    FAQ

    Car Shipping Questions,
    Answered

    Most car shipping quotes fall between $320 and $1,450. Regional routes under 500 miles typically run $320 to $500, while coast-to-coast transport runs $1,150 to $1,450. Enclosed transport costs more than open transport. See the full cost table.

    Regional routes under 500 miles usually deliver in 1 to 3 days. Cross-country shipments take 5 to 10 days depending on the lane, the season, and carrier availability.
    Distance, vehicle size and weight, open versus enclosed transport, whether the vehicle runs, how far in advance you book, and current carrier demand on your lane.
    Yes. Enclosed transport is recommended for classic, exotic, luxury, and high-value vehicles. The calculator adds a $300 enclosed premium so the carrier is paid enough to cover that equipment.
