Let Us Handle Interstate Car Transport Safely And Fully Hands-Off So You Can Focus on Packing and Moving
Moving your home to another state is already challenging because you’re practically packing up your life and starting a new one in a different place. We get it. It’s overwhelming and anxiety-filled, and you don’t want to go through the hassle of moving or driving your car hundreds or thousands of miles. That’s where our cross-state vehicle moving takes the pressure off your shoulders.
Our interstate car transport service can move every size and type of vehicle you own. We’re talking about your family sedans, luxury cars, RVs that won’t fit in your driveway, boats waiting for their next adventure, golf carts, and even your trusty motorcycles.
With a network of thousands of carriers, we always have someone traveling to different parts of the US, including Alaska and Hawaii. Whether within the mainland or to/from nearby territories, our team coordinates everything—from pickup timing to securing long-haul auto transport and safe delivery.
We Regularly Work With Movers to Safely Ship Their Vehicles Throughout The Year:
Although local moves account for most residential relocations in the US, interstate moves occur in millions each year. The reason for the relatively smaller number than local moves is distance. Plus, moving all your household goods, including your vehicle, thousands of miles to another state is harder. That being said, here’s some interesting data on the number of interstate moves made each year.
Sources:
- US Census Bureau (2006 to 2019)
- TAMUS (2020)
- US Census Bureau (2021 to 2023)
As per the data:
- Interstate moves in US increased significantly from 7.9M in 2015 to 8.4M in 2023
- Recent years (2021-2023) show stronger interstate moving activity than pre-2020 levels
- California to Texas is the dominant route, with 82.2k moves
- Three out of five top routes originate from California, indicating strong outward migration
- Southern states (Texas and Florida) are primary destinations, receiving moves from both West Coast and Northeast
- Routes between neighboring states (like CA → AZ) show strong regional migration patterns
The state-to-state moving rate has remained relatively stable at around 17%, showing consistent demand for long-distance residential relocation services for vehicles. This is exactly why we have interstate car transport services for cross-state moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to ship a car across states?
Transit time typically ranges from 3 to 8 days, depending on the distance and route. For example, shipping from California to Texas usually takes 3 to 4 days, while shipping from New York to Florida might take 4 to 5 days. We provide specific estimates based on your route and keep you updated throughout the journey.
What happens if my car delivery is delayed?
We understand the importance of having transportation at your new location. That’s why we offer a rental car allowance if your delivery is delayed beyond the estimated timeline. We’ll cover the cost of a rental vehicle until your car arrives, ensuring you maintain mobility during your transition.
How do you protect my vehicle during long-distance transport?
Your vehicle is protected through multiple measures:
- Comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the journey
- Professional inspection before and after transport
- Option for enclosed transport for additional protection
- Experienced drivers who specialize in interstate auto transport
- Regular updates and tracking throughout the journey
Can you coordinate the car delivery with my household move date?
Yes! We specifically design our service to align with your overall moving timeline. During booking, we’ll work with you to coordinate pickup and delivery dates that complement your household moving schedule, making your transition as smooth as possible.
How should I prepare my car for interstate shipping?
To ensure a smooth transport, we recommend:
- Removing personal items from the vehicle
- Maintaining about ¼ tank of fuel
- Documenting any existing damage or issues
- Disabling your car alarm system
- Providing a spare key to the transport driver
- Checking that your vehicle is in operating condition
Do I need to empty my car before shipping?
Yes, state laws prohibit transporting personal items. Some carriers may carry up to 100 lbs of personal stuff in the car, but that depends solely on the carrier; you’ll have to ask them in advance.
What’s excluded from your service?
We only transport vehicles (no boxes, furniture, etc.).
Can You Reschedule if My Moving Date Changes?
Rescheduling car transportation after a carrier is assigned is challenging because the carrier cannot wait. They carry 7-9 vehicles together, making them wait for one car is impossible. So, if your date changes and a carrier is assigned, we’ll have to cancel the order, charge a small cancellation fee, and then assign a different carrier.
