FAQ
Questions we hear every day
Don't see yours? Request a quote and ask us anything about your shipment.
How much does it cost to ship a vehicle?
Price depends on distance, route, vehicle size, trailer type, whether the vehicle runs, and how soon you need it picked up. The quote tool at the top of this page gives you a price for your exact move in under a minute.
How long does shipping take?
Transit time depends mostly on distance. Short regional moves often deliver within a few days of pickup, and coast-to-coast moves typically take about a week or more. We give you a pickup window and a delivery estimate when you book.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Carriers are required to carry cargo insurance that covers the vehicles on their trailer. The driver documents your vehicle's condition on a bill of lading at pickup and again at delivery.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport?
Open transport is the standard choice and costs less. Enclosed transport costs more and shields the vehicle from weather and road debris, which makes it the usual pick for luxury, classic and exotic vehicles.
Can you ship a vehicle that doesn't run?
Yes. Tell us in the quote form that the vehicle is inoperable so we can assign a carrier with a winch. The vehicle needs to roll, steer and brake to be loaded.
How should I prepare my vehicle for pickup?
Wash it so existing marks are easy to document, remove personal items and toll tags, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and have a set of keys ready for the driver.
