Common Questions

Auto Transport, Answered

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Alabama?
Costs typically range from $350 for short regional moves to $1,800 for cross-country routes on open carriers. Price depends on distance, vehicle size, transport type, and season. Enclosed transport runs 60–80% more. Use the quote tool above for an exact price on your route.
How long does Alabama car shipping take?
Regional shipments to neighboring states take 1–3 days. Mid-range routes run 3–5 days, and cross-country shipments to the West Coast or Northeast take 7–10 days. Your dispatcher gives you a realistic window when you book.
Is door-to-door transport available where I live?
Yes. We pick up at your Alabama address and deliver to your destination address. For locations carriers can't physically reach — narrow streets or gated communities — we arrange a convenient nearby meeting point.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier in our network carries active FMCSA-required cargo insurance at no extra cost to you. Coverage certificates are provided before pickup and your vehicle is protected from pickup to delivery.
Can I ship a car that doesn't run?
Yes. Non-running vehicles require a winch-equipped carrier and a small surcharge (typically $100–$200). Just let us know at booking so we assign the right equipment.
When should I book my auto transport?
Booking 7–14 days in advance gives you the best combination of pricing and carrier availability. Summer and snowbird seasons book up faster, so earlier is better during peak times.
