What Factors Influence the Cost of Car Transport?
The cost of car transport depends on several key factors that determine the overall price of shipping your vehicle. From the size and condition of your car to the type of transport you choose and the distance it needs to travel, each element plays a role in shaping the final cost.
Understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions and identify the shipping option that best fits your needs and budget. If you need a customized solution or an accurate cost estimate, use our online car shipping cost calculator or contact one of our representatives to guide you through the process and ensure a seamless experience.
Vehicle Size and Weight
Larger and heavier vehicles typically cost more to transport because they occupy more space and weigh more on the carrier.
Vehicle Condition
Non-operational vehicles may require specialized equipment for loading and unloading, which can increase overall shipping costs.
Type of Transport
Choosing between open carrier transport (more affordable) and enclosed carrier transport (premium protection) will impact the price.
Shipping Distance
Longer distances generally result in higher costs, but the cost per mile often decreases for cross-country or extended routes.

Our Auto Transport Services
We offer customized shipping solutions to match your budget and vehicle type.
Open Carrier Auto Transport
Open auto transport is the most popular and cost-effective way to ship a car. Your vehicle travels on an open-air trailer, similar to the trucks that deliver new cars to dealerships. This efficient method allows drivers to move multiple vehicles at once, passing the savings directly to you. It is the perfect choice for daily drivers, family SUVs, and standard vehicles.
Enclosed Carrier Auto Transport
For vehicles that require maximum protection, we offer premium enclosed auto transport. Your car travels inside a fully covered trailer, completely shielded from weather, dust, and road debris. We highly recommend enclosed shipping for luxury cars, classic antiques, exotic sports cars, and vehicles with custom paint jobs or low ground clearance.
Door-to-Door Auto Transport
Our door-to-door auto transport service eliminates the hassle of transport terminals. We pick up your vehicle from your specified location and deliver it as close to your destination as safely as possible. This convenient option saves you time and effort, ensuring a seamless shipping experience.
Expedited Car Shipping
When time is of the essence, our expedited car shipping service ensures your vehicle reaches its destination quickly. Perfect for last-minute moves or urgent deliveries, we prioritize your shipment to secure the fastest possible pickup and delivery times without compromising on safety or quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors determine the cost of shipping my car?
Several key factors influence the total cost to ship your car. The primary element is the mileage between your pickup and delivery locations. Other significant factors include the size, weight, and condition of your vehicle, as a non-running car may require special handling. The transport type you select—such as standard open carrier versus premium enclosed transport—also impacts the price. Finally, the time of year and your specific shipping dates can affect rates due to seasonal demand. For a precise, personalized price, we recommend using our free online quote tool.
How far in advance should I book my auto transport?
We recommend booking your shipment one to two weeks in advance. This timeframe generally provides us with enough time to secure the best-matched carrier and the most competitive rate for your specific route and preferred dates.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier in our network is required to maintain strict, high-limit cargo insurance policies. Your vehicle remains fully covered for damage throughout the transit process, from the moment it's loaded onto the truck until it is safely delivered.
Can I put personal items in my car during transport?
We strongly advise against packing personal items in your vehicle. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations prohibit the transport of household goods in a vehicle being shipped by an auto carrier. Furthermore, the carrier's cargo insurance does not cover any personal belongings left inside the car.
How long does it take to ship a car?
Transit times vary based on the total distance of the journey. A local or regional move might take only 1 to 3 days. A cross-country trip, such as from coast to coast, typically takes between 7 and 10 days. When you book your shipment, we will provide you with an estimated delivery window.
Does someone have to be present for pickup and delivery?
Yes, you or an authorized representative needs to be present at both pickup and delivery. This allows you to participate in the vehicle inspection, sign the Bill of Lading, and safely hand over or receive the keys from the driver.
How do I prepare my car for shipment?
To prepare your vehicle, please ensure it has about a quarter tank of gas or less. Remove all personal items and any non-permanent accessories, such as custom spoilers or bike racks. Finally, make sure the car is clean enough for the driver to conduct a thorough pre-shipment inspection for existing scratches or dings.
Can you ship a vehicle that isn't running?
Yes, we can ship non-operational or "inoperable" vehicles. However, you must notify us at the time of booking that the vehicle does not run. This is because special equipment, such as a winch, is required for loading and unloading, which may affect the overall cost.
What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport is the most common and affordable option, where your vehicle is shipped on an open-air trailer. Enclosed transport provides maximum protection by shipping your vehicle inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather and road debris. This option is recommended for classic, luxury, or high-value cars.
Where will my car be picked up and delivered?
We offer door-to-door service, meaning we will pick up and deliver your vehicle as close to your specified addresses as legally and safely possible. If a large transport truck cannot access your street due to local restrictions or tight turns, the driver will arrange to meet you at a nearby accessible location, such as a large parking lot.
