The basics
What is multi-car shipping?
Shipping two or more vehicles as one booking on the same truck, usually with a single pickup and delivery.
How many cars can one truck carry?
A typical open carrier holds about 7 to 10 vehicles, depending on their size and weight. Enclosed trailers usually carry fewer.
Will my cars travel on the same truck?
Usually, but not always. Ask the company to confirm, especially for large orders or busy seasons.
Costs and pricing
How much does it cost to ship two cars?
Published studies put one standard car at about $875–$2,365 for a 1,250-mile trip, so two cost up to twice that. Many companies price a shared booking lower per car, so ask each one for its multi-car rate.
Car shipping cost calculatorIs it cheaper to ship multiple cars at once?
Usually, per car. Shared pickup, delivery and dispatch costs are spread across the vehicles.
Cheapest way to ship a car
Pickup and delivery
Can the cars be picked up from different addresses?
Sometimes, if the addresses are close and on the carrier's route. Each extra stop can add to the price.
Can each car have a different pickup date?
Then it's usually better to book them separately, since a multi-car booking shares one pickup window.
Can I ship some cars open and one enclosed?
Not on the same truck. Book the enclosed car separately and the others together.
Enclosed car transport
Situations
Do dealers use multi-car shipping?
Yes. Dealers regularly move inventory between lots, auctions and customers in shared loads.
Dealer car shippingCan I ship a motorcycle with my car?
Many carriers can, with the motorcycle secured on its own spot. Mention it when you book.
Insurance and preparation
Are all my cars insured during shipping?
Carrier cargo coverage applies, but may be capped per load. Ask for the certificate and check the limit covers every vehicle.
Car shipping insuranceHow do I prepare several cars for shipping?
Prepare each one the same way: wash it, photograph every side, remove personal items and toll tags and keep about a quarter tank of fuel.
