Car transport, or vehicle transport, is the service of moving cars from one destination to another. MyProMovers works with only the best auto-freight companies to provide the best-in-class customer service and convenient perks like door-to-door pickup and delivery, fast turnaround times and affordable car shipping quotes.
The most cost-effective way to ship a car is via open transport, which is how most of our customers ship their autos. These car trailers are open, which are much like the ones you can often see on the road. If the car you're shipping is your daily-driver, open shipping is the way to go. If you're moving a classic, vintage or restored vehicle you will likely opt for enclosed transport, which protects your vehicle from the elements during its journey to your new home. Generally, enclosed transport is about 50% to twice as expensive as open transport. We usually recommend open transport to our customers to help save you money on your next long distance move.
Seasonality is a big factor in car shipping pricing. Generally, the cost increases in the Winter as the snowbirds make their way down South for the colder months. Costs can also increase in the Summer months as demand creeps back up and many people take the opportunity to move in good weather. Off-peak moving can save you hundreds if you time it right, and book your car move as early as possible.
Car shipping costs around $1.96/mile for short distances, less than 500 miles, or at least $600 for a 300-mile trip. Medium distances can run about $0.93/mile (500-1500 miles) or just under $950 for 1,000 miles. Long distances, greater than 1500 miles can be around $0.60/mile. There are many factors that go into the cost to ship your car, such as the current demand for shippers and the distance and route your car must travel. The make, model and condition of your car are also factored in.
The majority of vehicles will be picked up within 1-5 business days of your first available date. Your vehicle will be taken on a shared freight carrier, and our car shipping partners need this time to schedule your pickup along with the other cars on your route.
You pay nothing today or when you lock in your price. Once we schedule and dispatch a carrier to your home, we provide you with the estimated delivery dates and charge a small down payment on your credit card. The remaining balance is paid to your driver on delivery via credit card or certified funds.
You are allowed up to 100 pounds of personal belongings in the storage area of your automobile. The front cab and other parts of your vehicle should be empty. Our freight carriers do not have license or insurance to ship household goods across state lines.
The Department of Transportation's Motor Carrier Division requires insurance for all carries shipping vehicles. Your car carrier will have a minimum of $250,000 cargo and $750,000 in general liability insurance coverage. On pickup, your drive will note every ding scratch and dent on your automobile and take pictures. Upon delivery, these notes will be presented and any new dings, dents or scratches should be annotated on that form upon delivery, which is to be signed by both parties.

Adrian Marco Gabriel was a great mover and got everything done safely and quickly. Highly recommend!
Ilia and Navruz did an amazing job. They were prompt and professional. Would definitely ask for them next time I move.
The movers were wonderful. They were friendly and professional. I bought moving supplies from them and they delivered the supplies to my apartment. They were on time and worked quickly but carefully. I had a lot of art and breakable items and nothing was damaged.
Wow! I can honestly say I was impressed. These guys were polite, professional, courteous, and very careful with my furniture. They didn't waste one minute of time from the minute they started until the last piece of furniture was unwrapped. Many thanks for making my move a whole lot easier.
My Pro Movers were very responsible to all my needs. They arrived on time and was very gentle with my items. Hopefully this will be my last move. I plan on recommending them to several of my friends that plan on moving, the first of next year. Thanks again for all your help and your support.
I was very happy with the service that I received from Dan and his team. I highly recommend them for a big move or just need something moved. The guys were ontime and finished my job in a couple of hours.I will be using them again!
Edwin and Santi were our movers and they were wonderful. They both wore masks the entire time and were helpful with a tough move that required organizing the truck in a certain way. All around made moving in the pandemic a little bit easier.
My ProMovers were very professional, and respectful. The crew that moved us were very easy to work with, on time, know how to listen, and again, very respectful showing a great value to the company, and showing how well they are trained by a company that cares. Will always recommend MyProMovers.
Very professional and helpful! Thank you Hugo and Edwin!!!
Santiago, Edwin and Dan were amazingly professional, kind, and efficient in loading my dads furniture onto the truck we had rented. They were wizards in getting as much as possible on the truck. We were amazed. Thanks guys, for your hard work!
Daniil Osminin's team is very professional. Thank you!
Very efficient!
The best moving company I’ve ever worked with. They have always accommodated my last-minute requests, show up on time, and get everything done in a timely manner. Their pricing is also extremely fair and they are always willing to go the extra mile. Don’t bother looking elsewhere!
