"I transported 2 Jeep Grand Cherokees from CA to PA and could not have been more pleased. Equipment was top notch, driver was professional and exceedingly courteous, prices were in line and fair and vehicles arrived on time and in perfect condition."
"I had to have 2 vehicles picked up at a business in Tennessee and shipped to my shop in Philly. Very reasonable rates. Smooth transaction. Scheduled transport online. Received update messages (email/text) during entire transport. No problems."
"I had an extremely positive experience with RoadRunner! The first thing I'd like to mention is that this company is a broker, but it's all done behind the scenes so you won't be inundated with calls and texts from multiple companies - RoadRunner will just reach out to you once an available carrier…"
"Final quote came in higher than the estimate online but I suppose that's to be expected. The process was seamless over my move from PA to CA. Pickup was at my residence in PA and the delivery completed 8 days later, 1 day ahead of schedule, in CA, where I was able to pickup my car just a 2 min walk…"
Open or Enclosed Transport for Pennsylvania to Alabama?
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.
