When it comes to shipping your vehicle, there are several factors that come into play when determining the cost. Everything from the type of vehicle you’re shipping to the type of shipping method you choose will affect the price.
Auto transport quotes and car shipment rates are calculated using unique considerations for each customer. Your car shipping estimate will be based on several different transport factors. This includes, but isn’t limited to: trip distance, car size (sedan, pickup truck, SUV, etc.), vehicle condition (operable or inoperable), transport type (open or enclosed), location (i.e. rural or urban) and the time of year you ship.

Sure! If you're planning to ship your car for a short trip, like between 1 and 500 miles, it typically costs around $1.96 per mile. So, for example, a 300-mile trip might cost you about $588.
For medium distances, which are between 500 and 1500 miles, it's roughly $0.93 per mile. So, for a 1000-mile trip, you might pay around $930.
And for long trips, which are 1500 miles or more, it's about $0.58 per mile. That means for a trip of, say, 2000 miles, it might cost you around $870.
Remember, these are just estimates, and the final cost can vary based on different factors. If you want a more accurate idea of how much it'll cost to transport your car, it's best to reach out to a carrier or broker and ask for a quote.

Car transport means moving cars from one place to another. There are two options: enclosed transport and open transport. Enclosed transport is more expensive but offers better protection, while open transport is cheaper but offers less protection. Enclosed transport costs around 30-40% more than open transport.
Open transport is the most common type of transport, used by most customers, including car dealerships. Enclosed transport is the preferred method for anyone shipping luxury, exotic or collector vehicles that want added protection.
There are different ways to find out how much it costs to ship a car. You can either call the shipping company or check their website. If you need your car picked up faster, make sure to tell them beforehand.
Below points are necessary to be aware of in order to receive the most comprehensive and latest car shipping quotes:
You can pack personal things weighing up to 100 pounds in a box or one big bag. These will go in the back of the car during the trip.
Sure! Your vehicle will be protected by the carrier’s insurance while it’s being transported. We also have our own backup insurance, which kicks in if the carrier’s insurance doesn’t cover everything. This backup insurance can give you up to $250,000 in coverage for any valid claims.
After you’ve ordered, we look for a truck driver to move your car. We’ll pick the best one and tell you when they’ll come. The driver will call you before they arrive to make sure everything’s good.
When you order something, you’ll get an idea of when it will arrive. This depends on how far it has to travel. Sometimes, your order might come quicker than expected.
