"Paid $900 to get my wife’s brand new car from Naples Florida to Fairplay MD. Didn’t pay for extra coverage, car came in 4 days without a scratch, communication & updates were excellent. Reasonable price, would definitely use this company again"
"The process of getting a pick up was simple and easy. I thought the price was fair. The driver Max was phenomenal. Great with communications on my end and my wife in Florida."
"Used Roadrunner to transport my BMW i4 from Miami to North Virginia. Super easy—all setup online, great communication, and fair price too! My truck driver, Mario, was excellent. The pickup was on Wednesday and delivery on Sunday. Don't hesitate to call them for your next quote."
"Our experience with RoadRunner was far better than expected on the transport of our Lexus from Florida to California. We received a quote and the vehicle was picked up 1 day after we confirmed shipment!"
Open or Enclosed Transport for Florida to Louisiana?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.
