Chevrolet dealers were notified by General Motors on Monday that the mandatory destination charges were being raised on many of their 2023 vehicles including the Chevrolet Corvette. The 2023 Corvette’s new Destination Freight Charge (DFC) has been raised by $100 to $1395.
Other Chevrolet vehicles seeing changes in the destination charges include Blazer, Camaro, Colorado, Equinox, Express Vans, Malibu, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and Traverse.
We are sure the destination price increase was done to help offset the huge increase in diesel fuel costs and other inflationary charges. While the increase is “only” $100, we are sure some of you will be asking about price protection which is almost always dictated by the date of the sold order. Here is what dealers received in regards to the DFC Increase:
Retail sold order price protection eligibility dates are dictated by the customer and dealer order dates as follows:
– Customer order date must be prior to the date of the price increase.
– GM systems order date (date dealer enters in GM system) must be no more than one workday after date of the price increase.
These units will be invoiced at prices in effect at the date of production; however, the dealer open account will automatically be credited for the price increase once the unit has been delivered.
We reached out to representatives at Chevrolet regarding the destination price changes but did not hear back at the time this story was published. If we do receive a statement, we will update it here.

Just curious, if you do a Museum delivery option, do you still pay the DMC?
Yes, the Destination charges are mandatory for every Corvette.
Thanks for the info Keith.
A destination fee to go from the factory to the museum? That’s ridiculous! Get in the car and drive it there, it’s only 1,000 feet or so away.
Hello George. That was kind of what I was thinking too.
