How to use your car shipping cost estimate

Enter the pickup and delivery ZIPs, then describe the vehicle and choose open or enclosed transport. The estimate comes from GMF’s pricing service. Your contact request is handled by GMF Auto Transport LLC, the licensed broker identified below.

  1. Compare the same shipment. Keep ZIPs, vehicle size and carrier type consistent when comparing estimates. A different vehicle or enclosed service can change the range.
  2. Share loading details. An inoperable car, modifications, limited clearance or restricted pickup access may require a different carrier. Include those details when requesting confirmation.
  3. Separate pickup from transit. Your earliest available date starts a pickup discussion. It is not a confirmed loading appointment or guaranteed delivery date.
  4. Confirm before booking. An online estimate does not reserve a truck. Ask GMF to confirm the carrier, current price, payment terms and estimated schedule.
