Shipping a Hyundai Genesis
What you need to know about transporting your Hyundai
The Hyundai Genesis was first introduced in 2007 at the New York International Auto Show; sales of the new model began in 2008. It is classified as a luxury sedan, though Hyundai prefers the term "luxury sports car;" currently available in two models, the 3.8 and the 5.0, the Genesis starts at $38,000 MSRP and only goes up from there. The 3.8 features a 3.8L V6 engine capable of 311-hp, 18" premium alloy wheels, dual power-folding side mirrors with LED turn indicators, dual automatic temperature

Best Way to Ship a Hyundai Genesis
Our recommendation based on vehicle type, value, and industry experience
Open Auto Transport
For the Hyundai Genesis, open auto transport is the go-to choice. It is the most common, most available, and most affordable method of shipping a vehicle in the United States. Your Hyundai will ride on a standard open carrier alongside other vehicles — the same way dealerships move thousands of cars every single day. It is safe, it is efficient, and it gets the job done.

Alternative: Enclosed Auto Transport
If your Hyundai Genesis has been modified, restored, or holds special value to you, enclosed transport is also an option. It costs more, but it provides full protection from the elements and road debris.
Hyundai Genesis Shipping Costs
What affects the price of shipping your vehicle
The cost to ship a Hyundai Genesis depends on a handful of real-world factors. There is no single flat rate — every shipment is different. Here is what moves the needle on pricing:
Distance
Longer routes cost more in total, but the per-mile rate drops on long shipments: our published formula charges less per mile past 500, 1,000 and 2,000 miles. The shipping cost estimator shows the range for your Genesis's route.
Transport Type
Open transport is the most affordable option for the Hyundai Genesis. If you want the added protection of enclosed, expect to pay 40% to 60% more.
Vehicle Size & Weight
The Hyundai Genesis takes up a specific amount of space on the carrier. Larger, heavier vehicles cost more to ship because they reduce the number of vehicles a carrier can haul in a single trip.
Season & Demand
Summer and the snowbird runs (south in October and November, north in April and May) are the busy periods. Shipping your Hyundai in December, January or September usually costs less.
Pickup & Delivery Location
Major metro areas have more carriers running routes, which keeps pricing competitive. A rural pickup or delivery adds about 10% in our published formula for your Genesis.
Condition
If your Hyundai Genesis is not running, you will need a carrier with a winch or special equipment to load it. Our published formula adds 20% for a non-running vehicle.

How to Prepare Your Hyundai Genesis for Shipping
A few simple steps to make sure everything goes smoothly
Getting your Hyundai Genesis ready for transport is straightforward, but do not skip these steps. A little prep goes a long way toward making sure your vehicle arrives in the same condition it left.
- 1
Wash your vehicle
Give your Hyundai Genesis a good wash before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. Document everything with photos — close-ups of any scratches, dents, or chips.
- 2
Remove personal belongings
Carriers are not licensed to transport household goods. Remove everything from the interior and trunk of your Genesis. Personal items are not covered by carrier insurance if something goes missing.
- 3
Check fluids and battery
Make sure your Hyundai Genesis starts and runs. The carrier needs to drive it on and off the trailer. Check that the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, and there are no major fluid leaks.
- 4
Disable alarms and toll transponders
Turn off any aftermarket alarm systems. Remove or deactivate toll transponders like E-ZPass so you do not rack up charges while your Hyundai is on the carrier.
- 5
Keep fuel low
A quarter tank of gas is plenty. Extra fuel adds weight, which costs more to transport. The carrier only needs enough to load and unload your Genesis.
- 6
Note existing damage
Walk around your Hyundai Genesis with the driver during the pre-transport inspection. Both you and the driver should sign off on the condition report. This protects you if any damage occurs during transit.
Hyundai Genesis Shipping FAQs
The cost to ship a Hyundai Genesis depends first on distance, then on vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, the season and the pickup and delivery locations. The shipping cost estimator shows the current range for your route from our published formula, and the licensed companies that make offers set the final price.
Open auto transport is the best choice for most Hyundai Genesis owners. It is the most affordable and widely available method. Enclosed transport is available if your Genesis has been modified, restored, or holds special value.
Wash your Hyundai Genesis so existing damage is visible, remove all personal belongings, keep the fuel tank at about a quarter full, ensure the battery is charged and tires inflated, disable aftermarket alarms, and document any existing damage with photos before pickup.
