A destination charge, often called a freight fee or freight delivery charge, ensures that new car buyers pay equally to cover the cost of delivering a vehicle to a dealership. Regardless of whether the dealership is nearby or far away from the vehicle assembly plant, this amount gets charged.

According to United States law, car delivery — transporting the vehicle from port or assembly plant to dealer showroom — always gets listed as a separate line item on a new-car window sticker. Automakers may use different names to describe it, but it always works the same way, with buyers covering the cost.
