    How Much Does Car Shipping Cost?

    Auto transport pricing depends on several key factors. Here's what affects your quote:

    πŸ“

    Distance

    Longer routes have a lower per-mile rate, but higher total cost. A coast-to-coast shipment typically costs more than a regional move.

    πŸš™

    Vehicle Size & Weight

    Larger and heavier vehicles β€” SUVs, trucks, vans β€” take up more space on the trailer and cost more to ship than compact sedans.

    🚚

    Transport Type

    Open transport is the most affordable option. Enclosed transport costs 30–50% more but provides premium protection.

    πŸ“…

    Season & Demand

    Peak shipping months (summer, January snowbird season) see higher prices. Booking during off-peak months can save you money.

    πŸ”§

    Vehicle Condition

    Non-running vehicles require special equipment for loading, which adds to the cost.

    πŸ“

    Pickup & Delivery Location

    Major metro areas have more carrier availability and lower rates. Rural or remote locations may require additional fees.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We operate as a licensed auto transport broker. That means we coordinate your shipment by matching you with the best available carrier from our vetted nationwide network. This gives you access to thousands of routes and competitive pricing β€” all managed through a single point of contact.
    We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead for the best rates and availability. However, we also offer expedited service with pickup in as little as 12–24 hours for urgent shipments.
    Yes. Every carrier in our network is required to carry cargo insurance. Your vehicle is covered from pickup to delivery. We'll provide proof of insurance and all relevant documentation before your car is loaded.
    Someone over 18 must be available at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. If you can't be there personally, you can designate a representative.
    Most carriers allow a small amount of personal belongings (typically up to 100 lbs) in the trunk. However, items are not covered by carrier insurance, and excess weight may result in additional charges. We recommend shipping personal items separately.
    The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the official transport document that records the condition of your vehicle at pickup and delivery. Both you and the driver inspect the car and note any existing damage before loading. At delivery, you'll compare the condition and sign off.
    We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. Payment is collected only after a carrier has been confirmed for your shipment.
    Absolutely. Let us know your vehicle's condition when requesting a quote, and we'll match you with a carrier that has the right equipment (winch, ramps) to safely load and transport non-running vehicles.
