A pickup in San Diego is shaped mostly by the city’s rule on where heavy trucks may stop, which is short and clear. Once the car is loaded it leaves the way everything leaves this corner of the country, north on I-5 or I-15, or east on I-8 across the mountains and the desert until it meets I-10 in Arizona.
Often it can, for as long as loading takes. The city doesn’t let a heavy truck park in a residential area, but it makes an exception while the truck is loading or unloading, so the driver can pull up, put your car on and go, but can’t wait outside your house. That’s why it helps to have the car and keys ready at the pickup time, since the stop is meant to be a short one.
South of downtown, in Barrio Logan and the neighborhoods around it, some streets are closed to heavy trucks altogether, and the city publishes a map of which ones. If you live on one of them, the car gets loaded around the corner, on a street the truck is allowed to use.

Shipping a car from San Diego typically costs $0.70 to $1.25 per mile, depending on distance and destination. That works out to $1,200 to $1,500 to Denver, $1,900 to $2,250 to Chicago.
Most shipments out of San Diego take 3 to 8 days door to door. Denver and Texas usually run 3 to 5 days, Chicago and Atlanta 4 to 7, and Miami and New York 5 to 8. Those are estimates, because the arrival day depends on the other cars the driver is carrying.
San Diego to New York is 2,766 miles and quotes $1,800 to $2,150 for open transport, with an estimated 5 to 8 days door to door. It's coast to coast, so the car spends close to a week on the truck, and in winter the mountain crossings in between can move the delivery date.
If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
