Frequently asked questions
How long does cross-country car shipping take?
Most coast-to-coast shipments take about 7 to 14 days after pickup, depending on distance, weather, the carrier's other stops and federal limits on daily driving time.
How long car shipping takesWhy is the price per mile lower on long routes?
Fixed costs such as dispatch, loading and unloading are spread over more miles, so long routes cost more in total but less per mile.
Car shipping cost per mile
When is the best time to ship a car across the country?
Late fall and winter outside the snowbird rush tend to be cheaper, while summer is the busiest season. Book two to three weeks ahead for peak months.
Best time to ship a carHow are these companies ordered?
Ordered by each company's Trustpilot rating, adjusted for how many reviews it has, so a high rating from a handful of reviews doesn't outrank a similar rating from thousands. Companies without a usable rating follow, A to Z. Haulwide doesn't host reviews yet, and no company can pay for a higher position.
