"Easy online quote and booking platform. Steady text communications before during and at delivery. Driver arrived 2 days earlier than promised."

"These guys were amazing. It was a tough pick up, but they got the vehicle and made great time on the road. They were very courteous and professional at drop off as well. 5 Stars, would definitely use their services again if needed."

"Roadrunner transportation was quick to respond with a quote for our move from NJ to KS. The cars were handled with care upon pick up and delivery. We would definitely recommend them to others."

"I hired RoadRunner to transport my Corvette from Knoxville to Wichita. From pick-up to delivery the trip was made in 30 hours. The car arrived in perfect shape, with no sign of damage."

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Kansas to Idaho?

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.

Great experience in having a vehicle I bought in Idaho transported to Arizona. The only negative would be that the subcontractor didn’t use Roadrunner’s text update system, but the driver did keep me updated when he was close to our pick-up location. I would recommend.
