Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on several factors: distance traveled, vehicle size, transport type (open or enclosed), and current carrier availability. Shorter hauls under 500 miles typically run $250–$800, while cross-country shipping usually falls between $700 and $1,900.

Enclosed transport runs roughly 30–60% more than open transport because it offers complete protection inside a weather-sealed trailer.

Open transport is the most economical option where your car is securely loaded on a multi-car open trailer, exposed to the elements during transport as the standard choice for everyday sedans, SUVs, and trucks. Enclosed transport offers exceptional protection by placing your car securely in a fully weather-sealed trailer, shielding it from harsh weather and road debris end-to-end for luxury, classic, and high-value vehicles.
