How does Montway handle cross-country auto transport?
Putting your vehicle into the hands of one of the nation’s auto transport companies can be stressful. When it comes to shipping your vehicle cross country there’s a lot you need to think about.
Long-distance auto transport comes with its own logistical challenges, but you shouldn’t have to worry about anything besides paying the cross-country car shipping cost. As a leader in the auto transport industry, we have a large carrier network covering the entire US, and we take pride in the fact that we offer multiple long-distance shipping options — all of which are guaranteed to get your vehicle where it needs to go. Keep in mind that the cost of moving a car across the country heavily depends on the distance.
We know how much you rely on your vehicle, which is why we take a personalized approach to cross-country car transport that includes dedicated customer service, around-the-clock monitoring, regular updates, and insurance coverage for your peace of mind.
Factors to consider when shipping a car across the country:
Date
We recommend booking in advance. No matter what, we’ll make it easy by streamlining pickup and delivery while also providing timely updates on your vehicle. You’ll be able to change your dates before your vehicle is dispatched if needed. Montway can accommodate additional services like quicker pickup for a slightly increased cost.
Transport type
Many Montway customers opt for open auto transport, the most popular and affordable way to ship vehicles cross-country. If you prefer added protection against weather and road debris over long distances, consider enclosed transport for your vehicle shipment. This is a popular option for classic and luxury vehicles. Enclosed transport may be required for modified vehicles.
Timing
Shipping a car across the country can take up to two weeks. Be ready to be without your vehicle for at least that long, just in case, though we’re happy to share that most Montway customers receive their vehicles in less time (without charging a higher cost of transporting a car across the country).

This is how we ensure that your vehicle is being moved by trusted members of the industry who will do everything they can to ensure your car arrives on time and in the condition you’re expecting.
