The BMW X5 Didn’t Get More Expensive in the Showroom — It Did on the Road
Exactly a year ago, shipping a BMW X5 from Nevada to Virginia would’ve cost you around $1,200.
Today? $2,400 — if you’re lucky.
The distance hasn’t changed.
But the logistics landscape has.
What’s driving the price hike?
1. Geopolitics is back behind the wheel.
Recent talk of higher tariffs and trade protectionism has already shaken markets — and car haulers are feeling the ripple effects.
2. Fuel prices are rising — again.
Diesel costs have climbed, and so has every fee downstream. Every mile now burns a little hotter.
3. A cautious market slows demand — but not rates.
Fewer dealership orders mean fewer trips. And when trucks run half-empty, the price per mile climbs fast.
This isn’t a temporary bump.
It’s a structural shift. And it’s happening now.
What does it mean for you?
In auto transport, those who wait rarely win.
The longer you delay, the more you pay — or worse, the slot is gone.
