What We Ship

Pick the service that matches the vehicle and the budget. Not sure which? Call and we will tell you honestly which one you actually need.

Open Car Transport

The standard choice and the most affordable. Your vehicle travels on a multi-car carrier, the same way dealerships move stock. Right for most daily drivers.

Enclosed Auto Transport

A fully covered trailer with no exposure to road debris or weather. The right call for anything low, rare, freshly restored or expensive.

Door-to-Door Shipping

Collected from your address and delivered to theirs. No terminal drop-offs, no chasing a depot across town on a weekday.

Expedited Shipping

Priority dispatch when the timing is not flexible — a job start date, a house move, a sale that has to complete.

Luxury & Exotic

Enclosed transport, soft tie-downs and experienced handlers for exotics and classics.

Tesla & EV Shipping

Carriers who understand battery weight, correct charge levels and how to move an EV that will not roll into neutral on its own.

Trucks, SUVs & Vans

Larger vehicles take more deck space and are priced accordingly — quoted upfront, never adjusted at pickup.

Interstate Transport

State-to-state moves on vetted long-haul carriers, with realistic transit windows based on federal driving-hour limits.

THREE STEPS

How Car Shipping Works

No back-and-forth and no waiting on a callback to find out what it costs.

1. Get your price

Tell us the two locations, the vehicle and roughly when. You get a real figure, not a callback request. See how it works in full.

2. We assign a carrier

We match your route to a vetted, insured carrier from our network and confirm a pickup window you have agreed to.

3. Door-to-door delivery

Collection from your address, status updates in transit, and delivery to the destination door. You inspect before you sign.

Choose the right trailer configuration for your vehicle and track your prep checklist before pickup day.

1. Maintain 1/4 Tank of Fuel

A quarter tank reduces trailer payload weight while leaving enough fuel for driver loading and unloading.

2. Wash Vehicle for Photo Inspection

A clean exterior allows accurate documentation of pre-existing condition on the digital Bill of Lading (e-BOL).

3. Remove Toll Tags & E-ZPass

Deactivate or wrap transponders in foil so automated toll gantries do not charge your account during highway transit.

4. Prepare Spare Working Key

Federal carrier guidelines require one working ignition key for the driver to position the vehicle safely on the hauler.

5. Disable Car Alarms

Turn off aftermarket security systems or set them to valet mode to prevent battery drain while on the road.

Car Shipping FAQ

The questions we are asked most often before a booking.

Price depends on distance, vehicle size, whether you choose open or enclosed transport, and the time of year. As a guide, most cross-country moves fall between $900 and $1,600 on open transport, while shorter in-state routes are usually $450 to $800. Enclosed transport typically adds 40 to 50 percent. Get an exact figure here — whatever we quote is what you pay.
Roughly 1 to 2 days in-state, 3 to 5 days regional, and 7 to 10 days coast to coast. Carriers work to federal driving-hour limits, so those windows are realistic rather than optimistic. We confirm a pickup window with you before dispatch.
Yes. Every carrier in our network is FMCSA licensed and carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before assigning your vehicle. Cover is included at no extra cost. You inspect the vehicle with the driver at both ends and you both sign the condition report.
Open transport suits most vehicles and is what dealerships use to move new stock. Choose enclosed transport if the vehicle is low-clearance, rare, recently restored, or valuable enough that road grime and stone chips would genuinely matter to you.
Carriers can generally accommodate up to about 100 lbs in the boot, kept below the window line. Personal items are not covered by cargo insurance, so nothing valuable or irreplaceable should travel in the vehicle. Tell us in advance so the carrier can account for the weight.
No deposit is taken to hold your quote, and you are not asked for payment before a carrier is assigned and a pickup window confirmed. If we cannot cover your route at the price quoted, we tell you rather than raising it later.
