Open transport costs $300-$550 for routes under 500 miles and $800-$1,400 for cross-country moves in 2026. Enclosed transport adds 30–50% to those rates. Final pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, season, and route popularity. High-volume corridors like Florida-New York are cheaper due to competition among transport providers.

Open transport typically takes 3-10 days depending on the route. Short routes under 500 miles complete in 1-3 days. Cross-country shipments (California to New York) take 7-14 days. Expedited transport cuts any route to 2-5 days at a 30-50% price premium. Transport providers give a 1-3 day delivery window, not an exact date.

Open transport moves 6-10 vehicles on an exposed multi-level trailer and costs $600-$1,100 per 1,000 miles – suitable for most standard vehicles. Enclosed transport uses a fully covered trailer protecting cars from weather and road debris, costing $1,100-$1,600 per 1,000 miles. Enclosed is recommended for luxury, classic, or exotic vehicles valued over $50,000.

Door-to-door shipping means the transport provider picks up your vehicle at your exact address and delivers it to your destination – no terminal drop-off required. It costs $50-$150 more than terminal-to-terminal service but saves significant time and logistics. The driver coordinates pickup timing directly with you, typically within a 1-3 day window.

Remove all personal belongings, photograph all 4 exterior angles, fill the fuel tank to 1/4 capacity maximum, disable the alarm system, and check tire pressure. Document the odometer reading with a dated photo. Transport providers may refuse pickup for unprepared vehicles, which results in a rebooking fee. The full preparation takes 1-2 hours and protects your damage claim if anything goes wrong during transit.
