Standard Enclosed Car Transport Delivery Times

There are a few questions that we receive regularly when it comes to the process of shipping a vehicle, whether it’s in an enclosed carrier or an open-air carrier. The first type involves the price of shipment and the second is often how long it will take for delivery. In this article, we’ll address the second question and explain the various aspects of auto transport that can affect the delivery time, as well as steps you can take to speed up the process if necessary.

Getting an accurate timeframe for the delivery of your vehicle is important to our customers because they often have to coordinate their schedules to be present when the vehicle arrives. (One thing that should be noted here is that the owner doesn’t necessarily have to be the one that receives the vehicle delivery, but you should contact the company shipping the vehicle to make arrangements for another person to accept the shipment if this is the case.) Having an accurate idea of when your vehicle will be arriving makes it much easier to organize pick-up around the other obligations in your day-to-day life, which is why we make every effort to stick to a specified schedule of delivery dates and times.

A-1 Auto Transport offers nationwide delivery to any city or location across the U.S. and we pride ourselves on timely delivery and professional service! All customers are eligible for a FREE cost estimate for any vehicle shipment and our staff is available to answer any questions you may have.

Another consideration you should keep in mind when having a car shipped is that storage is always an option if you’re not available during the delivery timeframe. We maintain storage facilities in every metro area across the U.S. and it can easily be arranged for a small additional fee if you need your vehicle held for a few days before pick up.

Approximate Transport Delivery Times

Once your vehicle has been picked up by the auto transport company, delivery is usually carried out anywhere from two to seven days, depending on the shipping distance. There are cases in which a vehicle can be transported on the same day or within 24 hours, but that again is dependent on the shipping distance. In most cases, same-day car shipping is available for distances up to 300-400 miles as that is usually the furthest a carrier can travel in one day. If you do find yourself in need of same-day delivery, it’s best to choose an enclosed carrier since they can make the trip quicker due to the smaller size of the truck and the lesser weight that comes with shipping fewer vehicles. It’s also easier to facilitate door-to-door delivery for the same reasons.

The main things that will affect how quickly your vehicle can be delivered include, but are not limited to, the following factors:

  • Shipping distance
  • Transport method (enclosed or open carrier)
  • Type of vehicle
  • Size and weight of the vehicle
  • Whether storage is needed
  • Delivery location (terminal shipping or door-to-door)

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
