Factors to consider when shipping a car across the country

Date

We encourage booking as early as possible, especially if expedited service is required. Regardless of your timeline, we simplify the process with seamless pickup and delivery while keeping you updated on your vehicle's status.

Transport type

Choose open auto transport as it’s the most cost-effective way to ship a car across the country. Generally, cross-country shipping estimates are based on this transport type. However, if you’re shipping a luxury, classic, or specialty vehicle, you may want to opt for enclosed transport.

Timing

Shipping a car across the country can take up to two weeks, so it’s important to plan for being without your vehicle during that time. However, most Montway customers receive their vehicles sooner, all without incurring additional cross-country transport costs.

We understand the importance of peace of mind when shipping a car across the country. That’s why we partner exclusively with vetted carriers who have proven experience in coast-to-coast vehicle transport. This commitment ensures your car is handled by trusted professionals dedicated to delivering it on time and in the condition you expect.
