Shipped my Camaro from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Driver was on time, communication was excellent, and the car arrived without a scratch. Big Bear's price beat every other quote by hundreds.

We use Big Bear for our dealership inventory transfers. Their dispatch portal saves us hours each week, and pickup times are reliable. A real partner, not just a broker.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your auto transport.

How much does it cost to ship a car?
Auto transport prices typically range from $600 to $2,000 depending on distance, vehicle size, transport type (open versus enclosed), seasonality, and delivery timing. Request a quote and we will provide an exact, all-in price.
How long does shipping a car take?
Most cross-country shipments take seven to ten days from pickup. Shorter regional routes can be one to four days. Once your carrier is dispatched, you will receive a precise pickup and estimated delivery window.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier in our network carries comprehensive cargo insurance. We verify each carrier's policy and limits before dispatch, and we will provide proof of coverage upon request.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
You — or a designated representative age eighteen or older — must be present at both pickup and delivery to sign the Bill of Lading and complete the vehicle inspection. A friend, family member, or neighbor can stand in for you.
Can I pack personal items in the car?
Personal items up to 100 pounds may be placed in the trunk, but they are not covered by the carrier's cargo insurance. We recommend removing all valuables before shipping.
When do I pay for auto transport?
No payment is taken at the time of booking. A small deposit is typically charged once a carrier is assigned, and the balance is paid to the carrier upon delivery.
