Cross Country Car Shipping Services

from Across Country

SGT Transport was great from beginning of the process, to loading, to delivery of my non-running '69 Chevelle project car clear across the country. The driver, Mike, went above and beyond to ensure a successful and timely vehicle transport. I would highly recommend.

from across the country

Very timely delivering my classic mustang across the country.

from Across Country

Picked up my car on my actual street. Only took three days to get across country. When it arrived actually slightly too early the car shipping people suggested a drop off at a local dealership which was extremely convenient. No damage to the car whatsoever. Would 100% use again.

from Across Country

Not only was the price much better than other companies, the customer service of the dispatchers and the driver who took our car from Colorado to Maryland was great! Moving cross-country is so stressful and Gary our driver was just amazing. So sweet, so kind, and so accommodating. I would 100% choose and recommend SGT!

from Cross country

SGT was truly excellent in every aspect of my cross country car transport. I was worried because I had heard bad stories both online & from people I knew, so I did some research & landed with SGT. They answered all my questions, stuck to their price, and the guy who came and got the car was really nice. Then, when my car ended up needing to be delivered 6 hours before my plane touched down AND couldn’t be delivered to my home due to the roads being too narrow, the representative at SGT spoke in real time to the transport person, and they figured out a public shopping area near my new home where they could drop it off. They came up with a plan to lock the car with the key in it but took the battery out of my key so it would be safe and I could use my spare when I got there. They texted me the address, texted pics so I could see where it was parked, and when my plane landed, I Ubered right to it! Wow!!! My car was in perfect shape. Really Above and Beyond Customer Service!!! Thank you SGE and Khan Transport (who subcontracted for the actual transport). You were All Amazing!

from Cross country

The driver deliver our 2 vehicles across country in just 3 days. He brought the car to a location of our choice near the new city we're moving to. He was really friendly, helpful and responsive all of the time. I would reccomend to anyone who needs their auto transferred over.

from Cross country

SGT was exceptional! They picked up our car on the day promised, delivered with no issues! They were easy to deal with and the price was reasonable! We did a cross country move and they made it painless and worry free!

from Across Country

Service was excellent. The driver was professional. The pick-up was later than estimated so that was inconvenient. The drop off was a day earlier than scheduled. That was sudden and unexpected. Thankfully a relative was available for the handoff. Overall it was a good experienced!

from Across Country

I was concerned about shipping my 1969 MGB across the country. So many memories wrapped up in that ole gal! However, I found that not only did SGT share the process involved in transport but provided peace of mind that my old car would be in good hands. The carrier made contact with me and updated me as he was coming to my home. He did everything he said and ensured safe passage for my old car! It arrived in excellent condition.

from Cross country

Honestly, I was dreading looking for an auto transport company due to the nightmare stories I read online. SGT was very responsive and explained the process regarding the online cash discount. They were able to pick up the car in less than 12 hours and delivered the car across country in 72 hours. Very happy with the experience. Would definitely work with them again.

from Across Country

We were extremely happy with the service we received from SGT Auto Transport. from the first conversation with a sales manager to the time the car was delivered across the country, we only had positive experiences. The cost to transport the car across the country was reasonable. The car was picked up on the day we were told and was delivered within 6 days. There weren’t any hidden fees or extra costs than what I was initially quoted. I will absolutely use SGT Auto Transport again!

from Cross country

The entire team from coordination to delivery was very responsive. The pricing model was transparent with no hidden expenses. I still can't believe that it was this quick and easy to ship a vehicle across the country. I would not hesitate to Have SGT transport another vehicle for me in the future

from Across Country

SGT was very helpful when we had to transport our car across country. They were on time and the price was very reasonable. When we had to change the date they had no problem accommodating us. We will definitely be using them again!

from Riverview Fl to Delaware

I had to have a Toyota RAV 4 transported from Riverview Fl to Delaware. I am very grateful that I chose SGT. The driver was friendly, efficient and on time. He handled my vehicle with care. The vehicle arrived 24 hours later, exactly as stated. The delivery driver was just as friendly and efficient as the pickup driver. More important is that there was zero damage to my vehicle or any properties included. I highly recommend them to anyone considering cross country open transportation for their vehicle.

from Across Country

Logan was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He was proactive with the sharing of information on pricing, industry standards, and confident when speaking about SGT and how they compare to competitors.

