3 Easy Steps to Book Your Transport

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?

Vehicle transport rates are dynamic. Market fluctuations occur based on seasonal demand, current fuel prices, and the volume of vehicles moving along specific routes. We analyze these variables in real-time to provide the most accurate and competitive quote possible.

Size and Weight

Larger vehicles like SUVs or trucks take up more space and affect fuel consumption.

Running Condition

Non-running vehicles require specialized winching equipment to load safely.

Shipping Distance

Total mileage and the accessibility of your locations determine the base rate.

Open or Enclosed

Choose standard open-air transport or premium enclosed protection for luxury cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! All auto transporters used by Lepke Auto Transport have a minimum of $50k coverage per vehicle in an open transport service. If your vehicle is valued at more than $50k, we recommend enclosed transport, which covers up to $150k. Many companies claim $100k for open transport, but trust me — you don't want to find out the hard way.

Federal law limits auto carriers to hauling vehicles only. However, our carriers typically allow up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk free of charge. Anything exceeding that weight may incur an additional fee.

The driver will get as close to your door as possible. However, since these haulers are 80ft long and 80,000 lbs, they cannot always enter tight residential streets. In those cases, the driver may meet you at a nearby accessible parking lot to ensure a safe loading process.

We take a credit card deposit only AFTER your vehicle is assigned to a carrier — $0 upfront. The remaining balance is paid at delivery via cash, cashier's check, Zelle, or Venmo. You can also pay the full amount by credit card for a 3% processing fee.
