Short local moves often cost more per mile than long trips because the carrier's loading time and fixed costs are spread over fewer miles. Long-distance moves cost more in total but less per mile.

We pick up every day in major metros including Houston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia and Seattle, plus smaller cities and rural areas in all 50 states. Browse all car shipping by state.

• Verify the USDOT and MC numbers on FMCSA SAFER
• Ask whether they're a broker or a carrier, and who will actually haul the car
• Confirm the carrier's cargo insurance covers your car's value
• Avoid companies that demand full payment upfront

A company with a local office isn't necessarily the one that will move your car. Most auto shipping companies — local or national — book your car with an independent carrier running your route. What matters is whether the company:

• Holds active FMCSA authority you can verify
• Gives a firm written price with fuel and insurance included
• Has carriers covering your area regularly
• Communicates clearly from booking to delivery

Not every move is cross-country. Local and short-distance car transport is useful when:

• A car doesn't run and needs to go to a shop or a new home
• You bought a car a few hours away and can't drive it back
• A car isn't registered or insured for the road
• You're moving within a state and don't have a second driver

Short trips have a higher per-mile cost, but they're often still cheaper than a tow truck for longer local distances. See long-distance towing and inoperable vehicle transport.

If you live outside a big metro area, we can still pick up at your door, but it may take a little longer to schedule a carrier. To speed things up and lower the price, consider meeting the driver in a nearby town near the interstate. Read car shipping rates by state to see how location affects pricing.

Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes in the car shipping calculator for an instant, all-inclusive estimate, or call 1-888-706-8784. Typical ShipMyCar US open-carrier pricing for a sedan runs $400–$750 under 500 miles and $700–$1,050 for 500–1,000 miles.

You enter your address, we match your car with a carrier already running through your area, and the driver comes to you — usually within one to five days in metro areas. The driver calls ahead, inspects the car with you, loads it and delivers it to your destination. You never need to drop the car at a terminal unless you choose to.

• Choose a spot where a large truck can stop safely, such as a wide street or parking lot.
• Have keys and a photo ID ready.
• Remove toll tags and personal items.
• Keep your phone on so the driver can reach you.
