Car transport, or vehicle transport, is the service of moving cars from one destination to another. MyProMovers works with only the best auto-freight companies to provide the best-in-class customer service and convenient perks like door-to-door pickup and delivery, fast turnaround times and affordable car shipping quotes.
The most cost-effective way to ship a car is via open transport, which is how most of our customers ship their autos. These car trailers are open, which are much like the ones you can often see on the road. If the car you're shipping is your daily-driver, open shipping is the way to go. If you're moving a classic, vintage or restored vehicle you will likely opt for enclosed transport, which protects your vehicle from the elements during its journey to your new home. Generally, enclosed transport is about 50% to twice as expensive as open transport. We usually recommend open transport to our customers to help save you money on your next long distance move.
Seasonality is a big factor in car shipping pricing. Generally, the cost increases in the Winter as the snowbirds make their way down South for the colder months. Costs can also increase in the Summer months as demand creeps back up and many people take the opportunity to move in good weather. Off-peak moving can save you hundreds if you time it right, and book your car move as early as possible.
Car shipping costs around $1.96/mile for short distances, less than 500 miles, or at least $600 for a 300-mile trip. Medium distances can run about $0.93/mile (500-1500 miles) or just under $950 for 1,000 miles. Long distances, greater than 1500 miles can be around $0.60/mile. There are many factors that go into the cost to ship your car, such as the current demand for shippers and the distance and route your car must travel. The make, model and condition of your car are also factored in.
The majority of vehicles will be picked up within 1-5 business days of your first available date. Your vehicle will be taken on a shared freight carrier, and our car shipping partners need this time to schedule your pickup along with the other cars on your route.
You pay nothing today or when you lock in your price. Once we schedule and dispatch a carrier to your home, we provide you with the estimated delivery dates and charge a small down payment on your credit card. The remaining balance is paid to your driver on delivery via credit card or certified funds.
You are allowed up to 100 pounds of personal belongings in the storage area of your automobile. The front cab and other parts of your vehicle should be empty. Our freight carriers do not have license or insurance to ship household goods across state lines.
The Department of Transportation's Motor Carrier Division requires insurance for all carries shipping vehicles. Your car carrier will have a minimum of $250,000 cargo and $750,000 in general liability insurance coverage. On pickup, your drive will note every ding scratch and dent on your automobile and take pictures. Upon delivery, these notes will be presented and any new dings, dents or scratches should be annotated on that form upon delivery, which is to be signed by both parties.

Great experience with MyProMovers Rockville! They were super professional and very friendly. They made a move we were stressed about a breeze!
Santiago, Edwin and Dan were amazingly professional, kind, and efficient in loading my dads furniture onto the truck we had rented. They were wizards in getting as much as possible on the truck. We were amazed. Thanks guys, for your hard work!
Adrian and team was awesome. Very fast and very efficient.
Andrey and Axel helped me move today. They did a great job! They estimated it would take 6 hours with all the snow, ice and packing conditions. I ended up packing everything up myself so they moved everything in 3 hours.
Hugo and his crew did an amazing job moving my couch. The company was more than accommodating with my schedule.
I have moved with this team three times now and I never had any complains. They are puntual and very efficient. None of my stuff was misplaced or broken. They went above and beyond to make all the three moves successful. Thank you MyProMovers!
Accurately quoted and reasonably priced. Very quick and helpful. Would use again.
Andres and his crew did a great job moving our belongings from our storage unit 3 states
From scheduling the appointment to the crew showing up and moving my safe, everything went smooth. The crew was very professional, courteous and careful while moving the safe, which is extremely heavy. Would 100% use them again
FANTASTIC SERVICE Everything done in 2 hours I was really expecting longer & They placed everything so neatly they were super nice & professional I definitely had to tip well. Highly recommended to anyone needing to move
They were careful and did everything they could to ensure the move went smoothly. The tree arrived to its destination without losing one leaf. It is extremely heavy as well and had the right equipment and staff to move this properly.
MyProMovers moved a hot tub for me, on my property. They responded to my inquiry immediately, were at my house to move it within a week, and did a great job at a reasonable price. The guys showed up on time, were careful with the move, and had it done in 45 min. No issues.
