"This was my first time transporting a car. The driver/secretary for driver was very good with contacting me about the time he would arrive to pick up car, as well as when the car was delivered. The price was less than 2other company’s. Very thankful everyone involved made this easy for me aiding me…"
"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"
"Great service. My car was shipped from Maryland to California, and everything went smoothly. The first driver called to meet me at a different location because his trailer couldn't enter my community, but he was very sweet and professional."
"This was my 1st time using RoadRunner services for transport from Dallas to Louisiana. The Dispatcher Adrian made the process easy and less stressful with answering any questions I had and good customer service. Shoutout and Thanks to the driver Lima as well🎯"
Open or Enclosed Transport for Louisiana to Maryland?
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.
