Open Carrier Auto Transport

Look at the highway on any given Tuesday, and you'll see these massive 80-foot rigs loaded with cars. This is the industry standard. Dealerships use them to move brand-new inventory off the factory line. Open car shipping is easily the most popular option we offer because it’s fast and cost-effective. Your vehicle shares the ride with up to nine other cars, spreading the driver's fuel and labor costs out. Yes, your car might arrive with a little highway dust or rain spots, but structurally, it’s incredibly secure.

Enclosed & Premium Car Shipping

Got a pristine 1969 Mustang or a brand-new Porsche 911? You don't want that sitting on an open trailer behind a semi-truck kicking up gravel. Enclosed car shipping puts your vehicle inside a hard-sided, weather-proof box. These specialized trailers utilize hydraulic lift gates to load cars completely flat. If your car has two inches of ground clearance, the lift gate ensures the front splitter never scrapes the ramp. Once those heavy metal doors shut, your paint job is completely isolated from the outside world.

Expedited & Same-Day Auto Transport

Sometimes life throws a curveball. A sudden job transfer or a last-minute vehicle purchase means you don't have two weeks to wait for a standard dispatch window. Expedited car shipping cuts the line. We aggressively incentivize top-tier drivers to alter their routes and grab your car first. It costs a bit more to secure that priority loading slot, usually within 24 to 48 hours, but the peace of mind is worth it when you're racing the clock.

Door-to-Door Vehicle Delivery

Nobody wants to drive three hours to a dusty freight terminal to pick up their car. Our door-to-door car shipping service literally brings the truck to your street. Here is the one catch: an 18-wheeler cannot physically navigate narrow cul-de-sacs or streets with low-hanging oak trees. If your neighborhood is tight, the driver will call you and arrange to meet at the nearest big-box store parking lot (like a Target or Home Depot) so they can safely drop the loading ramps.

Vehicles We Ship: From Daily Drivers to Heavy Duty

From standard sedans to massive utility trucks, if it has wheels, we can probably get it across the country.

Sedans, SUVs & Pickup Trucks

This makes up the bulk of our daily freight. Standard sedans get the absolute lowest rates because they take up minimal space and weight on the trailer. But trucks and SUVs are getting bigger every year. A lifted Ford F-250 or an extended-wheelbase Suburban eats up a massive amount of cubic space. Because commercial haulers have strict Department of Transportation (DOT) weight limits, moving these beasts requires specialized oversized vehicle transport logistics.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) & Hybrids

Here's a reality check most people don't know: EVs are incredibly heavy. A Tesla or a Rivian carries a massive lithium-ion battery pack that makes it weigh up to 1,500 pounds more than a gas-powered car of the exact same size. That weight disparity drastically impacts how a driver balances their trailer. We flag EVs immediately in our system, ensuring your electric car is assigned to a heavy-duty carrier specifically rated to handle dense loads safely.

Classic, Antique & Exotic Cars

You simply cannot strap down a vintage restoration the same way you strap down a 2015 Honda Civic. High-value assets demand extreme care. Through our dedicated classic car shipping and premium exotic car shipping networks, drivers use ultra-soft nylon wheel straps. They never throw chains over the axles or touch the suspension components, ensuring your investment stays in showroom condition.

Motorcycles, ATVs & Powersports

A standard car hauler isn't built to move a Harley-Davidson. Two-wheeled machines require completely different stabilizing hardware. We dispatch specialized rigs built exclusively for motorcycle shipping. Your bike gets strapped onto a dedicated pallet or placed in a custom crate, keeping it perfectly vertical during high-speed highway cornering. Got something bigger? We routinely handle heavy-duty RV shipping for the snowbird crowd heading south for the winter.

Years of Proven Excellence

Why Choose AG Car Shipping? 10 Years of Proven Excellence

Trust isn’t something you can buy. You earn it by delivering on your promises, mile after mile.

10+ Years of Industry Experience

We aren't a fly-by-night startup run out of someone's basement. Our dispatchers know the harsh realities of the road. We know exactly which mountain passes in Colorado freeze over in January and which interstates in Atlanta bottleneck every Friday afternoon. Take a minute to learn more about us and see how a decade of actual, on-the-ground logistics experience makes a massive difference in your move.

