Thank you once again for an outstanding experience!Posted on Robert IvanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I transported both my cars from NY to Florida. This was my very first experience searching for a safe reliable car transport. The customer experience alone was a true Blessing. They spoke with me everyday & made me feel reassured. They walked me every step of the way from beginning to end making the experience a dream come true. Onyx also gave me a discount for transporting my second car. I will always truly recommend them to all my family & friends. Thank you Onyx..! Robert IvanPosted on ginamb001Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lela (scheduler) was great overall and her communication was perfect, and the price they quoted was very fair. One thing to note is that they tend to secure a driver closer to your actual dates, so having a flexible window for pickup and drop-off is important. It’s not their fault, though, this is just the nature of the industry, where they often wait for a driver to be assigned to the route, which can make scheduling a bit unpredictable. That said, they were punctual and showed up exactly when they said they would for both the pickup and drop-off of the car. The driver was nice and professional. No complaints here!! Thank you!Posted on Ben DoronilaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Picked up from NJ and dropped off in California in less than a week. Best company, best agent, and our driver Roy is very professional! Roy had us worry-free the whole time as well as by giving us constant updates.Posted on Dan XavierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lela provided excellent service with the transportation of our two cars. One was shipped from Maryland to California, and the other from Maryland to Utah. In both instances, Lela offered great service at a reasonable price, and the cars were delivered on time without any issues.

Vehicle Shipping Services in California
Open Auto Transport in California
Open auto transport is the most popular and cost-effective option for car shipping to or from California. Vehicles are transported on open-air carriers — the same type commonly used by dealerships and manufacturers.
Best suited for:
Sedans
SUVs and crossovers
Pickup trucks
Everyday vehicles
This option offers strong availability across major California routes, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento, as well as cross-country shipping nationwide.
Enclosed Auto Transport in California
For added protection, enclosed auto transport ships your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer. This shields it from weather conditions, road debris, and long-distance exposure — especially important for coastal and high-traffic routes.
Recommended for:
Luxury vehicles
Exotic and performance cars
Classic and antique automobiles
Collector or investment vehicles
Enclosed transport is ideal for customers who want extra peace of mind when shipping high-value vehicles within California or across the country.

Door-to-Door Car Shipping Services in California
Our door-to-door car shipping services in California are tailored to handle busy cities, suburban neighborhoods, and long-distance routes. Your vehicle is picked up near your preferred location and delivered directly to your destination, avoiding terminal delays. This method helps reduce handling and improves delivery timing. In high-traffic or restricted areas, we coordinate safe alternative pickup or delivery locations to ensure reliable service.
How Much Does Auto Transport Cost in California?
The cost of auto transport to or from California depends on several key factors:

Because California is one of the busiest car shipping markets in the country, pricing can vary based on route popularity and time of year. Short regional shipments may cost less, while cross-country routes typically range higher depending on distance and vehicle type.
