"Great work. On time. Thorough job secured two classic cars. Delivered in time. No damage to either. Appreciate the updates prior to loading. Photos are leaving NC and arriving in FL."
"RoadRunner shipped our son's car from NC to Texas in a timely manner that fit our schedule. The communication from the company and driver was a plus. We would definitely use them again!"
"I recently moved from Denver, CO to Greensboro, NC. I got the car to them on a Saturday and got it that Wednesday. The car was well taken care of while it was in their possession. The transporter was readily available throughout the transport and communicated with me every step of the way."
"We had excellent service! Communication was excellent from pickup in North Carolina to delivery in Massachusetts. Edward (Oasis) was very professional and I would highly recommend Road Runner Auto Transport."
Open or Enclosed Transport for North Carolina to Delaware?
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.
