transport carriers numerous ways to get into the Los Angeles area, keeping car shipping prices lower for most people.

Of course, the city proper gets chock full of traffic every single day, which can make it difficult for carriers to get around the city in a timely fashion. As a result, many carriers will coordinate alternate pickup and delivery locations for shipments into and out of Los Angeles itself. Don’t forget, carriers drive 80 foot-long transport trucks, so squeezing down narrow streets or even the wider streets of urban L.A. can be a challenge. Does this mean they can’t? Of course not. But it’s something that is inherent to the city, so don’t be surprised if you have to meet a carrier outside a big box store.

Prices for auto shipping to Los Angeles

You can expect lower prices per mile along major routes and faster pickup and delivery times across most routes in comparison to shipments to and from smaller areas. So many people move vehicles into and out of Los Angeles that carriers are constantly on numerous routes, of which there are plenty. Shipments to the southeast, the northeast, the northern and southern Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, there are lots of routes in and out of L.A.

More important than that, though, is the sheer number of people in the area. Carriers have to compete for loads thanks to brokers like us – brokers keep prices lower for customers by making carriers compete. This is a win-win for everyone but the carriers, who often have to run on razor-thin margins to keep their trucks full.

There are times, however, especially with Los Angeles, that so many people are shipping to or from the area that carriers don’t have to compete. This is when prices tend to skyrocket, and it often happens during the summer months, or during times of economic uncertainly.

These are, of course, dependent on a number of factors, and, even with those factors in place, auto transport to Los Angeles is still generally on the low end of car shipping prices. If you’re interested in cheap auto transport services to or from Los Angeles, read on to learn how we can help with that.

What to expect with auto transport to Los Angeles services

When it comes to services – not just prices, but what you can expect when you actually ship a vehicle – you should expect lower transit times and also lower wait times. With so many carriers on the road, and so many of those running routes to and from Los Angeles, it’s not hard to move vehicles on most routes. That is, so long as the price is right.

This is where accurate pricing comes into play. So long as your vehicle is priced correctly for the route, it should move quickly. Some of the fastest movement we see is to and from Los Angeles on major routes. These includes east-west and north-south routes, such as up and down the west coast, or across the southern United States.

Even shipments to more out-of-the-way places generally get dispatched and picked up more quickly. As such a major nexus for car shipping companies, Los Angeles is often the best place to move a vehicle out of, or at least on the west coast.

So, to recap, you can usually expect less time waiting for a carrier when shipping to or from Los Angeles, so long as your shipment is priced correctly. This is why it’s important to make sure you get quotes and compare prices and services of different shipping companies. We use an auto transport rate calculator that automatically updates based on over 500 points of real-time data to ensure that every quote we give for any shipment is accurate when given.

How to save on auto transport to Los Angeles

Though prices for shipping to and from Los Angeles are competitive, there’s always something you can do to help you save some money.

We offer multiple levels of service depending on how quickly you need your vehicle picked up. As such, there’s an option for everyone – but, sometimes, giving yourself options before you book your shipment can be a great way to save some money.

For instance, knowing you have to get your vehicle shipped in a few weeks, book your shipment now. Lock in the price and give us the time we need to find a carrier for you. This will protect you from price hikes and can also protect you from price drops, meaning you can potentially save even more money on your shipment!

Another way you can save money on your shipment – that is, if you have the ability to – is to choose when you move it. Winter prices are almost always lower than summer prices because there’s less demand for car transport services. This means that shipping during the wintertime often results in lower wait times for getting your car assigned to a carrier for pickup.

Yet another way to save on auto transport to Los Angeles is to be willing to meet your driver somewhere outside L.A. proper. Los Angeles can be a real bear for carriers to get around, and if they don’t have to deal with it they won’t. Oftentimes they’ll offer lower rates for customers who are shipping to the outskirts, especially in the direction your vehicle is coming from. These can all be great ways to save money on your shipment.
