FOR PEOPLE ON THE MOVE
Car Shipping for Your Next Move
Onyx Auto Transport arranges door-to-door car shipping across the 48 contiguous states, helping you move your vehicle without making the long drive yourself. Whether you’re relocating for work, moving your family, or buying a car in another state, we help coordinate transportation around your pickup and delivery locations.
Choose open or enclosed transport to suit your vehicle and shipping needs. Our team explains the arrangements before you book and stays available for questions through pickup and delivery. From your everyday car to a vehicle you’ve just purchased, we help you plan the next step.
Moving Yourself or Your Family
A household move can involve more vehicles than available drivers. Ship your car while you travel with your family, or ask about transporting multiple vehicles. Give us the details for each car so we can explain the available arrangements.
Relocating for Work
Starting a new job often leaves little time for a road trip. Share your first available pickup date, departure plans, and work start date. We can discuss shipping options and the expected timing so you can plan transportation at your destination.
Buying a Car in Another State
Found the right vehicle at an out-of-state dealership or through a private seller? We can coordinate transport once the vehicle is paid for and ready for release. Provide the seller's contact details, pickup hours, and any instructions the driver will need.
Sending a Car to a Family Member
You do not need to make the trip yourself to send a car to a parent, child, or another relative. Tell us who will meet the driver at each address. We help coordinate the handoff so both people know what to expect.
Shipping a Car to College
Moving a student and a vehicle on the same trip can mean an extra driver and a long return journey. Arrange car shipping to the student's destination, with pickup and delivery planned around access and availability. Confirm campus parking and receiving arrangements before scheduling.
Moving Between Seasonal Homes
If you spend part of the year in a different state, shipping lets you keep your own vehicle with you without repeating the drive. Contact us when your travel plans take shape, and let us know how flexible your pickup dates are.
FROM QUOTE TO DELIVERY
How Our Car Shipping Service Works
BOOK YOUR SHIPMENT
Get Your Quote and Book
Enter your pickup and delivery locations, vehicle details, transport preference, and first available shipping date. Review your quote and payment option, then book when you are ready. Let us know about modifications, loading issues, or special access requirements before we arrange a carrier.
PICKUP DAY
Meet the Driver at Pickup
Once a carrier is assigned, we share the pickup arrangements and carrier details. You or your representative meet the driver, review the vehicle's condition, and complete the pickup inspection. Keep a copy of the condition report and take clear photos before loading.
DELIVERY DAY
Receive and Inspect Your Vehicle
The carrier transports your vehicle to the agreed delivery location. At arrival, inspect the car before signing the delivery paperwork and note any concerns on the condition report. If your selected payment option includes a remaining balance, have the agreed payment method ready.
CLOSER TO YOUR DOOR
Door-to-Door Auto Transport That Fits Your Addresses
Door-to-door shipping means arranging pickup and delivery around the locations you provide. That might be your home, a workplace, a dealership, or another address where someone can release or receive the vehicle.
Large car carriers need room to turn, park, and load. Apartment entrances, narrow streets, low branches, steep roads, and local truck restrictions can affect access. If the driver cannot safely reach an address, a suitable nearby meeting point will be arranged.
Tell us about access restrictions early, including gated communities or locations with limited opening hours. This helps us plan the handoff before pickup day.
TWO WAYS TO TRAVEL
Choose Open or Enclosed Car Shipping
OPEN TRAILER
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is a practical choice for everyday cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer and is exposed to outdoor conditions along the route.
It generally costs less than enclosed transport and works well for customers who want to move a vehicle without driving it themselves. Ask for an open-carrier quote to compare the cost for your route.
COVERED TRAILER
Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed transport places your vehicle inside a covered trailer, providing added protection from weather and road debris. Consider it for a classic car, a collector vehicle, or a car with a finish you want to protect from exposure.
Tell us about low ground clearance, modifications, or special handling requirements. Those details help us find suitable equipment for loading and transport.
A QUOTE BUILT AROUND YOUR MOVE
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?
Your route, vehicle, and shipping dates determine your quote. For an illustration of how mileage pricing works, 750 miles at $0.90 per mile comes to $675; 2,750 miles at $0.43 per mile comes to about $1,183.
