Frequently Asked Questions About Car Shipping
Get quick answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we get about shipping vehicles.
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Minneapolis?
Car shipping costs from Minneapolis typically range from $500 to $1,500 depending on distance, vehicle size, transport type (open vs. enclosed), and seasonal factors. For example, shipping a standard sedan from Atlanta to Chicago (around 700 miles) on an open carrier might cost $650-850, while shipping to Los Angeles (approximately 2,200 miles) could cost $1,100-1,400. For personalized pricing, we recommend requesting a quote with your specific details.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from Minneapolis?
Transit times depend primarily on distance. Regional shipments (within 500 miles of Minneapolis) typically take 1-3 days, mid-range shipments (500-1,500 miles) take 3-7 days, and cross-country shipments (1,500+ miles) generally take 7-10 days. These timeframes account for actual driving time, scheduled pickups/deliveries, and DOT-regulated rest periods for our drivers.
What information do I need to provide for an accurate car shipping quote?
To provide an accurate quote, we need your vehicle’s year, make, model, and any modifications; pickup and delivery locations with zip codes; preferred timeframe; transport type preference (open or enclosed); and whether the vehicle is operable. The more details you provide, the more precise your quote will be, helping avoid unexpected adjustments later.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
What's the difference between a broker and a direct car hauler like Auto Express?
How do I prepare my vehicle for shipping?
Do you offer door-to-door service in Minneapolis?
Yes, we offer door-to-door service throughout the Minneapolis metro area wherever legally and safely possible. Our drivers will pick up and deliver as close to your specified locations as large transport trucks can safely navigate. In cases where street access is restricted (narrow streets, low-hanging branches, etc.), we’ll arrange a nearby meeting point like a shopping center or parking lot for safe loading or unloading.
