FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

VEHICLE TRANSPORT INFORMATION

How much does auto transport cost?

Pricing depends on the route, mileage, vehicle size and condition, transport type, timing, and current carrier availability.

What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open transport is the standard and generally more economical option. Enclosed transport provides additional protection from weather exposure and road debris.

How long does transportation take?

Transit time depends on distance, route, traffic, weather, pickup timing, and carrier scheduling. Estimates are provided as windows rather than exact guarantees.

Can you transport a vehicle that does not run?

In many cases, yes. Tell us whether it rolls, steers, brakes, and whether the tires are attached so the correct loading equipment can be arranged.

What should I do before pickup?

Remove personal belongings, take clear photos, leave approximately one-quarter tank of fuel, disable alarms, remove loose accessories, and provide working keys.

Can I put personal items inside the vehicle?

Personal-item rules vary by carrier and route. Confirm permitted items and limits before pickup rather than assuming belongings are allowed.

Is pickup guaranteed on an exact date?

Most shipments use pickup and delivery windows because timing can change due to traffic, weather, route conditions, and carrier availability.

How is the vehicle condition documented?

The vehicle should be inspected and photographed at pickup and reviewed again at delivery. Keep copies of all condition documentation.

Do I need to be present?

An adult should generally be available at pickup and delivery to release or receive the vehicle, provide keys, and review the inspection.

How do I request a quote?

Submit the pickup ZIP, delivery ZIP, vehicle year, make, model, condition, preferred date, and contact information through the website form.
