What goes into your car shipping quote
Auto transport pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Five factors move your quote up or down — knowing them helps you time your shipment and save.
Distance & route
Longer hauls cost more in total but less per mile. Popular lanes with steady carrier traffic price better than remote pickups.
Vehicle size & condition
Trucks, SUVs and vans weigh more and take more space than sedans. Non-running vehicles need special loading and cost more.
Open vs. enclosed
Open transport is the affordable standard. Enclosed transport costs more but fully protects high-value cars.
Timing & season
Flexible pickup windows get better rates. Summer and snowbird season push demand — and prices — higher on certain routes.
Pickup & delivery points
Metro-to-metro is cheapest. Rural addresses may add a short drive or a slightly higher rate to reach the carrier.
Fuel & market rates
Carrier fuel costs and how many trucks are running your lane shift live pricing week to week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car?
Most U.S. car shipments run roughly $500–$1,700 depending on distance, vehicle size, and transport type. Short local moves can be a few hundred dollars, while cross-country enclosed transport of a large or luxury vehicle costs more.

Is my quote binding, or will the price change?
Your Best Care quote is transparent and locked to the details you provide. As long as your vehicle, route, and dates stay the same, your price doesn’t change. Quotes can shift only if key details change — for example an inoperable vehicle or a different pickup location than originally entered.
Do I have to pay a deposit to get a quote?
No. Getting a quote is free and there’s no upfront deposit just to see your price. You typically pay only once a carrier is assigned to your shipment.
How fast can you ship my car?
Carrier assignment often happens within a few days, and transit itself ranges from about 1–2 days for short hauls to 7–9 days coast-to-coast. Expedited options are available if you’re on a tight timeline.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. We only work with carriers that carry active cargo and liability insurance, and your vehicle is covered against carrier-caused damage while in transit. Ask us for the carrier’s insurance details before pickup.
