Factors to consider when shipping a car across the country:

Date

The best-case scenario involves booking as far in advance as you possibly can. If you need expedited service (whether that’s a quicker pickup, faster delivery, or both), AT Shipper can certainly manage that for a slightly increased cost of shipping a car. No matter what, we’ll make it easy by streamlining pickup and delivery, giving you around the clock updates on your vehicle. AT Shipper will let you change your dates before your vehicle is dispatched, if needed.

Transport type

Most AT Shipper customers choose for open auto transport, which is the budget-friendly way to ship a car across country. Most average cross-country car shipping cost estimates will be for this type of transport.
But, 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.
