"Fast pickup. Faster delivery. Schedule for Wednesday pickup on Monday, car delivered enclosed following Monday from CA to NY. Great communication throughout. Car in perfect shape."

"Great experience all around. The delivery went smoothly, arrived a day earlier than anticipated, driver was great, car in perfect condition (Iowa to NY). Scheduling was outstanding! Dealership had last minute delays and I had to reschedule twice and roadrunner easily accommodated."

"We shipped my daughter’s car from Oregon to upstate New York. The price was very reasonable, delivery time was quicker than expected and the communication was very good. Road runner and the driver provided updates all along the way. Would use them again."

"Excellent communication, friendly driver, safe journey from NY to Arizona! Driver contacted me to let me know when he would pick up the car and he was on time. He let me know when the car was going to be delivered, and was on time. The car arrived safely with no damage."

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Montana to New York?

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.