100% Fully Insured & Bonded Carriers

We are ruthless about compliance. Every single truck driver in our network is required to carry active, high-limit cargo insurance. If a driver’s policy lapses, our software instantly locks them out of our load boards. Before we even send a driver to your house, we pull their operating authority directly from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). You hold absolutely zero liability while your vehicle is in transit.

Locked-In Rate Promise (No Bait & Switch)

We mentioned it earlier, but it bears repeating. We hate the bait-and-switch pricing model. The quote we provide is built on real market data. When you sign the contract, that rate is locked in stone.

Nationwide Network of 20,000+ Vetted Haulers

Our logistics network stretches across all fifty states. During the fall and spring, we run massive volume down the East Coast, connecting New York to Florida. We dominate the heavy western corridors moving tech workers across California and Texas. We even hub a massive amount of midwestern freight right out of Illinois. Bottom line? If you need to ship a car to another state, we likely have a vetted driver sitting within fifty miles of your driveway right now.

How Our Seamless Car Shipping Process Works

Moving a car seems incredibly complex from the outside, but we’ve stripped away the friction. Here’s the breakdown. (Want to completely geek out on the logistics? Read our deep dive on how does car shipping work).

Next-Generation GPS Tracking & 24/7 Dedicated Support

Losing track of a sixty-thousand-dollar asset will give anyone gray hair. We kill that anxiety with hyper-aggressive communication. Commercial haulers use Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) that allow our dispatchers to pinpoint their physical location. If a truck blows a tire outside of Omaha, we know about it.

And when you call us? You don’t get trapped in an endless automated phone tree. You talk to a dedicated logistics specialist who can pull up your file and give you a straight answer immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Auto Transport

How much does it cost to ship a car in 2026?

Moving a standard sedan on an open trailer generally runs between $600 and $1,200. That final number shifts based on total mileage, current diesel prices, seasonal demand spikes, and the physical weight of your vehicle.

How long does it actually take to transport a vehicle state-to-state?

Heavy haulers average about 400 to 500 miles a day safely. A massive coast-to-coast run from New York to California usually takes 7 to 10 days. Shorter regional hops typically finish up in 2 to 4 days.

Is my car fully insured while in transit with AG Car Shipping?

Absolutely. We verify that every single carrier holds active, mandatory cargo insurance. Your vehicle is completely covered against transit damage from the second its tires hit the loading ramp until you sign the delivery paperwork.

Do I need to be present for the pickup and delivery of my car?

Yes. You, or a trusted person over the age of 18, must physically be there. Someone has to do the walk-around inspection, sign the legal Bill of Lading, and actually hand the keys to the driver.

Can I put personal items or luggage in my car during auto transport?

Drivers will usually allow up to 100 pounds of soft personal items secured in the trunk. But be warned: the DOT strictly prohibits packing the cabin full of heavy boxes, and the truck’s cargo insurance will absolutely never cover your personal belongings if they get lost or damaged.

What is the exact difference between open and enclosed auto transport?

Open transport is exactly what it sounds like—your car sits on an exposed, multi-level trailer and shares the ride with the elements. Enclosed transport locks your vehicle inside a solid-wall trailer, offering zero exposure to weather, road debris, or dust.

How far in advance should I book my auto transport order?

We highly recommend locking in your order two to three weeks before your ideal pickup date. This gives our dispatchers maximum leverage to hunt down the best possible rate before the clock runs out and panic booking sets in.

Do you offer guaranteed pickup or delivery dates for urgent moves?

We offer expedited shipping to target highly specific loading windows. However, because a truck driver is always battling real-world traffic, weigh station delays, and severe weather, delivery dates are always strong estimates rather than absolute guarantees.

What happens if my car is damaged during the shipping process?

Don’t panic. You must immediately note the specific damage on the Bill of Lading before you sign it and before the driver leaves. Once it’s documented, we walk you step-by-step through filing a direct claim against the carrier’s commercial policy.

How do I properly prepare my vehicle before the transport driver arrives?

Run it through the car wash so the driver can actually see the paint to document existing scratches. Pull off your EZ-Pass or toll transponders, retract the antenna, and run the gas tank down to a quarter full to strip away unnecessary weight.
