How to Choose the Best Car Shipping Company

The auto transport industry still has bad actors: the BBB logged 1,081 complaints against auto transporters in 2024, and more than a third went unresolved (BBB 2024 data). Check these six things before you hand over your keys.

  • Verify MC and DOT numbers. Search them in FMCSA’s records and confirm the status reads “Authorized.” Ours: USDOT 4467995, MC 1763030.
  • Know broker vs. carrier. Carriers drive the truck; brokers like Haulin match you with one and must hold a $75,000 federal bond. Always ask which carrier is assigned. How auto transport works
  • Check insurance coverage. Ask for the carrier’s insurance certificate and make sure the cargo limit covers your car’s value. Valuable car? Choose enclosed transport.
  • Read the deposit policy. Avoid large upfront payments before a carrier is assigned. Haulin charges nothing until dispatch; you pay the balance to the driver at delivery.
  • Know guaranteed vs. estimated pricing. Estimates move with fuel, season and demand; only a written lock is a guarantee. See how your quote is calculated.
  • Spot red flags. A quote far below market usually means no carrier takes the load and the price climbs later. Also skip companies with no MC number or that ask for wire or gift-card payment.

This matters because the industry still has bad actors. BBB’s 2024 complaint data shows the scale of the problem. The Better Business Bureau recorded 1,081 complaints against auto transporters and drive-away companies in 2024, with more than a third left unresolved.

Haulin works to be the best car shipping company for your move by doing this vetting for you. We ship only with carriers that are licensed and insured, and we verify each one against DOT records. Tessa then scores every carrier on real performance data like on-time pickup rates and cancellation history.

Haulin Coverage

State-to-state shipping, always transparent pricing

We ship cars between all 48 contiguous states every day. Tell us where your car is and where it needs to go, and Tessa checks live carrier availability on that exact route to price it in about 30 seconds. Your quote includes transport, fuel, insurance and door-to-door service, with no hidden fees added later.

How long state-to-state shipping takes

Distance

Typical transit time

Example route

Under 500 miles

1–3 days

New Jersey to Pennsylvania

500–1,500 miles

2–6 days

Illinois to Florida

1,500+ miles (cross-country)

6–10 days

California to Florida

Transit starts at pickup, not at booking. Drivers cover roughly 400–500 miles a day and make other stops along the way. Planning a long move? Read how to ship a car cross country.

What changes the price between states

Busy interstate lanes between big metros, like Texas to Florida, have more trucks and usually cost less per mile. Rural pickups, mountain routes and remote towns need a carrier to detour, which adds time and cost. Longer trips cost more overall but less per mile.

Seasonal routes to know

Each fall, snowbirds send thousands of cars south from the Northeast and Midwest to Florida, Arizona and Texas, then back north in spring. Book 2–3 weeks ahead in October–December and March–May. Shipping against the flow, like Florida to New York in November, often costs less. See snowbird car shipping.

Auto Shipping Process

3 Simple steps to ship
your vehicle

Haulin.ai website image - 01 1

Quote

Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes, your vehicle's year, make and model, whether it runs, and your first available pickup date. Choose open or enclosed transport. That's it. Tessa checks live carrier rates on your route and shows an all-inclusive price in about 30 seconds, covering transport, fuel, insurance and door-to-door service.

02

Book

Like the price? Confirm your addresses, contact details and pickup window, usually a 1–3 day range starting on your first available date. Your driver calls ahead to set an exact pickup time. Flexible by a day or two? That often gets you a faster match and a better rate.

03

Track

At pickup, you and the driver inspect the car together and record any existing scratches or dents on the Bill of Lading, the signed condition report for your shipment. Leave ¼–½ tank of fuel, disable toll tags, and keep personal items under 100 lbs in the trunk. Tessa sends updates at every key step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Car shipping costs typically range from $500 to $1,500 depending on distance, vehicle type, and transport method. Short distances (under 500 miles) average $1-$2 per mile, while cross-country shipping averages $0.50-$0.75 per mile. Our AI instantly calculates your exact price based on your specific route, current carrier availability, and vehicle details—with no hidden fees. Get your free quote in just 30 seconds.

Your quote includes full door-to-door transport, driver's fees, fuel, insurance coverage, and standard handling. If you choose extras like enclosed or guaranteed pick-up, those are itemized before you book.

It depends on the route. Short trips may take 1-3 days, while cross-country deliveries can take up to 10 days. Tessa will provide you with a custom timeline when you book and send updates as your vehicle progresses.

It's easy. Simply enter a few details, receive your instant quote, and schedule your pickup. Our AI matches your car with the best carrier, and Tessa keeps you informed every step of the way. No phone calls or paperwork are required.

Yes. The carrier’s cargo insurance covers every shipment. You’ll also get a detailed inspection report at pick-up and drop-off. If you have extra questions about coverage, just ask Tessa. 

Absolutely. If you let us know the condition upfront, we’ll arrange a carrier with the right equipment. There may be a small additional charge for special loading, but we’ll always let you know beforehand. 

Tessa is your intelligent auto transport assistant. Available 24/7 via chat or voice, she can answer questions, check your status, and instantly guide you through the shipping process. 

Open transport: Your vehicle ships on an open-air trailer (like you see on highways). Costs 30-40% less than enclosed. Safe for most vehicles—carriers transport thousands of cars this way daily.

Enclosed transport: Your vehicle ships in a covered trailer, protected from weather and road debris. Recommended for luxury, classic, or exotic vehicles worth $75,000+. Costs $300-$700 more than open transport.

Our AI shows you both options with exact pricing so you can decide.

Unlike traditional brokers who manually call carriers (and mark up prices), our AI instantly analyzes 15,000+ vetted carriers to find:
- Who's already traveling your route (reducing empty backhaul costs)
- Current fuel prices and seasonal demand
- Carrier availability and ratings
- Optimal pickup/delivery timing

This real-time analysis gets you transparent, competitive pricing in seconds—often 10-20% lower than traditional broker quotes. You see actual carrier bids, not inflated estimates.

A trustworthy car shipping company is registered with the FMCSA and displays a visible MC number. It also works only with licensed, insured carriers. Haulin ships exclusively with DOT-verified carriers, and Tessa scores each one on real performance data before matching it to your shipment.

Verify the company's MC or USDOT number in FMCSA's SAFER system before you book, and avoid any transporter that will not show its MC number. Be cautious of quotes far below the market, since a bait-and-switch often follows. A legitimate carrier gives you a written price and proof of insurance up front.

Open transport is the most affordable option, and it costs less than enclosed transport because carriers move several vehicles at once. To keep the price down, get an instant quote and ship on flexible dates. That lets Tessa match you with a carrier already running your route.
