Yes, in many cases. Shipping can save time, wear and tear, and unexpected travel expenses—especially for long distances, cross-country moves, or when relocating a second vehicle.
It depends on the distance and route. Cross-country shipments typically take 7–10 days, while shorter distances may only take 2–5 days.
Pricing depends on the distance, vehicle size, transport type (open or enclosed), delivery speed, time of year, and route demand.
Many companies offer online calculators, but quotes are usually based on mileage, vehicle type, and timing. Getting multiple quotes is a smart way to compare.
Some carriers allow limited personal items, usually up to 100 lbs in the trunk. However, this varies by company and could affect insurance coverage.
Generally no—carriers have weight restrictions, and fully loaded cars may be declined or charged extra. Keep it light and avoid valuables.
Open transport is more affordable and common, but your car is exposed to the elements. Enclosed transport offers protection and is ideal for luxury or classic cars.
Most companies allow a trusted representative to accept delivery. Just be sure to coordinate in advance and provide proper contact info.

Yes—clean your car, remove personal items, disable alarms, and keep gas below a quarter tank. Document any existing damage with photos.
Door-to-door shipping means the carrier picks up and drops off your car as close to your chosen addresses as legally and safely possible.
Most services handle sedans, SUVs, trucks, motorcycles, and even exotic or antique cars. Just check in advance for any size or clearance issues.
