Learn more →Which Service Do You Need?
For the overwhelming majority of vehicles the answer is open transport with door-to-door pickup and delivery. That is what our calculator prices by default and what roughly nine out of ten vehicles shipped in this country move on.
Choose enclosed if the vehicle is a classic, an exotic, has custom paint, sits under five inches of ground clearance, or is worth more than about $70,000. It adds a flat $500 to any route.
RVs, boats and heavy equipment are priced on dimensions rather than a per-mile rate, so the calculator does not cover them — submit the form or call and we will price it directly.
Our Process
How It Works
Four steps from quote to delivery. Nothing is charged until a carrier is assigned to your vehicle.
Get your price
Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes. The calculator prices the real road distance between them and returns an open and enclosed figure in seconds.
Book your date
Confirm the details with a coordinator and pick a date. Nothing is charged until a carrier is assigned to your vehicle.
Pickup & inspection
The driver calls ahead, inspects the vehicle with you and records its condition on the Bill of Lading. You both sign it.
Delivery
The driver calls again before arrival. Inspect the vehicle against the same report, sign, pay the balance and you are done.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
