Transit times depend on distance. Regional shipments (under 500 miles) typically take 2-4 days. Cross-country shipments usually take 7-10 days.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?

Yes, someone 18+ must be present to release the vehicle at pickup and inspect it at delivery.

What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?

Open transport uses standard car haulers and is more affordable. Enclosed transport provides weather protection and is ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles.

You can leave up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk, but they are not covered by carrier insurance. Nothing should be visible in the cabin.
