Using Hauling Companies

Licensed & Insured - These are two important designations for any company that moves vehicles, usually found in the popular industry phrase, “licensed, bonded & insured.” While being bonded is important as a consumer protection, licensing and insurance are what directly impact your ability to get compensated for any damages. You can look up companies at the FMCSA website by using their Motor Carrier License number, or MC#.
RV Shipping - Yes, some companies can, even more, your RV! This is a service that is popular among seasonal travelers and snowbirds since it allows the freedom of regional travel without having to drive your RV to your destination. Not every company will offer this service so you should look for one that has experience moving RVs, fifth wheels and oversize vehicles.
Call Companies - The hauling industry tends to offer free quotes online for customers that want an idea of the cost of moving a car, but this should only be the first step. Once you’ve narrowed down the field to a few companies that offer the service you want at a reasonable price, pick up the phone and give them a call to verify details and ask questions. Not only will this clarify the process and the type of haulers you need, it will give you an idea of their customer service and overall professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Bloomington, MN car shipping cost?

As of August 25, 2026, Bloomington, MN car shipping on open transport typically runs $600-$950 for 250-500 miles, $850-$1,400 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,250-$1,800 beyond 1,500 miles. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs. These bands assume a running standard-size car; larger vehicles, enclosed equipment, non-running condition, and tight pickup dates can raise the quote. Exact ZIP codes and vehicle details still control the final price.

How long does car shipping take from Bloomington, Minnesota?

Loaded car shipping from Bloomington typically takes 1-4 days under 500 miles, 2-7 days for 500-1,500 miles, and 5-10 days on longer cross-country routes. These ranges begin after carrier pickup, so assignment and the pickup window happen before transit. Weather, driver-hour limits, scheduled stops, and destination access can shift the delivery estimate. A long western or Florida route generally sits near the upper end, while nearby Midwest lanes usually move faster.

Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Bloomington, MN?

Yes, door-to-door car shipping is available in Bloomington, but a large carrier may use a nearby legal meeting point when a residential street cannot support safe loading. Bloomington's freight plan identifies I-35W, I-494, US 169, and Highway 77 as principal arterials for truck movement and seeks to limit disruptive truck activity in residential neighborhoods. A1's door-to-door auto transport service explains how address-based pickup works. Confirm the meeting location with the driver before pickup so the trailer has enough legal space to maneuver.

Can I track a car shipment from Bloomington, MN?

Yes, A1 can provide shipment-status updates for a car picked up in Bloomington through the order's tracking information, with coordinator or driver updates when needed. The vehicle tracking guide explains how status and estimated-arrival updates work after pickup. A tracking feed may not refresh continuously if a carrier connection or device is temporarily offline, so a brief gap does not automatically mean the shipment has stopped. If the ETA changes materially, contact the coordinator for the carrier's latest confirmed status.

Is enclosed auto transport available in Bloomington, MN?

Yes, enclosed auto transport is available for Bloomington shipments and is most useful for classic, exotic, luxury, restored, or low-clearance vehicles that need more protection. A covered trailer reduces exposure to rain, snow, road debris, and salt spray during Minnesota travel. Enclosed service generally costs more and may take longer to schedule because fewer vehicles fit on each trailer and carrier availability is lower on some lanes. For a standard daily driver, open transport usually remains the more economical choice.

What should I do to prepare my car for shipping from Bloomington, MN?

Before pickup in Bloomington, wash the car enough to document its condition, take clear photos, remove personal items and loose accessories, and leave about one-quarter tank of fuel. Disable the alarm, remove toll tags, and check for leaks; make sure the battery and tires are serviceable unless you booked the vehicle as non-running. Keep the keys ready for the driver and review the pickup inspection before signing. In snowy weather, clear enough ice and snow for the exterior inspection to be accurate.
