How much does it cost to ship a car?
Our estimate is distance-based: $1 per mile plus a $300 base, for open carrier transport. A 900-mile move runs about $1,200; coast to coast is closer to $2,800. Enclosed transport adds $500. Use the calculator on this page for your exact route — it prices the real road distance between your two ZIP codes.
What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open carriers are the multi-car trailers you see delivering to dealerships. They carry 7 to 10 vehicles, cost the least, and expose your car to weather the same way driving it would. Enclosed carriers are hard-sided trailers carrying 2 to 6 vehicles with no weather exposure, used for classics, exotics and low-clearance cars. Enclosed adds $500 to any quote.
How long does auto transport take?
Transit runs roughly 400 to 500 miles per day once the vehicle is loaded, because drivers are limited by federal hours-of-service rules. Chicago to Florida is typically 3 to 4 days, coast to coast 7 to 10. Add 1 to 5 days for the pickup window on top of that.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we dispatch to carries active cargo insurance, and we verify it before your vehicle is assigned. Damage claims are filed against the carrier policy. Personal items left in the vehicle are not covered.
Can I put personal items in the car?
Up to about 100 lbs in the trunk, below the window line. Carriers are licensed to haul vehicles, not household goods, and DOT weight limits apply to the whole load. Personal belongings are not covered by cargo insurance.
