Before You Ship

Car Shipping Questions Answered

The most important questions answered clearly — so you can book with confidence.

Full FAQ Center

What is the cheapest car shipping option?

Open car transport is the most affordable method, typically ranging from $600 to $1,800 for most domestic routes. It uses multi-car open trailers — the same type dealerships use — and is safe and reliable for everyday vehicles.

View open car shipping

What is the safest way to ship a luxury or classic car?

Enclosed auto transport offers the highest protection. Your vehicle rides inside a fully sealed trailer, shielded from weather, road debris, and UV exposure — the preferred choice for exotics, classics, and any high-value vehicle.

View enclosed shipping

Is enclosed transport worth the extra cost?

For vehicles worth $50,000 or more, yes. The premium over open transport is typically 40–60%, but the protection and peace of mind for a high-value vehicle makes it well worth it. For standard cars, open transport is perfectly safe.

Compare open vs enclosed

How fast can I ship a car?

With standard service, carrier assignment takes 3–7 business days, then 1–10 transit days depending on distance. Expedited service targets assignment within 24–48 hours — ideal for last-minute moves or time-sensitive purchases.

View expedited shipping

Can I ship a non-running vehicle?

Yes. Non-running, inoperable, and damaged vehicles can be transported using carriers with winches, forklifts, or rollback loading equipment. Disclose the vehicle's condition when booking so we assign the right carrier.

Inoperable vehicle shipping

Is door-to-door shipping available nationwide?

Yes — on virtually every domestic route. The carrier picks up at your address and delivers to your destination. In some rural or restricted areas, the driver may meet you within a short distance of your exact address.

View door-to-door shipping

Do I need insurance to ship a car?

All carriers in our network carry FMCSA-required cargo insurance, typically $100,000–$250,000 per shipment, at no extra charge. Document your vehicle's condition with photos before pickup as a precaution.

FMCSA insurance guide

What states are most expensive for car shipping?

Remote states like Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota have higher rates due to limited carrier traffic. Hawaii and Alaska require ocean freight, adding significant cost. High-volume corridors like FL–NY and CA–TX offer the most competitive pricing.
