PRICING

Destination Charge / Freight

A non-negotiable manufacturer fee for shipping the car from factory to dealer. Set by manufacturer.

// Why it matters

The destination charge (or "freight" or "delivery fee") is what the manufacturer charges to ship the vehicle from the factory or port to the dealer. It's set by the manufacturer, listed on the Monroney sticker, and IS legitimate — same charge whether you buy the car in Florida or Alaska. Typical destination charges: $1,200-$1,800. Trucks and full-size SUVs are usually $1,500+. The destination charge is non-negotiable but you should verify the dealer is charging the manufacturer's exact rate and not adding to it.
