Using Vehicle Haulers
- Enclosed Auto Transport - Shipping a vehicle in an enclosed carrier offers excellent protection and security throughout delivery. Like hauling a car on an open-air carrier, the vehicle is secured on a trailer or carrier, with the difference being that the car is completely enclosed in the hauling truck. This offers protection from weather and road debris, making it the preferred delivery method for high-end and luxury vehicle owners. An additional benefit of enclosed auto shipping is that it provides an element of discretion for customers who choose not to have their vehicle in plain sight while it’s being moved.
- Ways To Save - You can save money when sending a vehicle in several ways. Combining any service with auto transport, such as storage, round-trip delivery, or multiple shipments, is a great way to save some cash. When collecting price quotes, mention it if the items discussed above apply to your situation. If you know you’ll need to hire an auto mover and have plenty of time to plan, take advantage of it by contacting several companies to compete for cost estimates. The last thing you want to do is have to pay extra for a last-minute booking! Several companies also offer discounts to their customers that can help you save money. Popular discount programs are for students, seniors, military members, snowbirds, multiple car shipments, and AAA members, to name a few. You can view our list of specials and discounts at A-1 A-T here.
- RV Carrier- Sending an RV is no small job and requires special equipment that not all auto shippers will have available. If you need an RV or motorhome shipped, ensure that any company you contact offers the service. Local hauling and towing companies are not usually equipped to handle oversized vehicles and RVs, especially for long-distance delivery. If you’re a seasonal traveler and need an RV shipped, you may qualify for a snowbird discount and a round-trip special by booking both ends of your shipment simultaneously (see above).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Blaine car shipping typically cost?
Blaine car shipping rates usually range from $700 to $1,600 for most interstate moves, depending on mileage, vehicle size, carrier availability, and season. Routes crossing the Canadian border near Peace Arch and I-5 can affect timing and pricing during peak traffic periods. Open carriers cost less, while enclosed trailers for luxury or classic vehicles cost more. Customers comparing car shipping rates should also factor in fuel prices, pickup flexibility, and Washington weather conditions during winter months.
Can I ship a car from Blaine to another state during winter?
Yes, vehicles are shipped year-round from Blaine, including during winter. However, snow conditions through Washington mountain passes and heavy rain near the coast can affect carrier schedules between November and February. Flexible pickup windows help carriers avoid weather-related delays and keep pricing more stable. Most standard sedans and SUVs ship without problems during winter, although oversized trucks or inoperable vehicles may require additional coordination. Booking early is especially helpful during the holiday and snowbird relocation seasons.
How long does car shipping to or from Blaine, Washington take?
Most Blaine car shipping deliveries take 2 to 8 days after pickup, depending on route distance and carrier scheduling. West Coast routes to California are often faster, while cross-country deliveries to Florida or New York can take over a week. Traffic near the U.S.-Canada border and winter weather along Interstate 5 may slightly delay transit times. Using a door-to-door auto transport service can also reduce terminal delays and simplify delivery in residential neighborhoods around Blaine.
Is open or enclosed transport better for Blaine shipping services?
Open carriers are the most common option for Blaine shipping services because they are more affordable and widely available. Enclosed transport is recommended for exotic, luxury, antique, or high-value vehicles needing added protection from road debris and Pacific Northwest rain. Enclosed trailers generally cost 30% to 60% more than open transport but provide greater protection during long-distance hauling. Customers moving specialty vehicles often choose enclosed auto transport for added security and weather protection.
What should I do before my vehicle is picked up in Blaine?
Before pickup, wash the vehicle, remove personal belongings, document existing damage with photos, and leave about one-quarter tank of fuel. Washington-based carriers also recommend checking tire pressure and battery condition before loading. Toll passes and loose accessories should be removed to avoid transit issues. Federal FMCSA guidance generally prohibits household goods inside transported vehicles because extra weight can affect carrier compliance and insurance coverage. Preparing your car properly helps streamline inspections and reduces pickup delays.
Do Blaine transport companies offer door-to-door delivery?
Most Blaine transport companies offer door-to-door delivery whenever truck access is safe and legal. Carriers typically pick up and deliver as close to your address as possible, though narrow residential streets, low tree clearance, or HOA restrictions may require meeting nearby in a larger parking area. Door-to-door service is popular because it saves time compared to terminal shipping and reduces vehicle handling. Customers using car transportation services often choose this option for convenience and faster scheduling.
