A Simple Way to Move Your Car Between States

State-to-state car shipping is a convenient way to get your vehicle from one place to another without adding road mileage or having to plan a long drive. State-to-state car transport offers pickup, interstate transportation and delivery services for relocations, vehicle purchases and seasonal travel.

How Long Does It Take to Ship a Car to Another State?

Auto transport drivers typically drive up to 600 miles per day. Car shipping timelines depend on driver hours-of-service rules, traffic, weather, road closures, fuel stops, and scheduled vehicle pickups and deliveries.

Short hauls can be completed in 1–3 days, while cross-country vehicle shipping can take anywhere from 7–10 days or more. The time it takes to ship a car to another state depends on the exact locations, carrier availability, route accessibility, time of year demand, and the shipping method.
