How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?
Unlike competitors who rely on instant computer-generated estimates that are wrong 70-80% of the time, every Scott's quote is reviewed by a live transport expert. We calculate time, distance, and market conditions for a real price.
Trip Distance
Longer routes generally cost more, but the per-mile rate decreases with distance -- making cross-country moves more affordable than you think.
Vehicle Size
Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks take up more carrier space. Non-running vehicles require winch loading which adds to the cost.
Transport Type
Open transport is the most affordable option. Enclosed carriers provide extra protection for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles.
Seasonal Demand
Snowbird season (Oct-Mar) sees higher volumes on southern routes. Booking early helps secure the best rates during peak times.
Average cost: $0.50 - $1.50 per mile
Depending on distance, vehicle type, and transport method

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about car shipping. Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is available 24/7 to help.
Unlike competitors whose instant estimates are wrong about 70-80% of the time, our quotes are carefully examined by one of our expert auto transport agents. We calculate the time, range, and mileage necessary to give you a real quote that will not change when you call. Every quote is backed by our Price Lock Guarantee.
Although conditions specific to your situation factor into an accurate quote, there are four main factors we consider: the distance from origin to destination, the size and condition of the vehicle (whether it's running or inoperable), special options like enclosed transport or expedited service, and the number of vehicles being shipped. On average, most customers pay between $0.50 and $1.50 per mile.
We work around your schedule instead of you working around ours. Your needs come first — your convenience is our priority. We offer 24/7 pickup availability, including late-night and weekend pickups. Most vehicles are picked up within 1-3 business days of booking.
We can guarantee pickup dates. However, since anything can happen on the road (weather, traffic, mechanical issues), no one in the auto transport industry can honestly guarantee delivery dates. That said, we provide realistic delivery windows and keep you updated with proactive communication every step of the way.
Absolutely. Every carrier in our network is required to carry a minimum of $750,000 in cargo insurance. We are bonded and insured by Pacific Financial Association Inc and fully licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (MC #707909). You'll receive proof of insurance before your vehicle is loaded.
Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option — your vehicle is loaded on an open-air carrier alongside other vehicles. It's safe, reliable, and used for about 90% of all car shipments. Enclosed transport uses a fully covered trailer that shields your vehicle from weather, road debris, and exposure. It's ideal for luxury, classic, exotic, or high-value vehicles.
Yes. We regularly transport non-running, inoperable, and salvage vehicles. Our carriers are equipped with winches and forklifts to safely load vehicles that don't start, steer, or roll. There may be an additional fee depending on the specific equipment needed.
We offer a full refund if we have not yet dispatched a carrier to the pickup location. Once a carrier has been assigned and is en route, a cancellation fee may apply. We always recommend reaching out to our team as early as possible if your plans change.
