1. How much does it cost to ship a car?
The cost of nationwide car transport depends on the total distance, vehicle size, and the type of service (Open vs. Enclosed). For an accurate, professional quote tailored to your route—such as Texas to Alaska or California to New York—call us at (818) 313-3171.
2. What is the difference between Open and Enclosed transport?
- Open Transport: The most common and cost-effective method. Your vehicle is secured on an open-air trailer, perfect for standard daily drivers.
- Enclosed Transport: Ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles. Your car is shielded from weather and road debris in a fully covered trailer.
3. How long does nationwide shipping take?
Typically, transit times range from 3 to 10 business days depending on the distance. For example, coast-to-coast shipping (like WA to FL) takes longer than regional moves (like NV to CA). We provide estimated delivery windows during the booking process.
4. Do you offer door-to-door delivery?
Yes. Allstates Auto Shipping specializes in door-to-door drop-off, meaning our carriers get as close to your specific address as legally and safely possible. We also offer depot drop-off options for certain regions, though specialized logistics may involve additional costs.
5. Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Absolutely. Every shipment with AAS is fully insured. We perform a professional inspection at both pickup and delivery to ensure your vehicle is handled with total accountability and arrives in the same condition it was received.
6. Can I ship personal items inside the car?
To comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and for safety reasons, we recommend keeping the vehicle empty. Most carriers allow up to 100 lbs of personal items secured in the trunk, but these items are not covered by transport insurance.
7. Do you provide logistics for auto dealerships?
Yes. (AAS) specializes in high-volume inventory moves for car dealerships nationwide. Whether you are managing dealer trades or transporting units from auction to showroom, our disciplined logistics process ensures your inventory arrives on time and in peak condition.
8. How does shipping to or from Alaska work?
Shipping to Alaska typically involves a combination of land transport and barge service, often via the port of Tacoma, WA. We manage the entire coordinated effort, including all port documentation and vehicle inspections, to provide a seamless door-to-door experience for one of the nation’s most complex shipping lanes.
9. Are there extra costs for depot drop-offs?
While we prioritize door-to-door delivery, some customers prefer depot drop-off for logistics or budget reasons. Please note that specialized terminal fees or secondary transport logistics from a depot may incur additional costs—our team will provide a clear breakdown during the quoting process.
