It is the process in which a driver with a multi-car carrier comes to your home or place of business, safely loads his trailer with your vehicle and then delivers it to your desired destination.

About Us

Distance

Distance is typically the main component in determining the cost of a car shipment. The longer the distance, the less per mile it costs. Alternately, the shorter the distance, the more per mile. International shipments are a totally different beast. For more info on this, contact an agent.

Time of year

Date is a major factor because this is an industry of supply and demand. The sooner you book your shipment, the more time there is for coordinating routes and load-outs with our drivers. Once you have solidified your timing, call as soon as possible to catch the best deal.

Vehicle make & model

Its best to give us the exact year, make and model of your vehicle to get an accurate quote as well as any details about modifications because changes like lift kits, bigger tires, special suspension, etc all dictate the type of trailer needed and the availability of said services. Use our car shipping calculator to get the cost to transport a car.

Transport mode

A vast majority of clients go with the open auto transport option due to its flexibility and cost efficiency. Enclosed transport typically yields clients that have high end luxury vehicles, sports cars, vintage automobiles, or vehicles that have extreme sentimental value. Go enclosed if you just worry too much - but open transport is still a great option as well.
