Cross-Country Car Shipping

    Reliable coast-to-coast auto transport with door-to-door service across America

    What Is Cross-Country Car Shipping?

    Cross-country car shipping involves transporting your vehicle long distances across the United States, typically 1,500 miles or more. This service is ideal for coast-to-coast moves, relocations between distant states, or transporting vehicles purchased from across the country.

    Instead of driving thousands of miles (which adds wear, mileage, and risk to your vehicle), professional carriers handle the long-distance transport safely and efficiently. You avoid exhausting road trips, hotel costs, wear and tear, and potential breakdowns while your vehicle arrives at your destination in the same condition it left.

    Cross-Country Shipping Costs

    Cross-country shipping costs vary based on distance, route, and transport method:

    Open Transport (Most Popular)

    Cross-country open transport typically costs $900-$1,500. East Coast to West Coast averages $1,200-$1,500. Midwest to coast averages $900-$1,200. Per-mile rates decrease on longer distances.

    Enclosed Transport (Premium)

    Enclosed cross-country shipping costs $1,200-$2,000 or more. Ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles requiring maximum protection during long-distance transport.

    Cost-Saving Factors

    Popular routes (like I-80, I-40, I-10 corridors) typically cost less due to higher carrier availability. Flexible pickup/delivery dates, open transport, and booking in advance help reduce costs.

    Compare to Driving Costs

    Driving 3,000 miles costs $300-$500 in gas, plus $200-$400 in hotels, meals, wear and tear, and time. Professional shipping is often comparable in cost while being far more convenient and safe.
