Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common vehicle shipping questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does vehicle shipping cost?
Cost depends on distance, vehicle size, transport type (open vs enclosed), pickup and delivery locations, and season. We provide clear quotes with no hidden fees.
How long does auto transport take?
Local: 1โ€“3 days. Regional: 3โ€“7 days. Cross-country: 7โ€“14 days. We provide realistic estimates at booking.
Is my vehicle insured?
Yes. Every carrier we dispatch carries active commercial cargo insurance. We verify coverage before loading.
What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport is the industry standard โ€” cost-effective and used for most vehicles. Enclosed transport protects vehicles from weather and road debris, ideal for luxury, classic, and high-value cars.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
Yes, you or an authorized adult should be present at both to sign the bill of lading and inspect the vehicle.
How should I prepare my vehicle for shipping?
Remove personal items, document condition with photos, disable alarms, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel.
