Cost depends primarily on distance, vehicle size, transport type (open vs enclosed), and season. Coast-to-coast lanes (2,500+ miles) run $1,100-$1,800 open; regional routes under 1,000 miles run $500-$900."},{q:"How long does it take to ship a car across the country?",a:"Cross-country car shipping typically takes 7-14 days door-to-door in 2026. Coast-to-coast transit alone runs 5-10 days once loaded; pickup usually happens within 1-5 days of booking. Hawaii and Alaska add 10-21 days due to ocean freight."},{q:"Is it cheaper to ship a car or drive it?",a:"For distances over 1,000 miles, shipping is usually cheaper than driving when you factor in fuel, hotels, meals, wear-and-tear (~$0.15/mile), and lost work time. Home Moving Now research shows a Los Angeles-to-New York drive costs $1,500-$2,200 in real out-of-pocket expenses vs $1,100-$1,600 to ship open transport."},{q:"Should I use a broker or a carrier direct?",a:"Carriers own the trucks and can guarantee capacity but only serve limited routes. Brokers access thousands of carriers and typically get faster pickup on most lanes. According to Home Moving Now research, 90%+ of consumer car shipping bookings go through brokers because the carrier-direct network is fragmented. The risk with brokers is bait-and-switch lowball quotes - always verify DOT/MC numbers and cargo insurance before signing."},{q:"What's the cheapest way to ship a car?",a:"The cheapest legitimate way to ship a car in 2026 is open transport with a flexible 5-7 day pickup window during off-season months (October-February). Terminal-to-terminal service saves $75-$150 vs door-to-door. Avoid quotes more than 25% below the median for your route - these are almost always broker bait, not actual carrier bids."},{q:"Is enclosed auto transport worth the extra cost?",a:"Enclosed transport costs 40-60% more than open transport ($1,000-$3,000 vs $500-$1,800). Per Home Moving Now research, it's worth the premium for classic cars, exotics, low-clearance vehicles, or any car valued over $70,000. For daily drivers, standard sedans, SUVs, and trucks, open transport is the industry standard and fully insured."},{q:"How do I verify a car shipping company is legitimate?",a:"Check three things on the FMCSA SAFER site (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov): (1) active USDOT number, (2) active MC (Motor 

1Carrier) number, and (3) current cargo insurance certificate. Legitimate carriers and brokers will provide all three on request.
