Cross-Country Car Shipping
Long-distance vehicle transport between states and coast to coast.
Long-Distance Transport
Skip the Cross-Country Drive
Moving across the country or buying a car in another region? Cross-country car shipping moves your vehicle thousands of miles without adding mileage, wear or hotel stays to your trip.
Long-haul routes usually follow major interstates, so shipping between large metro areas is often easier to schedule than rural origins or destinations. Transit time depends on distance, weather, traffic and the carrier’s schedule.
- Coast-to-coast and interstate routes
- Open and enclosed options
- Door-to-door pickup and delivery
- No added miles on your vehicle

Questions Answered
Cross-Country Car Shipping FAQ
How long does cross-country shipping take?
Longer routes take longer, and weather, traffic and carrier schedules all play a role. Ask your Route One contact for the estimate for your specific route.
How far ahead should I book?
Request your quote as early as you can, ideally a week or two before your preferred pickup date. Busy seasons may need more lead time.
Is shipping cheaper than driving?
It depends. Compare fuel, hotels, meals and time away from work, plus the wear and mileage on your vehicle.
What if my pickup or delivery location is remote?
Remote locations can affect availability and cost. A nearby larger town or parking lot is often an easier meeting point for a full-size carrier.
