No-nonsense pricing: every quote is accurate and final, with no hidden charges or surprise fees, and verified carrier insurance rolled into the quote’s total

Open car transport: you’ve seen the double-decker tractor-trailers that deliver cars to dealerships, and that’s what open car transport is. Your vehicle shares the ride with several others for more efficient routing; while it does leave your car exposed to weather, it’s the most cost-effective system for cross country car transport. 

Enclosed car transport: for a rare, fragile or very expensive car, you might want extra protection and security, and enclosed car transport is a perfect choice. Your vehicle will be loaded into a closed trailer and locked in, protecting it on all four sides against weather, vandalism or curious passersby. Enclosed car transport does come at an enhanced cost, and availability of drivers and trucks can be scarcer .

Cross country car transport: hauling vehicles on long-distance runs can get expensive, since cost/mile is a big part of calculating a quote. Cost/mile goes down on longer runs, though, making cross country car transport an excellent value. 

Guarantee pickup: we respect your time, and nobody wants to wait around for their transport driver to show up. We guarantee pickup at a specified time and date, and the same applies for delivery to your car’s destination as well. 

White-glove Handling: This service offers a maximum level of special handling of your vehicle during transit. Ideal for owners of high-value vehicles like luxury or vintage models, we’ll provide you with premium services like regular check-ins during the transportation process, additional tracking features, and special handling.

Remember that curb weight is a big part of quote calculations for any vehicle shipping company. Fuel weighs about six pounds per gallon; if you can ship your car with a quarter tank of fuel or less, it can save weight and save you money. 

Please inspect your car for any fluid leaks, including motor oil, brake fluid, power steering or transmission fluid. 

Give your car a good wash job; you’ll be asked to perform an inspection (as will the driver), and it’d be easier to spot dings or scrapes on a clean exterior. 

Don’t forget the transport driver will need a copy of your ignition key. 

Don’t forget to get the driver’s mobile phone number. 

Be sure your car’s headlights and taillights work, and that all four tires are inflated and the battery is charged up. 

If your car isn’t in running order, let us know in advance - we do ship non-running cars, but special arrangements have to be made. 

Here are some of the biggest reasons for hiring SGT Auto Transport as your Rhode Island car shipping company:

At SGT Auto Transport, we’re all car people ourselves. We understand the connection between vehicles and their owners, one that goes far beyond the car’s Blue Book resale value. 

That’s why we treat every vehicle like it belonged to one of us; you can expect careful and responsible handling for your car, at every turn. 

It’s all part of our customer-centric approach: we want every customer to feel valued and as appreciated as if they were one of our own team.

We have a team of 26,000 professional transport drivers who are ready to serve you, all carefully vetted with the proper certifications, licensing, insurance, permits and documentation. 

We take advantage of the latest in logistics and management technology, and it’s all toward one goal: ensuring a great customer experience, the kind that will make you want to come back to SGT Auto Transport when you need a Rhode Island car shipping company. 

Rhode Island might be the smallest state in America, but unfortunately, it has hefty taxes. State and local taxes are 25% higher than the US average. Property tax is also one of the highest.

Rhode Island is the second-most densely populated state. This density can lead to traffic congestion and overcrowding.

After moving to the state, you have 30 days to get a RI driver’s license. You also have to register an out-of-state vehicle within 30 days of arriving.

If you’re new to the state, the weather may take some getting used to. It can swing in every direction and is often termed as ‘moody’. Winters are cold, snowy, and far from mild. Early spring tends to register the most amount of rainfall. Summers switch between warm and hot. In the fall, the weather turns around and is pleasantly comfortable.

The job market in Rhode Island has been improving over the last few years and seems to be continuing on an upward trend. The current unemployment rate hovers around the 3-4% mark, which matches the national average.
