yellow truck

Enclosed shipping. This professional service is designed to protect the customer's vehicle. With the car firmly secured in a container, it is protected against the elements, debris damage, prying eyes, and theft.

Terminal-to-terminal transport: If you are on a tight budget, this is the service for you. You must drop off and pick up your auto at the nearest terminal.

Open-air Haulageinvolves placing your motorcar on the back of a flatbed or an open-sided carrier and shipping it to its destination. Although it doesn't offer the same level of protection as an enclosed carrier, it is more affordable and direct.

We offer freight shipping for people who need something shipped that doesn't fall under any of our other categories. Under this service, you don't need to worry about the size or weight of your shipment. There are no limits to what we ship. Some of the many items we ship and services we provide include full truckload shipments, less than full truckloads, general cargo, warehousing and storage facilities, refrigerated containers, and many more.

Moving heavy equipment requires experience and focus. One slip-up might cause massive injuries to the people handling it and also huge losses for the company. You should ensure that the shipping company handling your shipment has the right machinery and experienced staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car transport from Burlingame cost?

As of August 16, 2026, car transport from Burlingame for a running standard sedan on an open carrier typically falls around $500-$900 for regional trips under about 500 miles, $800-$1,300 for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and $1,300-$1,900 for cross-country moves of about 2,500 miles or more. Exact quotes shift with vehicle size, operability, trailer type, pickup timing, and destination lane. Distance remains the main price driver. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs.

How long does it take to ship a car to or from Burlingame, CA?

Once the vehicle is loaded, Burlingame car shipping typically takes 1-3 days for routes under about 500 miles, 3-6 days for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and 7-10 days for coast-to-coast trips. Pickup assignment happens before loaded transit, so booking-to-delivery time is longer than the driving window alone. Weather, traffic, carrier stop sequence, and the exact destination can move the estimate. Treat the delivery window as an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date.

Is door-to-door car transport available in Burlingame?

Yes, door-to-door car transport is available in Burlingame when a large carrier can legally and safely reach the pickup or delivery address. A1's door-to-door auto transport service explains how this works. Caltrans currently lists one lane in each direction and no left turns in active SR-82 work zones, including Easton Avenue to Ray Drive through mid-September, so pickups near El Camino Real may need a wider meeting point outside the work zone. Your driver should confirm that location before loading.

Should I choose open or enclosed car transport in Burlingame?

Open transport is usually the better fit for a standard daily driver, while enclosed transport adds a covered trailer for classic, exotic, luxury, or especially low-clearance vehicles. Enclosed trailers reduce exposure to rain, dust, and road debris, but the service costs more than open transport. Open carriers are more common and generally offer the lower-cost choice. If protection from outside exposure matters more than the lowest rate, review A1's enclosed auto transport options.

How do I prepare my car for transport from Burlingame?

Prepare your car by cleaning it enough to document existing condition, taking clear photos, removing loose personal items and toll tags, and leaving about one-quarter tank of fuel. Make sure the battery is charged, the tires hold air, and the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer if it is booked as operable. Give the driver a working key and review the pickup Bill of Lading before signing. Repeat the condition check at delivery and note any new damage on the delivery paperwork before you sign.

How do I choose the best car transport company in Burlingame?

For interstate car transport, start by verifying the company rather than relying on review scores or a low quote alone. FMCSA's SAFER and Licensing & Insurance systems let you check the legal name, USDOT or MC identifiers, operating-authority status, and insurance filings before you book. Then compare the written quote for transport method, pickup window, cancellation terms, and payment conditions. A reputable Burlingame car transport company should provide its registration details clearly and enough information to confirm who will arrange and who will physically move the vehicle.
