How long does car shipping take?

Coast-to-coast transport typically takes 7–10 business days. Regional shipments (500–1,000 miles) take 3–5 days. Short-distance moves under 500 miles can arrive in 1–3 days. Expedited shipping is available for faster delivery at a premium.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Yes, every shipment includes up to $100,000 in cargo insurance coverage. All carriers in our network are fully licensed (USDOT/MC registered), bonded, and insured. You'll receive insurance documentation and a Bill of Lading before transport begins.

What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open transport ($500–$1,600) carries 7–10 vehicles on an open trailer — it's the most popular and affordable option. Enclosed transport ($800–$2,500) uses a covered trailer that protects against weather, road debris, and UV damage — ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles worth $50,000+.

Can I put personal items in my car during shipping?

Personal items up to 100 lbs are allowed in the trunk only. Items must be below window level and not visible from outside. Important: personal items are NOT covered by carrier cargo insurance. Ship valuables separately for proper coverage.

Do you ship non-running or inoperable vehicles?

Yes, we transport non-running and inoperable vehicles. A surcharge of $150–$300 applies because special equipment (winch/forklift) is needed for loading. Let us know your vehicle's condition when requesting a quote so we can match you with the right carrier.

How far in advance should I book car shipping?

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for the best rates and carrier availability. Last-minute bookings (under 3 days) may incur a 20–50% premium. During peak season (June–August), booking 3–4 weeks ahead is ideal.

Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?

Yes, you or an authorized representative (18+) must be present at both pickup and delivery to sign the Bill of Lading inspection report, note any existing damage, and hand over/receive keys.
