How it works

How does vehicle transport to and from Lexington work?

how does vehicle transport to and from Lexington work
  1. 1

    Get your car shipping quote

    Enter your pickup and delivery details and your Lexington vehicle transport price appears on screen in seconds. Choose open-carrier shipping, the most popular and cost-effective option, or an enclosed carrier for additional protection.

  2. 2

    Vehicle pickup

    Book online or with a transport coordinator and pick a date. On pickup day your vehicle is inspected, carefully loaded onto the carrier, and you can track the status of your shipment online at any time.

  3. 3

    Vehicle delivery

    On delivery day your vehicle is safely offloaded and a final inspection confirms it arrived in the same condition as when it was picked up.

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives in Lexington

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.

From Booking to Delivery in Lexington: How Long It Takes

Shipping a car to Lexington

Inbound Lexington auto transport ends at your door in Lexington or in Keeneland, Hamburg. The carrier comes in on the Lexington & the Bluegrass lanes with a delivery window set once the truck is a day out, and the driver checks the vehicle with you against the condition recorded at pickup before you sign for it.

If you are moving in, the quote is the same whether the car rides ahead of you or after you; Kentucky registration comes afterwards, and the Kentucky DMV links in the pickup section above cover that paperwork.

Shipping a car from Lexington

Outbound, Lexington auto transport starts with one quote for the exact vehicle and dates. A transport coordinator assigns the carrier on the Lexington & the Bluegrass runs, confirms the pickup date, and from then on the driver is your contact for timing.

Open transport is the standard choice for a daily driver leaving Kentucky; enclosed transport is there for a car that should arrive without weather or road debris on it. Either way the price you see is for your exact vehicle, not a class average.

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Lexington?

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.

Tips

Tips for shipping a car to or from Lexington

1

Keep the pickup window flexible

A two- to three-day window lets the dispatcher place your car on the first carrier passing through; a fixed single day is the most expensive way to book.

2

Name a second contact for the handoff

Someone over 18 has to release and accept the vehicle, hand over the keys and sign the inspection reports. If you cannot be at the Lexington address yourself, name a person you trust at booking.

3

Say so if the car does not run

Inoperable vehicles ship on a carrier with a winch, for an additional fee and usually a slightly longer wait for the right truck. Mention it at quote time so the assignment is right the first time.

Had a Corvette C8 brought from a dealership in mid Kentucky all the way up to NW Ohio with no issues. Took 2 days from when I contacted them until I was in the drivers seat. Enclosed trailer at just above half of what I was quoted by dealership. Totally worth it.
