Seasonal Tips for This Route

I-15 runs from Salt Lake City through St. George and Las Vegas into Southern California, a short and direct lane by long-haul standards.

Mountain passes in Utah can see snow from November through March. A flexible pickup window lets the carrier work around winter storms.

If your car is at a ski-area address, give dispatch the exact location. Steep or narrow mountain roads may need a nearby meeting point for a full-size carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles?
Baier's rate card prices open transport on this 690-mile lane at about $700 to $875 for a standard sedan and $925 to $1,200 for a pickup truck, for a running vehicle with a flexible pickup date. Enclosed transport adds 40 to 60 percent, and short-notice or exact-date pickups add a surcharge. Dispatch confirms the final price before booking.
How long does car shipping from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles take?
Plan on 3 days once the car is loaded. Baier calculates transit at 400 to 500 miles of driving per day plus half a day each to load and unload, which puts this 690-mile lane at 3 days. When pickup happens depends on matching your car with a carrier heading southwest, and flexible dates make that faster.
Will a Baier truck carry my car from Salt Lake City?
Baier runs about half of its loads on its own trucks and half with vetted partner carriers. Baier's own trucks are based in New England, so on a Salt Lake City pickup it books a vetted partner carrier with active FMCSA authority on the lane and stays your point of contact.
Why is Utah to California cheaper than other West Coast lanes on this site?
Distance drives the price. At about 690 miles this lane falls in a shorter distance band in Baier's rate card than cross-country moves, so the range is well under the coast-to-coast lanes.
