We are physically located at 1193 E Higgins Rd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 — not a virtual office or a call center routing your order to an unknown carrier three states away.

Our Elk Grove Village Auto Transport Office
Best Care Auto Transport operates from a real physical office in the heart of Elk Grove Village, one of the largest industrial and logistics hubs in the Chicago metro area. Our location sits less than four miles from O’Hare International Airport (ORD) — a major advantage for auto transport because carriers constantly pass through this corridor on cross-country routes.

Google Rating: 4.8 stars out of 5, based on over 105 verified customer reviews
Elk Grove Village is uniquely positioned for auto transport. The village borders O’Hare to the south, sits at the junction of I-90 and I-290, and is surrounded by major freight corridors including I-294 and I-355. Carriers serving routes to the West Coast, the South, and the East Coast all pass within a few miles of our office daily, which means faster pickup windows and more competitive pricing for local customers.
Why Being Local Matters for Car Shipping
Most car shipping brokers operate nationally without any physical presence in the communities they serve. That model works fine for basic point-to-point transport, but it creates real friction when things do not go as planned. A local office means you can speak to someone who actually knows the Elk Grove Village area — the industrial parks, the residential street widths, the truck-accessible staging points near O’Hare.
Here is what a local presence means in practice:
- Same-area pickup: We are physically here, not dispatching from a call center in Florida or California. When a carrier is running late or needs an alternate meeting point, we can solve it on the ground.
- Road knowledge: Elk Grove Village has a mix of wide industrial boulevards and narrow residential cul-de-sacs. We know which streets a nine-car carrier can navigate and which require a meet point at a nearby lot or our office.
- O’Hare corridor advantage: Carriers moving freight through ORD are already in our backyard. Pickup windows tend to be shorter and more reliable than in rural or outlying suburbs where carriers must deadhead in specifically for a single load.
- Accountability: A local office with a public address and a 4.8-star reputation means we stand behind every shipment. You can visit us, call us, and hold us accountable in a way that a virtual-only broker cannot match.
Popular Routes from Elk Grove Village and Chicagoland
Because we are based in the Chicago metro area, we move a high volume of vehicles on the following corridors. These are well-served lanes with consistent carrier availability, which typically means more competitive pricing and shorter pickup windows:

All prices are illustrative ranges based on open-carrier transport of a standard sedan. Actual quotes depend on vehicle size, transport type (open vs. enclosed), seasonality, fuel prices, and carrier availability at time of booking. These are not binding quotes.
Vehicle Shipping Services We Offer
Our Elk Grove Village office coordinates the full range of auto transport services. Whether you are shipping a daily driver, a luxury vehicle, a motorcycle, or a fleet of cars, we match you with a vetted, insured carrier from our network.
- Open Car Transport: The most common and cost-effective option. Your vehicle rides on an open multi-car carrier alongside others. Suitable for standard sedans, SUVs, and trucks.
- Enclosed Auto Transport: Full weather and road-debris protection inside a covered trailer. Recommended for classic cars, collectible vehicles, exotic cars, and high-value luxury models.
- Door-to-Door Service: The carrier picks up as close to your Elk Grove Village address as legally and safely possible, and delivers as close to the destination address. If your street cannot accommodate a large carrier, we arrange a nearby meet point.
- Terminal-to-Terminal: You drop off and pick up at secure storage terminals. This can reduce cost but adds handling time. We can discuss whether terminal shipping makes sense for your situation.
- Multi-Car and Fleet Shipping: Shipping two or more vehicles on the same carrier can qualify for multi-car discounts. We also handle dealer and fleet moves.
- Motorcycle Shipping: We arrange dedicated motorcycle transport with proper tie-down equipment and, when needed, crating.
How Local Car Shipping Works: The Elk Grove Village Process
Shipping a car from Elk Grove Village follows a straightforward five-step process. Here is what to expect when you work with a local office:
- Get a Quote: Fill out our online form or call (224) 414-2700. We ask for your vehicle details, destination, preferred timeline, and any special requirements (enclosed transport, expedited pickup, non-running vehicle). You will receive a firm quote, not a bait-and-switch lowball number.
- Carrier Assignment: We post your shipment to our carrier network and match you with a vetted, FMCSA-registered carrier who regularly runs your route. Because our office is in the O’Hare corridor, we typically find a carrier within twenty-four to forty-eight hours for most routes.
- Pickup in Elk Grove Village: The carrier contacts you to confirm a pickup window (usually one to three days). They will meet you at your home, workplace, or our office yard at 1193 E Higgins Rd if your street has access restrictions.
- Transit: Your vehicle is transported on an open or enclosed carrier. You receive tracking updates and can call our local office anytime for status.
- Delivery and Inspection: At the destination, you inspect the vehicle alongside the carrier, sign the bill of lading, and the job is complete. Our office follows up to confirm everything went smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Elk Grove Village Car Shipping
Where is Best Care Auto Transport located near Elk Grove Village?
Our office is at 1193 E Higgins Rd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007. We are less than four miles from O’Hare International Airport, just south of the I-90 and I-290 interchange. Elk Grove Village is approximately twenty miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Carriers can access our location easily from I-90, I-290, I-294, and I-355.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Elk Grove Village?
The cost to ship a car depends on several factors: distance to the destination, vehicle size and weight, transport type (open vs. enclosed), seasonality (summer and January snowbird months are busier), and current fuel prices. As a general range, shipping a standard sedan from Elk Grove Village to Florida runs roughly nine hundred to fifteen hundred dollars on an open carrier, while a cross-country move to California is typically thirteen hundred to two thousand dollars. Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks add a surcharge. Call (224) 414-2700 for a firm quote specific to your vehicle and destination.
Do you offer same-day pickup in Elk Grove Village?
Same-day pickup is rare in auto transport regardless of the broker, because carriers schedule loads days in advance as they build efficient multi-stop routes. However, our location near O’Hare means carriers are constantly passing through the area, and we can often achieve a shorter pickup window (one to two days) than brokers who operate remotely. If you have an urgent timeline, let us know up front — we can prioritize your shipment with expedited carrier matching.
Can I drop off my car at your Elk Grove Village office?
Yes. If your residential street cannot accommodate a full-size nine-car carrier, or if you prefer not to coordinate a home pickup, you can drop your vehicle at our office at 1193 E Higgins Rd. We will coordinate with the assigned carrier to load from our location. This is a common arrangement for Elk Grove Village residents in neighborhoods with narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or HOA restrictions on commercial vehicle parking.
How long does it take to ship a car from Elk Grove Village to Florida?
Transit time from the Chicago area to Florida typically runs three to five days on the road, depending on the exact destination (Miami takes longer than the Florida panhandle) and weather conditions. The pickup window — the time between booking and the carrier arriving — is usually one to three days. Plan for a total timeline of roughly five to eight days from booking to delivery for a Florida shipment from Elk Grove Village.
Why Choose a Local Chicagoland Auto Transport Office?
Shipping a car is a significant transaction — the vehicle is often your second most valuable asset, and the logistics involve multiple parties across state lines. A local office gives you a single point of contact who knows your area, knows the carriers who run your route, and has a public reputation to protect. Our 4.8-star rating across over one hundred five Google reviews is not an accident; it is the result of showing up, being reachable, and doing what we say we will do.