He helped me make an informed decision and helped reduce my anxiety about shipping my vehicle across country.

from Cross country

I have shipped a car across country once a year for the last four years and have tried several transport companies. In 2023, I used SGT Auto Transport and was finally happy with a transport service. I used them again this year and again I was happy with the service. The communication and text updates are very helpful and convenient. The only item is that you have to wait for a date of pickup and that date is an estimate only. That can be a little hard to plan, but if you know that going in, it will be easy to plan for. Everything else is great. Including the option to pay with apps instead of cash. Our recent driver, Maris, was great to work with and very helpful. I recommend SGT for your transportation needs!! 👍🏻😊

from Across Country

Great service from start to finish! I transported my Toyota Camry from the West Coast across country. They took the time to explain pricing, pick up and delivery timelines. They were right on time! I highly recommend their services.

from Cross country

Vehicle was delivered cross country on the promised/estimated date. Vehicle was relatively clean and not damaged. Plus the drivers are friendly and professional. SGT is my go to auto shipper.

from Cross country

Car was picked up at the earliest date requested (you get a couple days window) which was great. It was on the way before I knew it. I recommend paying extra for top load (it is 100% worth it) as my car was clean upon arrival, even with all the rain. Car arrived within their estimated timeframe (earlier, actually) and the vehicle was being loaded off the truck when I arrived. Very easy to pay (use cash discount) via Zelle. Took me 5 mins to inspect my car and transfer the money. Delivery driver was very nice and professional. I will be using SGT for all of my shipping needs and would recommend anyone else to do the same. Very affordable compared to other companies and I shipped from SoCal to southern NC, quite literally across the country. 100% recommend.

from Across Country

My car came across the country in 4 days from the time of purchase until delivery. The operation was smooth without any problems!!!! I would recommend using sgt to anyone who is looking for a car to be delivered

from Cross country

They were easy to work with and delivered our car a day early. We were moving cross country and very stressed but they were very accommodating and professional. Their rate was competitive and the driver kept us updated. I wish all moving processes were this smooth!

from Across Country

5 stars for this company. My son's vehicle just arrived in West Virginia, six days after leaving eastern Washington. That is fast, especially given the recent cross Country weather conditions.
The vehicle arrived in as was condition and all of the contents were safe and secure.

From the first contact with the company to the time of the vehicle drop off communication with the sales department, the dispatch center while the vehicle was in transit, and with the driver, was easy and very professional.

The pricing for the distance of delivery was in line with the other three transportation companies I checked with and seemed fair.

This was the first time I have used a vehicle transportation company so I can't compare SGT's service to anything, but I am super happy with their service and must recommend them for first time vehicle transportation customers.

from Cross country

After reading many reviews online of all of the different car carriers I decided to go with this one.
From the first song call I made they were courteous, straightforward and I felt had a very good price for what they offered. They called me to set the appointment it was within the timeframe and more importantly I got my rig cross country in four days... Really nice work now issues whatsoever and I would definitely use them in the future.

from Across Country

I highly recommend SGT for auto transport. I contacted many similar companies and not only did SGT beat the price they also gave great service with excellent communication throughout the process. They found me a shipper right away and the entire cross country journey went smoothly.

from Cross country

SGT Auto did a great job transporting an employee's car cross country. On time and easy to arrange. I would use them again next time.

from Across Country

Monica helped me book an enclosed transport for my husband and I's cars for our cross country move. She got me the best price available for the service! So grateful for this company! I will update my review further after our cars are delivered.

from Cross country

This is the second time I’ve used this company for transporting my car across country. On both occasions the experience was flawless. Good communication, my car arrived 2 days ahead of time, and everything was easy. Highly recommend.

from Across Country

Tj was very professional, personable, and communicative. I felt very secure with him moving my car across country, along with several other vehicles. I really appreciate the work done by SGT. It was most reasonable as well.

How much does it cost to ship a car across the country

What is cross country car transport?

Cross country car transport is a service that allows you to move your car from point A to point B with ease. Whether city to city, state to state, coast to coast, or anywhere in between, possibilities abound. Your vehicle is picked up and loaded onto a trailer and delivered to your chosen location. All by an expert transportation specialist and all without any effort on your part.

How long does it take to ship a car across the country

How long does it take to ship a car across country?

The time it takes to move a car across country depends on several things. Shipping a car across the US can take from 1-9 calendar days, depending on the distance. Rest assured we do everything we can to ensure your car is shipped swiftly, efficiently, and with no delays.

Cross-country car shipping is door to door

Is cross country car transport door-to-door?

Yes, cross country vehicle shipping is door-to-door, as long as the locations you choose allow it. Terminal to terminal shipping is available for customers who can be physically present at pickup and delivery locations.

Alternative pick-up and delivery locations will need to be arranged if a location is deemed unsafe or inaccessible. The carrier will arrange a location as close to your door as possible.

What is the cheapest way to ship a car across country?

The cost to transport a car across country depends on how you choose to do it. Driving it yourself might seem like the cheapest way to ship a car across country, but there are additional costs to include. This includes fuel, hotel costs, and wear and tear to your vehicle.

The cheapest way by far is cross country auto transport. And there are countless transport options to make your cross country car transport surprisingly affordable.

What is the cost to ship a car across country?

Vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. Therefore, the average cost to ship a car across the country varies as well. However, there are several factors that directly affect the cost to ship a car across country. They include:

Make and model: Smaller vehicles cost less to transport than larger vehicles.
Distance traveled: Shorter distances cost less than longer distances.
Delivery time frame: If you want an expedited cross country auto transport service, the average cost is higher
Transport type: For owners of standard vehicles, open car transport is the best value option. On the other hand, you might be the owner of a classic, vintage, luxury, antique, expensive, or modified car. If this is the case, enclosed auto transport might be a better option because it offers added protection. The cost is a little higher but the added protection is worth it.
Vehicle condition: Vehicles that are operable cost less. Inoperable vehicles cost more because specialist loading and unloading equipment is necessary. This is often the case since the vehicle can’t be moved or modified. Similarly, common vehicles are often more affordable to transport than rare or classic cars.
Location: If you’re shipping between major cities, it costs less to transport a car across the country. Countryside auto transport can cost more because of the remote locations.
Time of the year: Shipping a car cross country is much cheaper during the summer. During the winter, dangerous road conditions increase the cost.
This list is not exhaustive. But it hopefully gives you an idea of the many factors that can affect the cost to ship a car cross country.

With these in mind, let’s take a look at an example of a case in which a customer wants to ship a car cross country:

Typically, the average price per mile of an open transport is around $0.80. This is the standard rate if the distance is less than 500 miles. So, for a 250-mile trip, your cost would be around $200.

The longer the trip, the lower the average price per mile. If shipping a car across the country a distance of 1000 miles, your average price per mile would be about $0.70. And these costs are reflective of a standard open auto transport carrier, bringing your total to $700.

Shipping a car across the country doesn’t need to be complex. But any reputable car carrier should be able to give you a detailed and broken down cost estimate.

Be wary of flat rates that don’t factor in distance, shipment type, or other important details. These are likely a bait and switch approach to get your attention. As you now know, to transport a car across the country, some due diligence is needed.

When seeking the cheapest means to ship a car across the country, each of the above factors matter, a smaller vehicle, in open transport, with flexible delivery times is going to be inherently cheaper than the alternatives.

How does shipping multiple cars across country work?

Shipping multiple cars across country works just the same as shipping a single car, however, it is generally done with an open truck and trailer. Arrangements are made to pick-up the cars, load them onto the trailer, and deliver them to your chosen location. For more information, speak with our shipping advisors to better understand how we approach shipping cars across the country.

You might like the sound of a road trip, but long hours spent behind the wheel can be stressful, tiring and dangerous. Cross country car transport is safer, cheaper, quicker, and more convenient than driving. You’re also saving on unnecessary mileage and wear and tear.

Several factors affect the time it takes to ship a car across the country. The most obvious one is distance. It’s bound to take longer to ship a car from Montana to Louisiana than Oklahoma to Mississippi. Also, if you want your car picked up or delivered to a remote location, it’ll take the driver longer to reach there compared to a city.

The number of stops the driver has to make along the way can also affect the timeframe. Weather conditions impact the speed at which we transport your vehicle. Heavy traffic, detours, and road construction might also hamper the carrier. One final factor that has an impact is driver’s hours. The Department of Transportation mandates that truck drivers can only be on the road legally for 70 hours each week. The reason for this is to ensure truck drivers are well-rested and safe to drive.

Distance	Avg. transit time (calendar days)
0 - 200 miles	1 - 2 days
200 - 600 miles	2 - 4 days
600 - 1000 miles	3 - 5 days
1000 - 1500 miles	4 - 6 days
1500 - 2000 miles	5 - 7 days
2000 - 2400 miles	6 - 8 days
2400+ miles	7 - 9 days

Up to 100lbs of personal items can be shipped in the trunk/cargo area of the vehicle being shipped. However, these items must be secured in a suitcase or a single box.

It is possible to load more personal items when you move your car across country, but you must provide the estimated weight when you make your cross country car transport booking. With this information, we’ll be able to calculate an all-inclusive price.

When you ship personal items in your car specific requirements must be followed. Both front seats and front seat floorboards must be empty and free of any personal items. The backseat and backseat floorboards must also be empty and free of any personal items. That is unless you’ve received an all-inclusive rate for items to be placed there.

According to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, items shipped outside of a vehicle on an open transport trailer are strictly forbidden. In an enclosed auto transport trailer, however, you can ship additional items such as an engine or transmission. They must be secured in a crate.

The above information doesn’t apply if you want to ship your vehicle to/from Hawaii. No personal items can be shipped inside the vehicle. If any items are found, the port will refuse the vehicle. The only exception to this rule is children’s car seats.

When will my car be picked up?

From the first available pick-up date, the standard car shipping pick-up window is between 1 to 4 business days. This is the date when your vehicle is ready to be picked up for cross country car transport.
