Why you should ask about ‘destination fee’s before purchasing a new vehicle Destination fees are skyrocketing Tags:  DETROIT – When you buy a new car, there are usually a lot of fees you have to pay. Included in that fee is a destination fee, which is the charge for delivering the car from the factory to the dealership. Those fees are skyrocketing. Some people have reported the fees reaching close to $2,000. Often you don’t see the fee in the numbers until after the sale is finished. Mike Monticello with Consumer Reports said he is frustrated. He said Stellantis in particular has had destination charges go up.

If you ve ever examined a car s window sticker, there s usually something added onto the vehicle s final MSRP called a destination and delivery fee. And it looks like those fees are increasing fast, according to a new Consumer Reports investigation. After researching industry data from ChromeData, Consumer Reports found that destination fees jumped from an average of $839 in 2011 to $1,244 in 2020, the outlet s Mike Monticello wrote. That s more than 2.5 times the rate of inflation, the story said.
