Using Delivery Services
Storage & Insurance - Most auto movers offer two extra services: storage and additional insurance. Supplemental insurance is not usually needed unless you're shipping a vehicle with a high value and are concerned that the basic coverage will not be enough to cover potential damages. Storage yards can be found in most major cities around the United States, and auto transport companies frequently have their storage facilities. If a shipper doesn't have their storage available, they can usually contact you with a local option where you're shipping.
Saving Money on Transport—You can take some simple steps you can take to reduce the cost of shipping your ride, mainly by planning and understanding the options mentioned above.
- Open-air and terminal delivery—The cheapest way to ship a car is to use an open-air mover and haul it to a delivery terminal rather than door-to-door. Enclosed movers can haul fewer vehicles, making the price more expensive per car, and delivery to a terminal reduces fuel costs for the shipper and the customer.
- Planning—If you know well ahead of time that you'll need a vehicle moved, it's a good idea to start planning and contacting companies. The more time you can give the transporter to plan the route details and find enough customers to fill the carrier, the better. Last-minute jobs and rush deliveries typically cost more.
- Discounts—Ask any ride mover you talk to if they offer a discount program. Here at A-1 Auto Transport, we offer specials for military personnel, students, seniors, snowbirds, AAA members, roundtrip booking, and multi-ride delivery, just to name a few. You can view a complete listing of our discounts and specials here.
- Shopping around - Like any other product or service you buy, it's a good idea to shop around when assessing auto shippers. You'll find different prices and service levels from companies, so getting a couple competing for price quotes is a good practice.
Classic & Vintage Cars - For customers who need a classic or vintage vehicle shipped, there are a few options you may want to consider. The first is an enclosed mover, which offers more protection for the car while moving. An additional benefit of using an enclosed mover is that they tend to be smaller trucks, which makes it easier for the driver to accommodate requests for delivery to a specific address. (Larger carriers may have issues navigating some city streets.) Enclosed auto transit is recommended for custom and exotic vehicles since they sometimes have dimensions that make moving them on a multi-car mover difficult.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car shipping from Canton, MI usually cost?
Car shipping from Canton, Michigan typically ranges from $550 to $1,200 for standard vehicles. Pricing is driven by distance, vehicle size, open vs enclosed transport, seasonality, and carrier demand across the Detroit metro area. Longer interstate routes generally cost less per mile than short regional moves. Fuel prices and timing also influence final rates. For a detailed breakdown by mileage, see the car shipping rates guide.
How long does it take to ship a car to or from Canton, MI?
Most shipments to or from Canton take 2–7 days for Midwest or East Coast routes and 7–10 days for cross-country transport. Transit time depends on distance, traffic near I-94 and I-275, weather conditions, and carrier scheduling. Michigan winter weather can add delays. Residential street access and delivery flexibility may also affect timelines.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping in Canton, Michigan?
Yes, door-to-door car shipping is available throughout Canton and surrounding Wayne County areas. The carrier picks up and delivers as close to your address as legally and safely possible, adjusting for street width, parking rules, or low-hanging lines. If access is limited, a nearby meeting point is arranged. This option reduces handling and transit risk compared to terminals. Learn more about door-to-door auto transport.
Is open or enclosed auto transport better for Canton car shipping?
Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option for daily drivers. Enclosed transport offers added protection from road debris, snow, and salt, making it ideal for luxury or classic vehicles in Michigan winters. Enclosed shipping typically costs 30–60% more due to limited capacity and specialized trailers. Vehicle value and seasonal exposure usually determine the best option.
What should I do to prepare my car for shipping from Canton?
Before pickup, wash your vehicle, remove personal items, and document existing damage with photos. Leave about a quarter tank of fuel, disable alarms, and check tire pressure. Cold-weather prep may include battery checks or addressing fluid leaks. The driver completes a condition report at pickup and delivery. For step-by-step prep details, review the car transportation services overview.
Can I ship an inoperable vehicle from Canton, MI?
Yes, inoperable vehicles can be shipped from Canton using carriers equipped with winches or liftgates. These shipments cost more than operable vehicles due to extra loading time and equipment. Weight, wheel condition, and clearance affect pricing and availability. Fewer carriers handle non-running cars, so scheduling flexibility helps.
