The distance covered, the type of vehicle, whether you choose open or enclosed transport, and the time of year all affect the price. For most domestic routes, the average cost of shipping a car falls between $500 and $1,500.

Yes. We work with reputable, fully insured carriers across the country to provide safe, affordable auto transport. Affordable comes from better carrier partnerships and smarter logistics, not from lower standards.

Most carriers give an approximate window for pickup and delivery rather than precise dates, because routes depend on traffic, weather and other loads. If you need firm dates, expedited shipping is available.

It is possible to have your vehicle delivered to more than one place. Discuss it with us beforehand so it can be built into the route. Additional fees and services may apply.

Leave the fuel tank about a quarter full rather than filling it. Remove all personal items from the vehicle. Disable any alarm system. Take clear, dated photographs of the vehicle from every angle before pickup.

Most carriers do not allow it, because added weight affects safety and cargo insurance does not cover personal property. If you do need to leave items in the vehicle, keep them light, below the window line, and packed so they cannot shift and damage the interior.

Do not leave valuable or important items inside, and do not keep the fuel tank full. The most important step is documentation: photograph your vehicle thoroughly before it is picked up so the condition at pickup is recorded.

No. You can ship any type of vehicle, whether it is a classic, a motorcycle, or an everyday daily driver. What matters is that the vehicle is prepared correctly and matched to the right equipment.

You are given a delivery time estimate when your shipment is booked, based on distance and route. If you need it sooner, an expedited option is available at a higher rate.

Yes. We provide regular updates throughout the trip so you know where your vehicle is and when it is expected to arrive.

With door-to-door service we collect from and deliver to the address you supply. Where a street cannot safely accommodate a full-size carrier, the driver arranges a nearby meeting point instead.

Someone must be present to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot be there yourself, let us know in advance and you can designate a representative to receive it on your behalf.

Every carrier we dispatch to carries active cargo insurance, and claims are filed against that policy. Photograph your vehicle before pickup and inspect it carefully at delivery before signing. Note anything you find on the Bill of Lading, which is what makes a claim straightforward.

Yes. Open transport is how dealerships and manufacturers move new vehicles every day. The vehicle is securely fastened before shipping. It is exposed to weather and road conditions, which is the trade-off for the lower cost.
