What it costs to ship a car from New York to Michigan
Because AHX pickups on this route range from Long Island to Buffalo, where your vehicle starts changes the price. The table shows the example city pair; the estimator prices your exact addresses.
To read the table: pick sedan, SUV or pickup truck, then compare Standard pickup with Flexible pickup. Flexible is lower if your pickup date can flex. Enclosed sedan is the rate for an enclosed trailer.
What else changes the price:
- Vehicle type. Sedan, SUV and pickup truck rates are listed separately.
- Open or enclosed. Enclosed costs more.
- Running condition. An inoperable vehicle costs more to load.
- Pickup flexibility. Flexible lowers the rate.
- Vehicle count. Several vehicles are priced as one load, which can cost less than the single-vehicle rate times the count.
The table is refreshed weekly; the Updated date shows when the rates were last pulled. For anything the table does not cover, such as a specific street address, the estimator gives a market estimate for that shipment.

How shipping on AHX works
You post the shipment at the rate you choose. Vetted carriers can instant-book it at that rate or send a counteroffer, and you decide whether to accept. Every carrier on AHX is verified for a DOT number, insurance and operating authority before it can book.
Once a carrier books, you get real-time tracking from pickup to delivery. AHX charges a transparent platform fee, a percentage of the carrier rate, added on top of that rate and applied only after the shipment successfully delivers. There is no undisclosed broker markup hidden inside the price.
