Vehicle shipping, eight ways.
Each lane, each vehicle, each timeline gets the right carrier and the right trailer.
Eight services, one decision tree.
Most people land here thinking they have to learn an industry to ship a car. They don't. Three questions, asked in order, will walk you straight to the right service.
Is the vehicle worth more than $80,000, low to the ground, or one of one? If yes, you want enclosed transport with a lift gate — single-car for true exotics, multi-car enclosed for the rest. If no, open transport is the right call and the cheaper one. It's what dealerships use to move new inventory across the country every day.
Do you have a hard deadline? If a job starts Monday and the car has to be there, the answer is expedited. That tightens the pickup window to 1–3 days and pulls your load to the front of the dispatch queue. If your timing has a week of give, standard service is fine and prices about 15% lower.
Is the car running? If not, tell us at quote time — we'll route a winch-equipped carrier instead of finding out at pickup. That's the entire decision. Browse the eight services below if you want the detail, or just send us your ZIPs and we'll tell you which lane you're on.
Open auto transport ships your vehicle on a multi-car carrier — the same trucks dealerships and manufacturers use. It's safe, fast, and 30–40% less expensive than enclosed transport. Roughly 95% of personal vehicles ship this way.

- Door-to-door pickup and delivery
- Best value for daily drivers, SUVs, and trucks
Enclosed carriers fully shield your vehicle from weather, road debris, and view. The choice for collector cars, exotics, motorcycles on dollies, and anything over $80k in value. Soft-tie loading and lift-gate trailers are standard.

Questions, answered
Which service is right for me?+
Most personal vehicles — daily drivers, lease returns, dealer purchases — ship perfectly on open transport. Choose enclosed only if the vehicle is worth over $80k, is a classic or exotic, or has paint/clearance concerns. Door-to-door is included on every service.
What's included in 'door-to-door'?+
Pickup at your origin address and delivery at the destination address, as close as the carrier can legally and safely reach. No terminal drops, no extra fees. The standard on every order we book.
Do you offer expedited or guaranteed-date shipping?+
Yes — expedited service tightens the pickup window to 1–2 days and guarantees a specific pickup date, typically adding $200–$500 to the quote depending on lane and timing.
Can you handle dealer and dealership transport?+
Yes — we run dedicated dealer accounts with consolidated billing, Net-30 terms, dispatch-floor priority, and capacity for everything from single auction lots to 100-car batch moves.
Do you transport military PCS moves?+
Yes — military PCS shipping with TMO-compliant documentation, discounted rates, and priority dispatch. Active-duty, veterans, and dependents all qualify.
