Frequently Asked Questions About Car Shipping Rates
Q1: How much does it cost to ship a car?
Car shipping costs typically range from $500 to $2,100+,
depending on distance, vehicle type, transport method, and
market conditions. Shorter routes and standard vehicles cost
less, while long distances, larger vehicles, or enclosed transport
increase the price.
Q2: Are your car shipping rates guaranteed?
Our quotes are market-based and transparent. Once a carrier is
assigned and the order is confirmed, your rate is locked in—no
hidden fees or surprise charges.
Q3: Do you charge hidden fees?
No. At Truthful Transport, we believe in honest pricing. All costs
are clearly explained upfront, including fuel, carrier pay, and
transport type.
Q4: Is open or enclosed transport better?
Open transport is the most affordable and commonly used option,
ideal for standard vehicles.
Enclosed transport offers added protection and is recommended
for luxury, classic, exotic, or high-value vehicles.
Your budget and vehicle type will determine the best option.
Q5: Does vehicle size affect the shipping price?
Yes. Larger and heavier vehicles like SUVs, trucks, vans, and lifted
vehicles cost more to ship because they take up additional space
and add weight to the carrier.
Q6: Can you ship inoperable vehicles?
Yes. Inoperable vehicles can be shipped but require special
equipment, which may increase the cost. Be sure to let us know if
your vehicle does not run.

Transit times vary by distance and route:
•
Short distances: 1–3 days
•
Mid-range routes: 3–6 days
•
Cross-country shipments: 7–10 days
Exact timing depends on carrier availability, weather, and traffic
conditions.

Yes. All carriers in our network are licensed, bonded, and fully
insured. Your vehicle is protected from pickup to delivery.

transport, offering volume discounts, dedicated lanes, and repeat-
