What is the cheapest way to shipping a small car? Shipping a small car via open transport (open trailer) would be cheaper than shipping using an enclosed transport, but it would be higher rate than a drive away. If you have a small sedan or a two-door car coupe, it would be cheaper than shipping larger vehicles.

 Shipping a small car via open transport, the estimate cost would be $0.40 – $0.50 cents per mile not including the broker fee. It also depends on the distance and season, since shorter distances can cost $1.00 or more per mile.
