How the process works

Moving a vehicle cross-country doesn’t have to be a mystery. You request a quote, choose open or enclosed transport, set a pickup window, and a licensed carrier confirms a slot.

• An on-site inspection records condition on a bill of lading.
• The driver loads the car, secures it, and heads west via major corridors.
• En route updates keep you informed until delivery.
• At drop-off, you compare condition, sign, and pay the remaining balance.

Timing and pricing

Typical transit runs 7–10 days; expedited options can shorten that with a premium. Rates reflect distance, season, vehicle size, operability, and how flexible you are with dates and locations.

Door-to-door tends to cost more than terminal service, while enclosed carriers add protection for high-value vehicles. Ask about insurance limits and verify MC and DOT credentials before you commit.

Preparation tips

Wash the car for clear photos, remove personal items, leave a quarter tank of fuel, and disable alarms. Clear low-hanging obstacles for trucks, and keep your phone handy so dispatch can coordinate smooth pickup and delivery.
