These are AutoTransport.com’s published open-transport prices for eleven common routes. Use them as a benchmark. Your own quote depends on vehicle size and condition, open versus enclosed transport, timing, and how busy the route is.
| Route | Distance | Open transport price | Typical transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| California to New York | 2,915 miles | $1,900 | 5 to 7 days |
| Florida to California | 2,700 miles | $1,750 | 4 to 6 days |
| New York to Nevada | 2,550 miles | $1,660 | 2 to 4 days |
| California to Illinois | 2,100 miles | $1,370 | 4 to 5 days |
| Florida to Colorado | 2,070 miles | $1,345 | 2 to 4 days |
| Texas to New York | 1,770 miles | $1,150 | 3 to 4 days |
| Colorado to Georgia | 1,630 miles | $1,060 | 3 to 4 days |

| Arizona to Colorado | 650 miles | $520 | 1 to 2 days |
Cost per mile. Across these routes, open transport works out at roughly $0.65 per mile on routes over 1,000 miles and about $0.80 per mile on routes under 1,000 miles. Longer moves cost more in total but less per mile, because the fixed cost of loading, dispatch and paperwork is spread across more distance.
Enclosed transport costs more than open transport on the same route, because enclosed trailers carry fewer vehicles per load and are less widely available. Request a route-specific quote to compare both side by side.
Transit time is measured from pickup, not from booking. Pickup itself usually happens within one to three days of dispatch. These ranges come from the same published routes above.
| Distance | Typical transit time | Example route |
|---|---|---|
| Under 700 miles | 1 to 2 days | Arizona to Colorado (650 miles) |
| 700 to 1,200 miles | 2 to 5 days | New York to Florida (1,150 miles) |
| 1,200 to 2,000 miles | 3 to 4 days | Texas to New York (1,770 miles) |
| 2,000 to 2,600 miles | 2 to 5 days | New York to Nevada (2,550 miles) |
| Over 2,600 miles | 4 to 7 days | California to New York (2,915 miles) |
Weather, road closures, rural pickup or delivery access, and seasonal demand can all extend these ranges. No auto transport company can guarantee an exact delivery hour, and any that does is worth questioning.
To price a shipment accurately we need five things: pickup and delivery ZIP codes, the vehicle’s year, make and model, whether it runs and rolls, open or enclosed transport, and your earliest pickup date. Those five details determine distance, trailer space, loading equipment, and carrier availability — which together set the price.
Open carrier shipping transports vehicles on an open trailer. It is widely used for standard vehicles and can be practical when a common nationwide shipping method and broad route availability are priorities.
Enclosed transport places the vehicle inside a covered trailer. It is commonly considered for collector vehicles, classic cars, luxury vehicles, exotics, and vehicles that need a more protected transportation environment.
Coordinate a car move as part of an interstate household relocation, job change, or new home purchase.
Move a vehicle between seasonal residences while reducing the driving time and added mileage of a long trip.

Most car shipments cost between about $520 and $1,900. Based on AutoTransport.com's published route pricing, a shorter route such as Arizona to Colorado (650 miles) runs around $520, while a coast-to-coast move such as California to New York (2,915 miles) runs about $1,900. Your price depends on distance, vehicle size and condition, open versus enclosed transport, timing, and route demand.
Most car shipments take 1 to 7 days in transit, depending on distance. Routes under about 700 miles typically take 1 to 2 days, routes of roughly 1,200 to 1,800 miles take 3 to 4 days, and coast-to-coast moves of 2,700 miles or more take 5 to 7 days. Weather, carrier availability, and pickup scheduling can shift these estimates.
Neither is universally better; it depends on the vehicle. Open transport is the standard choice for everyday vehicles and costs less because carriers move more cars per load. Enclosed transport costs more and is typically chosen for luxury, classic, exotic, collector, and high-value vehicles that need protection from weather, road debris, and public view.
Yes. Door-to-door service coordinates pickup and delivery as close as safely and legally possible to the addresses you provide. Because full-size carriers are large, narrow streets, low overhead clearance, and local restrictions can require meeting at a nearby accessible location such as a shopping center parking lot.
Before pickup, document the vehicle's condition with dated photos from multiple angles, remove personal belongings unless written instructions say otherwise, check tire pressure and battery condition, disclose any operational issues, and make sure the pickup location is accessible to a full-size carrier.
Vehicle condition is documented in a written inspection report at pickup and reviewed again at delivery. You and the driver review the vehicle together and sign off. Keep your own dated photos as well, since the pickup and delivery reports are what any later condition discussion is based on.
Yes. AutoTransport.com coordinates transport for classic cars, luxury and exotic vehicles, motorcycles, electric vehicles, commercial fleets, semi trucks, oversized and heavy-duty equipment, boats, and driveaway moves. Share the vehicle type, dimensions, and operating condition when requesting a quote so the correct equipment is assigned.
Personal belongings are generally discouraged and are restricted by carrier policy, weight limits, and federal regulations, because auto transport carriers are not licensed to haul household goods. Items left in the vehicle are typically not covered by carrier insurance. Confirm in writing what is allowed before pickup.
Based on AutoTransport.com’s published route pricing, open transport works out at roughly $0.65 per mile on routes over 1,000 miles and about $0.80 per mile on routes under 1,000 miles. A 650-mile move from Arizona to Colorado is published at $520, while a 2,915-mile coast-to-coast move from California to New York is published at $1,900. Longer routes cost more in total but less per mile, because the fixed cost of loading and dispatch is spread over more distance.

Yes. AutoTransport.com coordinates vehicle shipping across all 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, plus Puerto Rico, Canada, and worldwide port-to-port shipping. Coverage includes both major metro areas and rural pickup and delivery, though rural locations can affect pickup windows and pricing.
Yes, but it has to be disclosed when you request the quote. A non-running vehicle needs a carrier equipped with a winch or lift gate and extra handling time, which affects both price and which carriers can take the booking. Confirm whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes, since that determines the equipment required.
AutoTransport.com is licensed, bonded and insured for the vehicle shipments it handles, and every carrier in the network must meet defined insurance standards before it can accept a booking. Ask for the assigned carrier’s insurance details for your specific shipment before it is scheduled.
Booking earlier generally gives you more scheduling options and better pricing. Last-minute and expedited shipments cost more because they narrow the pool of carriers that can fit your vehicle into an existing route. Notice matters most during peak periods: the summer moving season and the winter snowbird migration.
Before booking any vehicle shipment, understand the provider’s authority information, service model, carrier-verification process, insurance details, inspection process, payment terms, and communication plan.
Review the provider’s FMCSA information, business contact details, and stated authority before making a decision.
Ask how carrier insurance information is confirmed before dispatch and how vehicle condition is documented at pickup.
Understand the quoted service, potential variables, pickup window, delivery expectations, and payment terms.
Verify transportation authority, contact information, and shipment coverage details before booking. The information below should match the company’s current FMCSA record and customer-support pages.
