The total distance between pickup and delivery plays a key role in the overall shipping cost. Shorter routes—less than 500 miles; average around $1.85 per mile. Mid-range distances between 500 and 1,500 miles are about $0.91 per mile, while long-distance transports over 1,500 miles average around $0.59 per mile. Although the total cost goes up with distance, the cost per mile decreases the farther your vehicle travels.
The route your carrier takes can affect your transport time and cost. Vehicles shipped to or from high-traffic cities or remote rural areas; like steep mountain roads—may require extra planning or specific equipment. These factors can influence the type of carrier used and may adjust the overall shipping rate.
Every vehicle is unique, and size matters when it comes to shipping. Compact cars are lighter and take up less space, while oversized SUVs, trucks, or vehicles with lift kits, roof racks, or large tires may need special handling. These adjustments can impact how your car is loaded and may influence the final shipping cost.
Booking your auto transport at least two weeks ahead is ideal. Carrier availability often shifts based on the season and location. If your schedule is flexible, you’ll likely save on cost. But if you need your vehicle picked up by a specific date, we can arrange a guaranteed pickup for an additional fee.
You can choose between open or enclosed auto transport. Open transport is the most common and budget-friendly option, though your vehicle will be exposed to weather and road debris. Enclosed transport provides added protection and is ideal for classic, luxury, or low-clearance vehicles.
Knowing your vehicle’s condition is important. Running vehicles are easier to load and typically cost less to ship. If your car is inoperable and needs special equipment like a winch or flatbed, transport costs may be higher
The farther the distance between pickup and delivery, the longer the shipping time. Experienced auto transporters plan efficient routes, but longer trips can still face delays due to traffic, road construction, or driver rest requirements.
A direct route is typically the fastest, but roads with steep inclines, sharp turns, or difficult terrain may require detours or slower travel for safety. An experienced auto transport company will factor in these challenges when estimating delivery time, helping ensure your vehicle arrives on schedule.
Car shipping demand peaks during certain times of the year—particularly in summer when many people relocate, and in autumn as snowbirds head home. These peak seasons can impact availability and delivery timelines. Additionally, unexpected weather events or road construction may delay transit, so it's wise to factor in extra time when planning your shipment.
Open auto transport involves shipping your vehicle on an open-air trailer without walls or a roof. Your car is securely fastened with straps and transported from the pickup location to the delivery point.
This is the most commonly used method due to its wide availability and lower cost compared to enclosed transport. It's an efficient option for most standard vehicles. However, because the vehicle is exposed to the elements and road debris, it may arrive with dust or minor surface dirt.

Enclosed auto transport is a premium vehicle shipping service that provides maximum protection during transit. Your car is transported inside a fully enclosed trailer, shielding it from weather, road debris, and other external elements.
This method is ideal for luxury, exotic, classic, or collector vehicles that require extra care. Enclosed trailers often feature soft straps and hydraulic lift gates, making them perfect for cars with low ground clearance.
While this option offers superior protection, it comes at a higher cost than open transport and may have limited availability due to fewer enclosed carriers in the market.
