What Is Cross Country Car Shipping?

Cross country car shipping is the long-distance transport of a vehicle between states, often coast to coast or from one region of the country to another. State to state auto transport covers any shipment where pickup and delivery cross at least one state border, whether that is a 200-mile move or a 3,000-mile haul. It saves you the cost of fuel, the wear on your odometer, and the days you would spend driving instead of working or settling in.

At ABC Auto Shipping, we coordinate cross country and state to state shipments on every major U.S. corridor. Open transport is the popular choice for everyday vehicles. Enclosed is available for luxury, classic, and exotic cars. You get a dedicated coordinator who handles dispatch, route timing, and carrier selection, plus transparent pricing and full cargo and liability coverage door to door.

FAQs

How long does cross country car shipping take?

Most cross country car shipping takes 7 to 10 days from pickup, depending on distance, weather, and route. Coast-to-coast routes (such as Los Angeles to New York) typically run 7 to 10 days, while regional state-to-state moves can be completed in 1 to 4 days. Pickup occurs within 1 to 5 days of booking.

State to state auto transport typically costs between $500 and $1,800. Cross country shipments fall toward the higher end of that range. Pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, open versus enclosed transport, season, and route popularity. Request a free quote for an exact price on your route.

Yes. Popular long-haul corridors (Los Angeles to New York, California to Florida, Texas to California) have more carriers competing for loads, so pricing is more predictable. Off-the-beaten-path routes may cost more or take slightly longer. Your coordinator will tell you exactly what to expect for your specific lane.

Yes. Snowbird season (October through November southbound, March through April northbound) increases demand on Florida, Arizona, and Texas lanes, which can raise rates. Winter weather on northern routes can extend transit by a day or two. Booking 7 to 30 days in advance secures the best price and timeline.

Yes. Cross country shipping routinely crosses 5, 10, or more state lines on a single Bill of Lading. Your driver and coordinator handle DOT compliance, fuel stops, and weather routing, so you only deal with one pickup and one delivery, not state-by-state coordination.

Yes. We coordinate cross country shipping plus port handoff for shipments to and from Hawaii. Your vehicle is transported overland to the West Coast port (typically Long Beach or Oakland), then handed off to an ocean carrier. Alaska auto transport is not currently available.

Yes. Snow storms, hurricanes, and severe weather can delay cross country shipments on affected corridors. Drivers must comply with state-issued road closures and DOT hours-of-service rules. Your coordinator monitors weather closely and will keep you informed if your shipment is delayed by safety conditions.

Wash the car so any pre-existing damage is visible. Document the condition with photos. Leave a quarter tank of gas, disable alarms and toll tags, remove personal items and aftermarket accessories, and check for fluid leaks. Your coordinator will send a full prep checklist after booking.

Long cross country shipments may include short carrier swaps or rest stops, but your vehicle stays on the carrier or in a secured yard, never abandoned. Carriers must comply with DOT hours-of-service rules, which is why coast-to-coast transit typically runs 7 to 10 days rather than 3.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured, with proven cross country lanes nationwide.
