    Preparation checklist

What a real quote should include

Ask every company for these in writing so you compare like with like.

  • Transport from pickup to delivery
  • Fuel and tolls
  • The carrier's cargo insurance
  • Door-to-door service where a truck can safely reach

Ask about

  • Is this an estimate or a confirmed price?
  • How much is the deposit, and when is it charged?
  • How is the driver paid at delivery?
  • What does it cost to cancel or reschedule?

Plan your budget and dates

Book safely

Most problems start with an unlicensed company or a too-good-to-be-true price.

Quote questions

  • Is the price on this page a quote?

    No. It's an estimate based on typical prices for similar distances. A quote comes from a shipping company and depends on your exact addresses, vehicle, dates and carrier availability.

    What affects the cost
  • What happens to my contact details?

    We use them to confirm your request and follow up with next steps. We never sell them, and they go to a shipping company only after you approve it.

    Privacy Policy
  • Should I pay a deposit to get a quote?

    No. Quotes should be free. Some brokers take a deposit or fee once a carrier is assigned, but be cautious of anyone asking for large upfront payments or wire transfers.

    Avoid car shipping scams
  • Should I take the lowest quote?

    Not automatically. A price far below the rest often can't attract a carrier, which leads to delays or a higher price later. Compare what each quote includes.

    How to choose a company
  • How far ahead should I request quotes?

    One to two weeks before your pickup date is usually enough. In summer and snowbird season, give yourself two to three weeks.

    Best time to ship a car
  • Why might a quote differ from the estimate?

    Rural pickups, oversized or modified vehicles, tight dates, peak season and fuel prices all move the price. The estimate on this page also assumes a standard car, so an SUV, pickup or van usually costs more.
