Shipping a car during a long-distance move saves you a grueling drive and the wear on your vehicle. Most auto transport happens through a mix of brokers and carriers, and prices swing with fuel, season, and route. The keys are honest pricing, real insurance, and a company that will not leave you waiting a week past the promised window. Below we rank the leading car shipping companies fairly. If you are coordinating a car ship with the rest of your move, MovePlan (getmoveplan.com) is a free tool to keep the timeline straight.
Montway is the safest overall pick, Sherpa is best if you want a quote that will not creep upward, and AmeriFreight leads on discounts. Because most of these are brokers, confirm the assigned carrier's insurance and read the bill of lading carefully at pickup and delivery.
