(image url: https://cdn.carshippers.ai/car-shippers-ai-website/images/20260507-074741-cgyvjb-pillar-network-400.webp) ### 10,000+ carrier network Our matching engine taps a live pool of vetted, FMCSA-licensed carriers, so your shipment finds a truck heading your way instead of sitting on a load board waiting for a bid. (image url: https://cdn.carshippers.ai/car-shippers-ai-website/images/20260507-074741-ha3kp8-pillar-pricing-400.webp) ### Dynamic pricing engine Quotes are calculated from live capacity, current fuel costs, seasonal demand, and route history - the same variables that move price on every shipment, priced transparently instead of padded with a broker markup.

No phone calls required. ### Is the quote really locked? Yes - for 7 days from the time it's verified. The price you see is the price you pay. ### Open vs enclosed transport - which do I need? Open is the standard option most cars ship on. Enclosed adds protection from weather and road debris - recommended for exotic, classic, or high-value vehicles. ### Do you ship door-to-door? Yes, in nearly all locations. We'll come as close to your front door as is safe and legal for a 75-foot truck. ### How do I track my car? Real-time GPS tracking via your dashboard from the moment your car is loaded. ### What if something goes wrong? We're available 24/7. Every shipment is covered by carrier insurance, and we manage any claims on your behalf. ### How much does it cost to ship a car? Your quote depends on distance, vehicle type, timing, and carrier availability. See our full pricing breakdown for your specific route. ### Can I ship a car that doesn't run? Yes - inoperable vehicles can still be shipped, though they typically cost more since the carrier needs winches or other loading equipment. See inoperable vehicle in our glossary. ### How long does car shipping take? Transit time depends on distance - routes under 500 miles typically take 1-2 days, while cross-country shipments run 5-9 days. Your locked quote includes an estimated pickup and delivery window. ### Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery? You or someone you authorize needs to be there to hand off the keys and sign off on the vehicle's condition at both ends. If you can't be there yourself, you can designate a friend, family member, or your dealership. *BUSINESS & DEALERS* ### What counts as a business account? Dealerships, fleet operators, rental companies, auction partners, relocation firms, and OEMs. If you ship 5+ vehicles, you qualify. ### How does volume pricing work? Tiered rate cards based on monthly volume - the more you ship, the lower your per-unit cost. Custom contracts for 100+ units/month. ### Do you have an online platform? Yes - batch booking, quoting, and tracking in one place. Built for operations teams that move metal. ### What kind of support do business accounts get? A dedicated account manager from day one, plus 24/7 dispatch support and SLA-backed response times. ### Can I batch-book multiple vehicles? Yes - upload a CSV or paste a VIN list. Quotes returned in seconds, dispatched in parallel. *WAYS TO SAVE* ## Ways to save on yourshipment Contact a quote specialist to see which of these apply to your shipment. | Discount | Who qualifies | Amount | | --- | --- | --- | | Military | Active-duty, veterans, military families | | | First responders | Police, fire, EMS | | | Students | Currently enrolled college/university students | | | Multiple vehicles | Customers shipping 2+ vehicles | | | Flexible pickup window | Any customer choosing a 3-5 day window over a fixed date | | *INDIVIDUAL SHIPPING* ## Ship one car, the smart way.
