Car Shipping Questions
Your price depends on route, vehicle, transport type, and carrier availability. Typical Standard open-transport quotes fall between $440 and $1,490. See how pricing works.
You request an estimate, Bigfella reviews the shipment and available carriers, you approve the carrier and final price, then pickup and delivery are coordinated door to door.
Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option. Enclosed transport adds extra weather and road protection for higher-value or specialty vehicles.
Regional routes under 500 miles usually deliver in 1 to 3 days. Cross-country shipments take 5 to 10 days depending on the lane, season, and carrier availability. Pickup dates are coordinated after a carrier is assigned.
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel, remove personal items, take photos of existing condition, and make sure the vehicle is accessible for a full-size car carrier. See the vehicle prep guide.
Seeing an estimate is free. Booking places a $250 authorization hold on your card. That hold is temporary and is not an immediate charge. We capture it only after a carrier is assigned and the payment terms are confirmed. Your bank determines when the hold disappears. After a carrier is assigned, a $250 cancellation fee applies if you cancel for reasons within your control.
You can cancel at no charge before a carrier is assigned. After a carrier is assigned, a $250 cancellation fee applies when you cancel for reasons within your control. The $250 fee does not apply if Bigfella or the assigned carrier cannot complete the shipment.

“Thank you Bigfella for shipping my car from Texas all the way to the greater Los Angeles area. The process from booking to receiving my car was fast and easy.”
“I was nervous about shipping my SUV from Texas to New York. It arrived exactly when they said it would, clean and in perfect shape.”
“Once again, Big Fellas delivered exceptional service and timing. I paid for white glove service because I wanted a shorter window of travel time and a GPS tracker. They picked up the car the day after I called them and dropped off in California two days later with zero problems. Highly recommend.”
