Frequently Asked Questions
Our calculator considers multiple factors including distance, vehicle type and size, transport method (open vs enclosed), vehicle condition (operable vs inoperable), shipping timeframe, and current seasonal demand. The base rate varies depending on the total mileage.
Open transport uses standard car carriers that expose vehicles to weather and road elements. It's the most economical option, used for ~90% of vehicle shipments. Enclosed transport provides complete protection from weather, debris, and UV exposure - ideal for luxury, classic, exotic, or high-value vehicles.
Transit times depend on distance: Local (under 500 mi): 1-3 days, Regional (500-1000 mi): 3-5 days, Cross-country (1000-2000 mi): 5-8 days, Coast-to-coast (2000+ mi): 7-10 days. Expedited shipping options are available for faster delivery.
Non-running vehicles can still be shipped but require special equipment (winch or forklift) for loading and unloading. This adds $75-$200 to the total cost. Please ensure you accurately describe your vehicle's condition for an accurate quote.
Yes, all legitimate auto transport carriers are required to carry cargo insurance. Coverage typically ranges from $100,000 to $1,000,000. We recommend verifying the carrier's insurance coverage before booking and taking photos of your vehicle before pickup.
