What to know first
How prices are determined
The price depends on the distance transported and vehicle type. It also varies with conditions such as the vehicle's state and the time of year. If costs not included in the quote may arise, such as storage fees when we need to hold the vehicle, we will explain their reason and amount.

The estimate for one kei car or standard car is ¥29,000–94,000 including tax.
Between regions
The estimate for one kei car or standard car is ¥35,000–154,000 including tax.
When the cost may exceed the estimate
Larger or non-running vehicles and trips to remote islands may cost more than these ranges.
Price guide by region

Larger or non-running vehicles and trips to remote islands may cost more than these ranges. We also transport route combinations not shown in the table; ask us for a quote.