These are calculation examples, not guaranteed rates. Carrier availability, vehicle size, pickup access, and open or enclosed service can change the price. Explore car shipping costs and request your route estimate.
The main pricing factors include:
Route and distance
Where the carrier needs to pick up and deliver.
Vehicle size and weight
How much trailer space and carrying capacity it requires.
Running condition
Whether additional loading equipment is needed.
Transport type
Open or enclosed service.
Your dates
The pickup window and available carrier space.
Location access
Extra arrangements for remote or restricted locations.
For a more budget-friendly option, compare open transport and tell us if your dates are flexible. Be accurate about your vehicle’s condition and modifications so the quote reflects the work required.
Our car shipping calculator gives you a starting estimate for your shipment. Contact our team if your vehicle needs special handling. Auction pickups should be quoted by phone so we can review release requirements, loading conditions, and vehicle status.
KNOW WHEN AND HOW YOU PAY
Payment Options Explained Before You Book
With Onyx Auto Transport, no charge is processed until a carrier is assigned to your order.
PARTIAL PAYMENT + DELIVERY BALANCE
Discounted Cash Price
A partial payment is processed after carrier assignment. The remaining balance is paid to the carrier at delivery using the agreed payment method.
ONE CARD PAYMENT
One-Time Full Payment
Pay the full amount by card after a carrier is assigned, without a remaining transport balance to pay at delivery.
For the discounted cash option, confirm delivery payment arrangements in advance. Cash or a cashier’s check are the standard options; some carriers may accept Zelle or Venmo. Do not plan to use a credit or debit card at delivery.
48 CONTIGUOUS STATES
State-to-State and Cross-Country Car Shipping
You can arrange transport between neighboring states or across the country. We serve the 48 contiguous states and coordinate shipments for customers in cities, suburbs, and smaller communities.
Start with your origin and destination rather than a mileage estimate alone. Your location affects which carriers can serve the route, where the truck can stop, and how much scheduling flexibility may be needed.

THE ONYX EXPERIENCE
What You Can Expect from Onyx Auto Transport
Help With the Details That Matter
A good shipment starts with the right information. We review the vehicle, addresses, contact people, and available dates so the transport arrangements reflect what you actually need.
Insurance Included
Before assigning a carrier, we check its operating authority and cargo insurance and attach the insurance documentation to your shipment record. Your vehicle travels under the assigned carrier’s cargo policy, subject to its terms. See how shipping coverage works.
Communication Through Your Shipment
You have a team to contact about scheduling, pickup arrangements, and delivery questions. If your plans change, let us know as soon as possible so we can review the next steps with you and the carrier.
Clear Expectations About Timing
Pickup and delivery are planned around carrier availability and the route. Weather, traffic, and loading stops can affect timing. We explain the expected windows so you can make practical plans for your travel and vehicle handoff.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Car Shipping Questions
Contact us when you know your route and have a likely pickup window. Early planning gives you time to review options and coordinate with a seller, family member, or moving company. If you need a shipment soon, ask us to check current availability.
Timing depends on the route, distance, carrier schedule, and conditions along the way. Pickup scheduling and time in transit are separate parts of the process. Ask for an estimate for both, especially if you are planning flights or need the car for a new job.
Compare the shipping quote with fuel, tolls, lodging, meals, and the time needed for the drive. Shipping can be useful when you are moving multiple vehicles or cannot take several days away from work. The better choice depends on your route and circumstances.
Yes. Arrange for a representative to release or receive your vehicle, and give us their contact details in advance. They should be available during the agreed window and prepared to inspect the vehicle and complete the handoff paperwork.
Tell us exactly what the car can and cannot do before requesting transport. Whether it starts, rolls, steers, and brakes affects the equipment and arrangements needed. We will review the details and available options before scheduling.
Yes. Every order includes insurance.
Remove valuables and unnecessary personal belongings, take photos of the vehicle, and have the keys ready. Tell us about leaks, mechanical issues, alarms, or modifications. Read our vehicle preparation guide before pickup for the full checklist.
