OPEN car shipping

Choosing open carrier transport is a great option for transporting your car, truck, ATV, or motorcycle to Rockford. Because of their ability to easily load and unload multiple vehicles, open carriers are often a more efficient transport option, for both timing and budgets. The only trade-off is exposure to outdoor conditions, meaning your vehicle might arrive with a bit of dust and dirt from the road.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Fully enclosed trailers offer an elevated transport option that is strongly recommended for luxury, vintage, or specialty vehicles. With liftgates or reduced-angle ramps, these trailers are easier on vehicles with low-ground clearance and offer added protection from debris and weather. The trade-off is enclosed carriers are typically more expensive than open car shipping options.

5 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Rockford

  • Explore the city’s unique art and outdoor exhibits, including public parks, gardens, and museums. The city’s events calendar is a great place to start.
  • Prepare for wintery weather, including heavy snowfall and freezing rain. Winter weather emergency kits are a good idea for your vehicle. You’ll also need to prepare your new home for weather impacts, too!
  • Expect construction and lane and road closures especially during the summer months. Check the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for scheduled maintenance so you can plan around peak congestion or adjust your travel routes accordingly.
  • Update your home and billing address for your subscriptions, online shopping and other accounts. Don’t forget your driver’s license, too.
  • If you and your vehicle are leaving Rockford, remember to remove your I-Pass to avoid incurring fees while your vehicle is in transit.

Rockford car shipping FAQs

Rockford car shipping costs will vary depending on several factors including shipment distance, pickup and dropoff locations, and vehicle size and weight. 

 

On average, auto transport to and from Rockford will cost approximately $1.85 per mile for shipments under 500 miles. Shipments between 500-1,500 miles cost $.91 per mile on average, and $.59 per mile for shipments over 1,500 miles.

Local or regional car shipments from Rockford, between 200 and 600 miles, generally take 2 to 4 days. You can expect about 4 to 6 days for moves between 1,000 and 1,500 miles, and 7 to 9 days when the vehicle relocation is over 2,400 miles. See Montway’s reference chart for more timeframes. Keep in mind that the vehicle type, time of year, and other factors go into determining transit time.

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.

A simple way to save money 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. Discover more car shipping tips to help keep money in your pocket.

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.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Also remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Remove any automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading but not so much to start adding extra weight. If shipping an EV, ensure the battery is charged between 45% and 65%.

Yes, a person must be present at both pick up and delivery to sign inspection reports, hand the keys over to the driver, and release and accept the vehicle. If you are unable to be there, you must find a person over the age of 18 that you trust to oversee the process.
