The cost to ship a BMW.
Whether you own a BMW or another type of luxury automobile, the odds are that you chose that car for a reason. You probably value the level of performance and comfort afforded by a vehicle of its caliber, and, as such, you want to take steps to ensure it’s protected during shipping. This page will discuss the costs and options of shipping a BMW and why you may opt for one method over the other.
Enclosed is BMW Shipping.
Most luxury and performance cars are shipped in enclosed containers. Open-air transport is an option but risks exposure to elements, lousy weather, and debris from long highway trips.
Enclosed shipping offers maximum care and protection. While open carriers transport 6 to 12 cars, enclosed trucks carry only 2 to 4. Vehicles are fully covered throughout the trip, eliminating concerns about security, bad weather, and possible road debris damage during long shipments.

Door-to-door Car Shipping.
You might want to consider door-to-door transport when shipping a high-end or luxury vehicle. The advantage of using door-to-door shipping is that the car is delivered directly to its final destination. There is no layover at a shipping terminal and no storage required—it’s quite simply the most convenient way to ship a car and one that BMW owners tend to favor.
The key attraction to using door-to-door transport over shipping to a terminal is that it offers more protection and individualized care. There are typically fewer cars on a truck delivering door-to-door, generally because these types of shipments are made on smaller, enclosed carriers.
Other Factors That Affect BMW Shipping Prices.
Outside of the options listed above, the other main thing affecting the cost of shipping a BMW is the distance it’s being transported. This probably comes as no surprise since this holds true for all shipments, whether a care package or a vehicle.
