How much should it cost to ship a car?

Auto transport companies ship vehicles from one city to another, one state to another and even one country to another. No matter your reason for having your vehicle shipped, you want to find the best deal for the shipment while guaranteeing your vehicle is delivered safely and on time. This guide will help you figure out how to find the best shipping carrier based on the vehicle being shipped and your budget.

Methodology

I consulted with over a dozen auto transport websites to get some general information about auto transport. To get an unbiased opinion on what consumers need to know before they book their auto transport, I consulted with Troy Green, who is a representative from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). To get some background on auto transport for classic cars, I consulted with Jim McCabe, who is the Special Projects Manager of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
