Cross Country Car Shipping Guide

Cross country car shipping is common for relocations, online purchases, school moves, military moves, and seasonal travel. It saves mileage, time, and wear compared with driving the vehicle yourself.

Typical timing

Most coast-to-coast routes take roughly five to nine days in transit after pickup, depending on the exact lane, weather, and carrier schedule.

Popular routes

Major metro lanes like New York to Los Angeles and Boston to Miami tend to have more carrier activity than remote routes.

Open or enclosed?

Open transport is the standard choice. Choose enclosed transport for luxury, exotic, classic, or collector vehicles.

Booking tip

Book with enough pickup flexibility to avoid paying a premium for an urgent dispatch window.
