Frequently asked questions
How much does car shipping cost?
Auto transport pricing is set by route distance, vehicle profile, transport method, urgency and real-time carrier supply. There is no flat national rate — request a quote for your specific route.
How long does car shipping take?
Most routes complete in 1 to 9 calendar days in transit depending on distance. Pickup windows are separate and typically span one to five days.
Open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the standard, lower-cost option for daily drivers. Enclosed transport adds weather and debris protection for high-value, low-clearance or specialty vehicles.
Is same-day pickup guaranteed?
No. Same-day is an availability request that depends on whether a qualified carrier is already near your pickup ZIP.
