Seaside's vehicle shipping demand is driven by its location on the Monterey Peninsula and its strong ties to nearby cities like Monterey, Salinas, and Marina. Military relocations connected to the Defense Language Institute and Naval Postgraduate School bring consistent inbound and outbound vehicle shipments, while tourism, hospitality, and education jobs create steady regional moves. Many residents ship vehicles between Seaside and the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and inland California cities, along with cross-country relocations tied to military PCS orders and career changes.
The Seaside auto transport market is smaller than major metro areas, but it benefits from its proximity to Monterey and access to coastal highways. Carrier availability is steady due to regional traffic flowing through nearby corridors, even though some residential streets require careful coordination. AmeriFreight Auto Transport helps Seaside residents connect to broader California and national carrier networks for reliable vehicle shipping.
Common routes from Seaside move north toward San Jose and San Francisco, south toward Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, and inland toward Central Valley cities like Fresno and Bakersfield. Open transport typically ranges from $700-$1,200 depending on distance, while enclosed transport runs higher for added protection.
Estimate ranges are provided for general planning purposes. Your AmeriFreight Auto Transport agent will provide a current estimate based on your specific vehicle, dates, and destination.
Whether you're shipping out of Seaside or moving a vehicle into the area, we've got the service to match your needs.
Seaside is served by California State Route 1 and State Route 68, which connect directly to US-101, one of California's main north-south transportation corridors. These routes allow carriers to access the Monterey Peninsula while maintaining connections to larger statewide shipping networks. This highway access supports consistent scheduling, though coastal routes can influence timing.
