Choosing the Right Transport Method

Open carrier transport is the most cost-effective option and is suitable for standard vehicles.

Enclosed transport can be approximately 30% to 50% more expensive than open carriers.

Delivery Timeframes

The average distance between Delaware and Kansas is around 1,372 miles. Transit times typically range from 3 to 8 days, influenced by factors such as weather conditions, road closures, and the specific pickup and delivery locations.

Tips for a Smooth Shipping Experience

  • Plan Ahead: Booking your shipment in advance can help secure better rates and ensure availability, especially during peak moving seasons.
  • Prepare Your Vehicle: Clean your car thoroughly and document its condition with photos. This will be useful in case of any disputes regarding damages during transit.
  • Understand Insurance Coverage: Ensure that the transport company provides adequate insurance coverage for your vehicle during transit. Don't hesitate to ask for proof of insurance and understand the terms.
  • Stay Informed: Choose a company that offers real-time tracking or regular updates so you can monitor your vehicle's journey and be informed of any delays.

Fast Delivery, Minor Glitches, Still Worth It
★★★★★

We shipped our car from Delaware to Kansas and were impressed overall. The driver picked up over the weekend and had it delivered in just a few days. There were a couple of quirks with scheduling and contact names, but nothing major. The driver was careful and efficient, and that’s what mattered most. Would recommend them again.
