We make sure every car gets the attention it deserves and gets delivered safely and on time. Decades in the industry and flawless reputation, request you quote in our caluclator within seconds and let's get your vehicle moved. No upfront payments.
The shipping process starts with requesting a quote: If ready to proceed, enter and confirm your info to get your vehicle into the dispatching system.
Following booking is the vehicle pickup: A carrier is assigned to your route, and they will contact you to arrange the pick up time and location. The driver will inspect your car's condition before loading it onto the truck.
The final step is the vehicle delivery: Your car is transported to your destination. Upon arrival, you will inspect the vehicle again to ensure it's in the same condition as when it left, completing the shipping process successfully.
It all starts with the quote request: The easiest and most convenient way you get it is by using a shipping cost calculator, where you enter your shipping details and get an instant estimate price, after which the company will contact you for more accurate pricing.
In auto transport, accurate pricing is not a flat rate number you instantly get - it depends on specific details, like: Pickup and drop off locations, vehicle model, your preferred date, whether you like open transport or enclosed transport.
The pricing shifts constantly based on real world factors that vary, like: The demand of that route, the season and current carrier availability. We are focused on providing honest and data driven quotes that reflect the market reality which helps customers avoid the lowball estimates that often cause delays and price changes later.
Getting the right details upfront is the key to set realistic expectations and ensure a smooth door to door car shipping experience.

It depends on the routes, carrier availability and timing, which is why prices and delivery windows can vary.
See moreShipping a car for the first time can feel overwhelming. Here are the questions we hear most often, answered plainly so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
How does car shipping work?
You request a quote, book a pickup date, and a carrier picks up your vehicle from an agreed location. From there, it's loaded onto a transport truck and driven to your destination. You or someone you designate receives it on the other end. The whole process is pretty straightforward once you have a carrier you trust handling the coordination.
How much does it cost to ship a car?
Prices typically range from $500 to $1,500 depending on distance, vehicle size, transport type, and current carrier availability. Longer routes often have better per-mile rates than shorter ones. Prices can shift with fuel costs and seasonal demand, so getting a quote close to when you plan to ship gives you the most accurate number.
How long does auto transport usually take?
Most shipments take between 1 and 7 days, depending on the distance and route. A cross-country move might take 5 to 7 days, while a regional haul could be done in 1 to 3. Carriers are moving on real road schedules, so exact delivery windows aren't always guaranteed, but you'll get estimated timeframes when you book.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every licensed carrier is required to carry cargo insurance that covers your vehicle while it's on the truck. Before pickup, you and the driver complete a condition report documenting any existing marks or scratches. That same inspection happens at delivery, so any transport-related damage is clearly documented and claimable.
Can I choose between open and enclosed transport?
Yes, both options are available. Open transport is the standard choice and works well for most everyday vehicles. Enclosed transport is worth considering if you're shipping something classic, high-value, or just want extra protection from the elements. It costs more, but the added peace of mind makes sense for the right vehicle.
Do I need to pay upfront to ship my car?
Most reputable brokers and carriers don't require full payment before pickup. Typically, a small deposit is collected when you book, with the remaining balance due at delivery. Be cautious of anyone asking for full payment upfront before a carrier has even been assigned. That's not standard practice in this industry.
Can Rivalane ship cars across state lines?
Absolutely. We handle transport routes across the entire continental U.S., including long-distance moves, state-to-state relocations, and everything in between. Whether you're moving from Florida to Oregon or shipping a vehicle a few states over, we work with a vetted carrier network to cover it.
How do I get a car shipping quote?
You can get a quote directly on our website in a couple of minutes. Just enter your pickup and delivery locations, vehicle details, and your preferred transport type. If you'd rather talk it through first, our team is available to walk you through pricing and answer any questions before you commit to anything.
