Moving out of state, best way to get my car there?

I shipped my car earlier this year when I moved from Chicago to Phoenix. I’d never done it before, so I spent a lot of time comparing quotes and reading reviews. In the end, I went with an open carrier because it was way cheaper and my car’s not new, so I didn’t mind a little road dust.
The driver was pretty communicative, which helped ease some of the stress. Just make sure you’re around for pickup and delivery—there’s paperwork to sign and a quick inspection they do on both ends.The whole process took about six days, and I didn’t run into any issues. Just avoid companies that want full payment upfront.While I didn’t use them directly, I found https://www.a1autotransport.com/ helpful when I was researching how shipping works. Their guides explained stuff clearly without trying too hard to sell you, which I appreciated.

I moved from Dallas to San Francisco last year and also went the route of shipping my car. I debated between driving it myself or using a carrier, but with the long distance and the time I’d have to take off work, shipping just made more sense and actually cost less overall. Like you, I chose an open carrier since my car’s older and some dust didn’t bother me. I think what helped most was picking a company that let me track my delivery online and kept me posted through text updates, which kept the stress down a lot.

If you ever consider another move or need to ship internationally, there are companies like ThreeMovers that handle the whole process, including paperwork and customs. Might be worth looking into if you want a service that deals with everything start to finish.
