OPEN car shipping

When shipping in or out of Albuquerque, open carriers are the most practical and affordable method. With wide availability, it typically comes with reduced wait times and lower costs. Since your car is exposed on a multi-car hauler, it may accumulate some level of dirt, dust, or weather effects.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed trailers serve specific vehicles: luxury cars; classic, collector-owned automobiles; high-value vehicles where preservation matters; and pristine cars requiring extra protection. Full coverage blocks threats from the New Mexico high desert, like brutal sun and harsh dust.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Albuquerque

  • Albuquerque has multiple MVD field offices throughout the city that handle vehicle registration and driver’s licensing. New Mexico requires surrendering out-of-state licenses when obtaining a license in the state, plus VIN inspections for all newly registered vehicles.
  • UNM students shipping vehicles should check university parking before arrival. The University of New Mexico operates complex permit systems with different zones, costs, and availability based on student status and housing. Some residence halls restrict freshman parking entirely. Visit UNM Parking and Transportation Services website early to understand your options and costs.
  • I-25 and I-40 intersection makes Albuquerque a major Southwest logistics hub. Your vehicle will likely travel through here if shipping across the southern U.S. This central positioning often means competitive pricing and efficient carrier access compared to more remote New Mexico locations.
  • Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the world’s largest hot air balloon event, bringing more than 600 balloons and hundreds of thousands of visitors. Avoid scheduling vehicle pickups or deliveries during this week (early October) when the entire city becomes gridlocked and hotels fill completely.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker's policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle (or battery charge between 45 and 65% for EVs) to be sure it can be loaded and unloaded.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

A simple way to save money on your Albuquerque car shipping is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route, and avoiding seasonal demand.
