Ship A Car State To State

Car Transport to Another State - Skip The Drive, We’ll Do The Heavy Lifting

Moving your automobile across the country can be a hassle if you’re doing it yourself. Unknown routes, traffic conditions, and weather situations can make it risky while driving to another state can take a considerable chunk of your time. Plus, you don’t save much if you add all the driving expenses such as fuel, accommodation, dining, return ticket, car wash, and potential repairs after car breakdowns. And don’t forget that your vehicle may not be insured out of your state, so that’s a big risk as well. So why not just get a car transport service to ship your vehicle across the state? That’s where Easy Auto Ship’s expert cross-country car shipping service comes in handy; we’re reliable, professional, insured, and affordable!

Different Options for Moving a Car to Another State

cost-to-ship-a-car-from-state-to-state
By Sea

If you’re relocating to a different country or to a coastal state like Hawaii, then using ocean freight makes both practical and financial sense as it’s more affordable than airplane auto transport. In fact, 80% of world trade is done via sea, and the Americas alone hold a 16.9% share.

However, shipping your car by sea will also take the longest, with at least 20-45 days in normal and over 60 days in peak seasons.

By Train

Shipping your car using a train is possible, but only from Lorton, VA (Washington, D.C.) to Orlando, Florida, as that’s the only route Amtrak Auto Train offers. This is the only train service available to individuals shipping cars in the US. The cost can be slightly more expensive than using a truck, and it’s also not door-to-door; you go from platform to platform only. However, the total transit time for the train auto transport is only 16 hours and 29 minutes.

By Plane

Shipping your car to another state using an airplane is expensive, very few companies do it, and it is not practical to do within the US. Even big celebrities with luxury vehicles use enclosed transport when moving expensive vehicles to another state within the US. This option makes more sense for international moves. Even established classic car collectors like Wayne Carini move their vehicles using enclosed trailers.

Driving Yourself

You can always drive your car to another state, but that involves a few expenses, such as:

  • Accommodation
  • Food
  • Fuel
  • Car wash
  • Added mileage to car

Then there’s also the risk of accidents for long-distance driving due to drowsiness, which results in 100,000 crashes every year. Moreover, your insurance provider might not cover the vehicle if it gets into an accident outside the registered state. Using car shipping saves time, preserves vehicle value, ensures your safety, and your money.

Hire a Driver

You can always hire a driveaway service to take your car from one location to another, but that’s expensive too. You’ve to pay for the driver’s fee, fuel, and maybe even the driver’s return ticket. Then there’s the obvious increase in the vehicle mileage and risk of wear and tear.

Hiring a car shipper like us is cheaper and saves you from a great deal of hassle. Our carriers also have cargo insurance, which cannot be said for all driveaway services, as they’re only driving the car and not hauling cargo.

Tow Your Car

You can always use the good old towing method to haul the car yourself, but it’s riskier, requires proper equipment, and knowledge of load balancing. A car shipper takes all the hassle off your hands.

Truck Transport using a Car Transport Company

If you want peace of mind, hand over the responsibility of moving your car to another state to professionals like us. With an A+ rating on BBB, thousands of reviews online, vetted carriers, and over a decade of experience, we’ll move the vehicle safely and deliver on time. We offer custom solutions including:

Versatile State-to-State Car Transport Services:

Our service lets you ship a car to another state through a range of shipping methods and custom solutions. Our goal is to add flexibility, versatility, and convenience to your car hauling experience. With us, you get all kinds of car shipping and delivery modes under one roof. Here’s a glimpse of what we have to offer.

Auto Transport Modes

The actual auto shipping service falls into the below given services, no matter which type of vehicle or heavy equipment you want to haul.

cost-to-ship-a-car-from-state-to-state
Open Transport

Open transport is the most affordable and widely used method to haul cars. Your vehicle will be placed on a multi-car trailer that hauls 5 to 9  vehicles at a time. Though the vehicles are exposed to environmental elements, with our vetted carriers, the automobiles are safely hauled across the country.

Plus, you can get top-load shipping and place your vehicle on the top deck, safeguarding it from road debris that vehicles on the lower ramp might come across.

Enclosed Transport

Enclosed carriers offer extra protection thanks to their solid aluminum or steel roofs and sides that absorb any blow from bumps or crashes, ensuring the vehicles inside stay safe. Enclosed carriers also feature air-ride suspensions coupled with straps and wheel chocks to secure vehicles in place, offering a smoother and more controlled vehicle transport, especially on bumpy roads.

Then there’s also a liftgate that allows vehicles with low ground clearance or non-running engines to be safely loaded and unloaded. An enclosed trailer is more practical to keep expensive, vintage, and luxury vehicles safe from potential dents, scratches, dirt, UV rays, and rain as they travel state to state.

