Yes. We work with carriers equipped to handle inoperable vehicles. Keep in mind that shipping a non-running ATV or UTV costs slightly more because the driver needs special equipment (like a winch) to load and unload it safely. Just let us know it's inoperable when you request your quote.

Generally, no. Most states prohibit riding ATVs or UTVs on public highways or city streets. This is crucial for shipping: make sure your delivery location is accessible for a large commercial truck. If a truck can't reach your house, you’ll need to arrange a meetup with the driver at a nearby large parking lot (like a grocery store) and trailer the ATV home yourself.

Most cross-country ATV shipments take between 3 to 14 days. The exact timeframe depends on the total distance, route popularity, and weather conditions. Once you book, your carrier will provide a specific pickup window and keep you updated on the delivery progress.

Yes. All legitimate, licensed carriers provide cargo insurance that covers your off-road vehicle against damage during transit. We highly recommend taking clear photos of your ATV from all angles before it gets loaded. This gives you solid proof of its condition just in case you need to file a claim.

Payment is typically split into two parts. First, a small deposit is charged when your vehicle is dispatched to a carrier. The remaining balance is paid directly to the driver at drop-off. Most drivers accept cash, money orders, or certified checks (some may also take Zelle or PayPal).

Prices are based on total mileage, vehicle size (a 4-seat SxS takes up much more trailer space than a standard ATV), transport type (open vs. enclosed), and current fuel prices. Because rates fluctuate, the smartest move is to use our calculator to compare real-time market quotes.

ATV and UTV shipping typically costs $300 to $800 for standard routes within the continental US. Shorter regional hauls under 500 miles average $300–$450; cross-country transport runs $500–$800. Price depends on the vehicle's dimensions, weight, transport type (open or enclosed), and pickup location accessibility. Oversized UTVs and side-by-sides with wide wheelbases may cost more due to space requirements on the trailer.

Yes. Most carriers can accommodate multiple units on a single trailer, which reduces the per-unit cost compared to booking separate shipments. ATVs, UTVs, and SxS vehicles are compact enough to load together on an open or enclosed trailer. Exact capacity depends on the dimensions of each unit. When requesting a quote, list all vehicles you need shipped – carriers will confirm availability and provide a combined rate.

Open transport is the standard option – it costs less and works well for most ATVs and UTVs in good condition. Enclosed transport provides full weather and road debris protection and is recommended for high-value, custom, or competition-grade machines. Enclosed shipping costs 30–50% more than open. For most recreational ATVs, open transport is sufficient; for UTVs worth $15,000+, enclosed is worth the added cost.

To prepare your ATV for shipping: drain the fuel tank to approximately ¼ full, disconnect the battery or turn off the kill switch, remove or secure all loose accessories and cargo, check for fluid leaks and address them before pickup, and document the vehicle's condition with photos from all angles. Tires should be inflated to the correct pressure. Most carriers require the ATV to be clean so the condition inspection at pickup is accurate.
