Ranges reflect recent shipments for a standard sedan; SUVs and trucks typically add $100–$200. Enclosed figures are estimated at about 1.5× the open auto transport rate.

"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!"

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Florida to Montana?

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.

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

1

Schedule in advance

Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.

2

Prep and empty the vehicle

Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.

3

Inspect at pickup and delivery

Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.

I recently used RoadRunner Auto Transport to ship my Sprinter from Brooklyn to Miami, and the whole process went very smoothly. From the start, their team was responsive and easy to work with, keeping me updated throughout the transport. The pickup was on time, the delivery was right within the expected window, and the vehicle arrived in perfect condition.
