How does Vinmove handle cross-country auto transport?
Putting your vehicle into the hands of one of the nation's auto transport companies can be stressful. When it comes to shipping your vehicle cross country there's a lot you need to think about.
Factors to consider when shipping a car across the country:
Date
We recommend booking as far in advance as you possibly can, especially if you need expedited service. No matter what, we'll make it easy by streamlining pickup/delivery and giving you regular updates on your vehicle. Need to change your dates? No problem! With Vinmove you can change your pickup or delivery dates before your vehicle is dispatched.
Transport type
Most Vinmove customers opt for open auto transport, which is the budget-friendly way to ship a car across the country. Typically, cross-country car shipping cost estimates will be for this type of transport. If you need to transport a luxury vehicle, a classic car, or a specialty vehicle, consider the additional cross country car shipping cost of an enclosed transport that will shield your car from weather and road debris over long distances.
Timing
Shipping a car across the country can take up to two weeks. Be ready to be without your vehicle for at least that long, just in case, though we’re happy to share that most Vinmove customers receive their vehicles in less time (without charging a higher cost of transporting a car across the country).

Reliability
We know that peace of mind is important when transporting a car across the country, which is why Vinmove uses only vetted car carriers who have experience shipping cars from coast to coast. This is how we ensure that your vehicle is being moved by trusted members of the industry who will do everything they can to ensure your car arrives on time and in the condition you’re expecting.

We know how to transport a car across the country. Vinmove moves 250,000+ vehicles a year, but we still find time to give each of our customers the individual attention they deserve. Whenever we’re arranging transport across the country, we provide special care and attention to detail so you get the best possible service for your cost of moving a car across the country.
