Why choose Montway for your car shipment
How much does it cost to ship a car from an online sale?
The cost to ship a car sold online typically ranges from $500 to $1,500, depending on several key factors. One of the biggest influences is distance as longer hauls naturally cost more, while shorter, regional deliveries are usually less expensive. Vehicle type also matters; larger, heavier vehicles like trucks or SUVs often cost more to transport than compact cars. The transport method you choose plays a role too: open carriers are more budget-friendly, while enclosed carriers offer extra protection at a higher price.
Other factors that affect the final cost include the pickup and delivery locations (rural or hard-to-reach areas may require additional fees), vehicle condition (inoperable cars often require special equipment), seasonal demand, and how quickly you need the vehicle shipped. Expedited shipping or guaranteed delivery windows can raise the price. With our instant quote tool, sellers can get a clear estimate upfront making it easy to factor in shipping costs when closing an online sale.

Frequently asked questions
What discounts do you offer?
We have many different options, such as multiple vehicle and returning customer discounts. Our representatives can tell you if you qualify for a discount. We make sure that we always offer the best prices you can find on the market.
Are personal items in the car insured?
No, any belongings left in the car will not be insured. Montway recommends removing all valuable items and important documents from the vehicle before it is picked up. The car itself will be covered with the carrier’s cargo insurance.
How long will it take to ship my car?
Your shipping time will be calculated based on the distance the vehicle is moved. The shipping time will be provided to you when you get a quote, and again when you book your order. It will be described as transit time. Since each delivery is different, it is possible that you’ll receive your automobile ahead of the scheduled time.
Can you pick up from a dealership?
Yes, we can. An authorized pick-up person has to meet the trucker and has to be present for the initial inspection. All loose car parts have to be removed from the inside or if outside, properly secured, prior to pick up.
Can you provide full load shipments?
Yes, we can. Just give us a call, and we will secure all slots on the best available carrier. All vehicles will arrive at the same time.
