Four ways to ship, one standard of care
Every option is priced by quote and moved by a vetted, FMCSA-authorized carrier. Choose the level of protection and speed your vehicle needs.

What customers say
Rated 4.6/5 by real shippers
This was my first time shipping a car, and I was a bit concerned about getting gouged on price. Road Runner gave me the best price and appeared to be very professional. They made this process SO easy, and SO HASSLE FREE!

First-time shipper
Jerry was truly amazing! This was my first time ever having to transport my car to another state and as a student he made the process so easy and seamless. He was available at any time my family & I reached out.

As a carrier, it's not always easy finding brokers you can trust, but this company has been great to work with. They communicate clearly, the loads are organized, and everything is handled professionally from dispatch to delivery.

How much does it cost to ship a car?
The cost to ship a car depends on several factors: the distance traveled, vehicle size, transport type (open or enclosed), and current carrier availability. As a general guide, shorter hauls under 500 miles typically run $300–$700, while cross-country shipping usually falls between $900 and $1,500. Enclosed transport runs roughly 30–40% more than open transport.
Who actually transports my vehicle?
Road Runner Vehicle Transports is a licensed and bonded auto transport broker, not a direct carrier. We act as an intermediary, matching you with a vetted, FMCSA-authorized motor carrier.
Is Road Runner Vehicle Transports licensed and bonded?
Yes. Road Runner Vehicle Transports operates under active federal brokerage authority (MC #1151143-B, USDOT #3494344) issued by the FMCSA, and maintains the federally required $75,000 surety bond.
How do you vet the carriers you work with?
Before any carrier is approved for a shipment, we verify their MC/DOT number with the FMCSA SAFER system, confirm active operating authority, check cargo insurance certificates, and review their safety rating and compliance history.
What is door-to-door vehicle transport?
Door-to-door vehicle transport is a service where we pick up your vehicle from your specified location and deliver it directly to your destination, providing maximum convenience for our customers.
How do I schedule a transport pickup?
You can schedule a pickup by contacting us through our website, phone, or email. Our team will guide you through the process and gather all necessary information.
What should I expect on the day of pickup?
On the day of pickup, our driver will arrive at your location to inspect the vehicle, document its condition, and load it for transport.
What happens if my vehicle is damaged during transport?
Every carrier in our network is required to maintain active cargo insurance. In the rare event of damage, document it on the Bill of Lading at delivery and file a claim directly with the carrier's insurance provider.
Are there any restrictions on what I can transport?
Yes, there are restrictions on transporting hazardous materials, personal belongings, and inoperable vehicles. Please consult us for a full list of restrictions.
How can I pay for the transport service?
We offer several payment options, including credit card, bank transfer, and cash. Payment details will be discussed during the scheduling process. A 3.95% processing fee applies to credit card payments.
Can I cancel my order after booking?
Yes. If you cancel before a carrier has been assigned, you receive a full refund with no cancellation fee. If a carrier has already been assigned on the scheduled pickup day, a $200 administrative fee applies.
