Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship a car across the country
Nationwide auto transport pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, transport method (open or enclosed), and current carrier availability along your route. Use the instant quote tool above to get an accurate, no-obligation price for your specific pickup and delivery ZIP codes.
How long does nationwide car shipping take?
Transit time depends on distance and route density — coast-to-coast shipments typically take longer than regional moves. Your exact pickup window and estimated delivery date are confirmed when you book your slot with our logistics team.
What's the difference between open and enclosed auto transport?
Open transport ships your vehicle on a multi-car, open-air carrier — it’s the most common and cost-effective option for everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport uses a fully covered trailer that shields your vehicle from weather and road debris, recommended for exotic, luxury, and classic vehicles.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every shipment is covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance for the full duration of transport. Ask your logistics specialist for the specific coverage certificate for your carrier before pickup.
Do I need to prepare my car before pickup?
Yes — remove personal items, disable toll tags and alarms, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Your driver completes a detailed inspection at both pickup and delivery to document your vehicle’s condition.
Does DQ Trans ship to Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico?
Yes — vehicles shipped to Hawaii and Alaska move by ocean carrier in coordination with port partners, while Puerto Rico shipments are coordinated door-to-port. Contact our team for route-specific timelines and requirements.
