The cost to ship a midsize sedan from Albany New York to San Francisco California is around the $1300-$1400. It all depends on what time of year you are traveling. Although you are traveling a little south to San Francisco from New York, most of the route still passes through cold states and mostly mountains, therefore drivers will ask for more money to compensate their trips.
