Ranges reflect recent shipments for a standard sedan; SUVs and trucks typically add $100–$200. Enclosed figures are estimated at about 1.5× the open auto transport rate.

"This is my 3rd shipment with RoadRunner. 1. Seattle to Charleston, SC 2. Idaho to Charleston, SC 3. Iowa to Charleston, SC. All three have been flawless. On time, good communication, and very professional. I will continue to use RR and highly recommend to others."

"Amazing value for the money. I’ve used RoadRunner twice now—first to move my vehicle from Tennessee to Chicago, and most recently to transport it to San Diego. Even with severe weather, including a snowstorm and freezing rain, delivery was only delayed by one day."

"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."

"Shipped my car from Washington to Missouri. Everything went smoothly and the communication with the drivers was great. Would definitely recommend."

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Tennessee to Washington?

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.

Highly recommend Road Runner over other carriers. Shipped a truck from TN to ND. Very easy process... enter a few pieces of info on the website and get a quote, then get scheduled. Pick up and drop off were prompt and on time. Driver was very professional, with a nice semi and trailer. Didn't have other brokers calling, texting and emailing, just worked strictly with RR. Will use them for future auto transports.
