I shipped my car from Champaign IL to Seattle WA and the experience was top notch. They did a great job in the communication and my driver took great care of my car. He even helped jump start it when its to too cold that the battery refused to start. The car arrived in time and in great shape. So, totally worth the 5 stars rating 😍

I have used ship a car direct now for the second time and both times everything about the experience was excellent. David was extremely helpful on both occasions and each time the car was picked up and delivered exactly on time in the exact same condition as when picked up.
If I could rate them 10 stars I would!
Awesome experience with Jennifer. Shipped a car from Los Angeles, CA to Champaign, IL. Car arrived in 3 days in perfect condition. The driver was amazing, great communication! Initially I got bids from other companies, but they seem very shady. Ship a Car Direct was very honest, constantly communicated with me via email or text, ...and made a stressful process very easy. Thank you Jennifer! PS: The broker fee is standard across the industry; all brokers use the same marketplace system to find drivers so in the end, it's just about going with a person or company that you trust. Lots of brokers seem to be located NOT in the US; this company is in the US. Read more

What is Car Shipping?
Simply put, car shipping is the act of transporting a car from one location to another. Broadly speaking, car shipping can be done via any method, from boat to train to truck. That said, most domestic auto shipping companies move vehicles via tractor trailer. Not all car shipping companies are alike, though, and similarly, not all types of car shipping are alike, witih different methods providing different benefits for various types of customers with different needs. Let’s delve a little deeper below.
Types of Auto Transport Services
Car shipping is generally broken into two different types: open and enclosed.
During open auto transport, AKA open car shipping, a shipper will load as many as ten cars on either a flatbed trailer or, more commonly, a dual-level trailer. You’ve probably seen these types of trailers driving by you on the highway during long trips. Since most cars are exposed to the elements during daily driving and even overnight parking, this method of car shipping is the most common – and the most cost-effective.
Enclosed car shipping, on the other hand, is ideal if you’re looking to ship a collectible classic car, garaged vehicle with show-car paint and finishes, or exotic car. Think the level of vehicle you’d find at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car?
Prices for car shipping generally range from around $600 for open air transport below 500 miles to upwards of $1,800 for enclosed transport above 2,500 miles.
At the national average rate, the average cost to ship a car coast to coast is $1,650, according to Forbes.
Factors That Can Affect the Cost of Auto Transport
The cost to ship a car varies widely depending on what type of vehicle you’re shipping, how you’re shipping it, and how long you need it shipped (distance shipped). If you require expedited shipping or load your vehicle with a lot of extra weight, these things can also affect your final cost to ship. The time of the year also has an impact on the cost to ship your vehicle.