Expedited Pickup

If you’re in a rush and need your vehicle transported faster, expedited pickup can be a useful add-on for you. Our team handles your case on priority and tries to have the vehicle picked up within 24 hours.

One of the most time-consuming tasks is finding and assigning a carrier to a load (vehicle) that’s going the same route as that vehicle needs to go. That can sometimes even take a week. You can save that time by two means:

  • Booking at least 2 weeks earlier than the date you need your vehicle picked up
  • Or, by getting expedited pickup and have our team rush to have your vehicle picked up within 24 hours

While expedited service does come at a higher cost, many customers find the added convenience well worth the investment.

Flexible Pickup/Delivery Modes for Vehicles:

Whether you want end-to-end car shipping, hybrid auto shipping including terminal pick and drop from you, or pickups and drop offs from/to ports for international moves, Easy Auto Ship has got your back.

Door-to-Door: Straight To Your Front Door

The most laidback and hands-off way to ship your car across the country is door to door. Our carrier picks up your vehicle from your doorsteps, hauls to the destination and drops it off where you want. And don’t worry, they call before arriving for pickup and drop off so you’re ready for the hand off.

Terminal-to-Terminal: A Budget-Friendly Option

Sometimes the budget’s tight, especially if you’re not just moving the car but also your home or office and that’s when terminal to terminal can shave off some bucks from your final quote.

Depending on your location, if you’re in a remote area, the savings will be much higher than if you’re in a metropolitan area because then the carrier won’t have to go out of the interstate highway and into narrow rural roads that take longer to navigate and increase risk of accidents as well.

Port-to-Port: When Going Coastal Is Your Goal

If you’re moving your car, boat, RV or any other vehicle to coastal regions like Hawaii or to regions like Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East etc., the most affordable way to ship your car is via ocean RoRo shipping. And if you want more security, container options are also available.

Easy Auto Ship not only offers international and coastal vehicle transport, we also help move your vehicle to and from the port. Even if you’re not using our international car shipping service, you can still use us to move your vehicle to and from the ports across the US.

Contact our professional auto transport agents right now for a fast, no-obligation quote, and make your interstate move smooth and hassle-free!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you ship a car to another state?
Yes, Easy Auto Ship can ship your vehicle to any state from Alaska to New York and everything in between. If you need to move to Hawaii, we’ll make that happen via boats and ferries as well.
How does Easy Auto Ship handle shipping vehicles across states?
We have partnered with thousands of carriers over the years that continuously go up and down the US. When you request us for a pickup, we notify our network of carriers and whoever is going the same route as your pickup and destination, they are assigned the task. Since this is our own vetted network of carriers we’ve worked with, you can trust us to make the right choice for your needs.
When shipping my vehicle, can I choose between open and enclosed transport options?
Yes, you can select between open and enclosed when getting quotes from our online calculator or talking to our representatives. Enclosed offers better security but can cost 30-50% more compared to open carriers.
Is it possible to ship a car to another state using a train?
You can only ship between Lourton, VA (Washington DC) and Sanford, Florida near Orlando using Amtrak Auto Train. No other route is available and no car shipping companies have the resources to offer car shipping to another state via a train.
How do I prepare my vehicle for shipping?
Take out all of your personal items from both the interior and exterior of the vehicle (documents, jewellery, roof rack, spoilers, antennas), leave only a quarter of a tank of gas in the vehicle, check the battery charge, and inspect your vehicle for any damage before pick up.
How long does it typically take to transport a car from one state to another?
Around one week is standard for cross country car shipping. However, weather changes, carrier availability (especially when getting enclosed shipping), and traffic/route conditions can cause delays sometimes.
Can I track my vehicle during shipping?
Yes, you can track your vehicle in different ways, by talking to our support, or even directly calling the carrier. As a part of our efforts to maintain transparency with customers, we connect them with the carrier so they can be in the loop all the time.
Will my vehicle be insured during transport?
Yes, our carriers are vetted to have at least $100k in cargo insurance policy to ensure your losses are covered in case of any damage. We have a claims process you can follow to get reimbursed for losses.
Should I know any hidden fees when shipping my car state-to-state?
Easy Auto Ship works on transparency and we believe in the what-you-see-is-what-you-get model. The initial quote you get breaks down the cost and any add-ons like expedited pickup or top-load vehicle placement. Still, final quotes can vary slightly due to uncontrollable factors like fuel price hike, rerouting due to road closures, significant weather events etc or if the initially provided details by customers like vehicle type, weight, dimensions, modifications are not correct. Rest assured, we use ELDs to keep track of the number of miles carriers drive so there are no surprises.
Can I haul more than one car at a time?
Yes, you can use our multiple vehicle shipping service to move 2 or more vehicles at a time. You can even get a discount if all vehicles are moving to and from the same locations at the same time.
