Cross-country car shipping involves the transportation of your vehicle from one part of the country to another. At Safe Car Hauler, we offer flexible services that range from door-to-door delivery to terminal-to-terminal shipping, depending on your preferences and budget.
Choose the best transport option for your vehicle based on budget, protection, and urgency. Whether you need affordable open transport, premium enclosed shipping, or fast delivery, we’ve got you covered.
Open carrier transport is the most cost-effective and commonly used option for cross-country vehicle shipping. Vehicles are transported on an open trailer, ensuring a safe and efficient journey. While exposed to weather and road conditions, this method remains a reliable and budget-friendly choice for standard cars, SUVs, and trucks. Vehicles are securely strapped to ensure they arrive safely.
For luxury, classic, or exotic cars, enclosed carrier transport provides the highest level of protection. Vehicles are shipped inside a fully enclosed trailer, shielding them from weather, road debris, and damage. This premium service is ideal for high-value cars requiring extra security and careful handling. Though more expensive, enclosed transport ensures vehicles arrive in pristine condition.
When fast delivery is a priority, expedited car shipping ensures quicker pickup and shorter transit times. This service is ideal for urgent relocations, last-minute moves, or time-sensitive deliveries. With expedited transport, the shipping process is prioritized to reduce delays, ensuring the vehicle reaches its destination as quickly and safely as possible.

Several factors influence the cost of shipping a vehicle across the country. Understanding these elements can help you plan your budget and make informed decisions about transport options.
The total mileage between the pickup and delivery locations is the biggest cost factor in car shipping. Longer distances require more fuel, driver hours, and logistical coordination, which naturally increases the price. Coast-to-coast shipments tend to cost more than regional transports. While longer routes have a higher overall cost, the price per mile may be lower compared to shorter distances.
Larger and heavier vehicles require more space on the carrier and add extra weight, which can increase fuel consumption and affect transport costs. SUVs, trucks, and vans generally cost more to ship than compact sedans. Enclosed carriers have limited space, making size and weight even more significant factors. If a vehicle is oversized or modified with large tires or accessories, special accommodations may be needed, leading to additional charges.
The time of year plays a major role in pricing due to fluctuations in demand. Summer is typically the busiest season, leading to higher rates as more people move or travel. Winter can sometimes offer lower prices, but severe weather conditions may cause delays, particularly in snowy or icy regions. Fall and spring are often the most balanced seasons in terms of availability and pricing, with fewer weather-related disruptions.
The type of shipping service selected impacts the overall cost. Open carrier transport is the most affordable and widely used method, while enclosed carrier transport provides additional protection but comes at a premium. Expedited shipping also raises costs by prioritizing pickup and delivery over standard scheduling. The choice between these options depends on the vehicle’s value, the owner’s timeline, and budget considerations.
Where a vehicle is being picked up and dropped off influences pricing. Transporting a car between major metropolitan areas or along well-traveled routes is generally more affordable due to high carrier availability. Remote or rural areas may have limited access to carriers, requiring additional time and fuel for transport, which can raise costs. Urban pickups and drop-offs often offer more flexibility and lower pricing due to frequent carrier traffic.
