Planning a move? Bought a car in another state? Helping your kid get their car to college? Whatever the reason, car shipping from state to state can save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
Instead of spending days behind the wheel, dealing with gas stations, hotels, and unpredictable road conditions, you can hire a reliable auto transport service to handle everything for you.
What Is Car Shipping from State to State?
Car shipping from state to state involves hiring a licensed auto transport company to move your vehicle from one U.S. state to another. Your car is loaded onto a trailer—either open or enclosed—and transported safely to your destination.
This service is popular with:
- People relocating for work or family
- College students moving out of state
- Military relocations (PCS moves)
- Online car buyers or sellers
- Snowbirds traveling seasonally
How the Process Works
- Request a Quote
Give us your car details, pickup and delivery locations, and preferred timeframe. - Book the Shipment
Once you’re ready, we assign a vetted carrier to your order. - Vehicle Pickup
The carrier contacts you ahead of time, inspects the vehicle, and loads it up. - In Transit
The driver moves your car across state lines—usually takes 1 to 7 days depending on the route. - Delivery
Once the car arrives, you inspect it, sign the paperwork, and you’re all set.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing for car shipping from state to state depends on:
- Distance between states
- Vehicle type (sedan, SUV, truck, etc.)
- Time of year (summer and holidays are peak season)
- Open vs. enclosed transport
- Urban vs. rural pickup/drop-off locations
💰 Average Cost: $500 – $1,200 for most state-to-state routes
