Cross-Country Car Shipping

Coast to Coast Without the Drive

A coast-to-coast drive is around 2,500 to 3,000 miles. That is several days behind the wheel, nights in hotels and a long list of fuel stops. Shipping the vehicle lets you fly there in an afternoon.

We assign a licensed long-haul carrier for your route, confirm your pickup window and keep you updated until the vehicle is delivered to your door.

Good to Know

Cross-Country Car Shipping Questions

Answers to what customers ask about this service.

How long does cross-country car shipping take?
Coast-to-coast trips usually take a week or more on the road, depending on the route, weather and other stops. We give you an estimate at dispatch.
Is it better to drive or ship across the country?
Driving means fuel, hotels, meals, days of your time and thousands of miles on the vehicle. Many people find shipping costs about the same or less once those are added up.
Can I put belongings in the car for a move?
It is best to ship the vehicle empty. Carrier insurance covers the vehicle, not its contents.
Does my car go on one truck the whole way?
Usually, yes. The carrier that picks up your vehicle is normally the one that delivers it.
