Using Car Transport Companies

Choosing a company can be difficult without a clear idea of what you want. Here are a few things you should keep in mind.

Can the company meet your needs? Choose five or fewer companies that offer the service you need.
Is the company licensed? Ensure that the company is registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation. Verify their US-DOT and MC numbers.
Do they offer high-quality service? A company offering the cheapest option may be helpful, but you should also consider the quality of service they provide.
How trustworthy is the company? If you are unsure whether a company is credible, research it online. Review customers' feedback.

Long Distance Auto Transport

Your vehicle can be shipped locally or long distances with us. A long-distance car relocating service allows you to move your vehicle from one state to another or any other location over 30 miles away. On the other hand, local hauling is within 30 miles.

Long-distance shifting requires more resources and longer travel times, which makes logistics more challenging. Using a car shipping company can simplify the process. You can rest assured that your vehicle will arrive safely and securely with our auto transport experts. We strive to provide the best possible care for your car during shifting. The equipment we use ensures that your vehicle is transported safely.

Cheap Car Transportation

The cost of our services is as reasonable as possible. However, you must keep in mind that several factors play a role in determining hauling costs, such as:

The type of service you choose - There are two primary shipping services - open and enclosed. Open transport is inexpensive, but the vehicle will be exposed to the elements. It is more expensive to transport your car enclosed, but it is more protected.
Location - Off-route locations, such as those far from the main highway, are more expensive to ship to.
Delivery schedule flexibility - Extra charges apply for expedited deliveries.
Weather - Poor weather can make hauling hazardous, and only some drivers will take the job, increasing shifting costs.
Vehicle size and weight - Larger and heavier cars cost more to transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Hays, Kansas?

As of August 10, 2026, current Hays, KS car shipping market pricing for a standard operable sedan on an open carrier is about $500-$900 for 250-500 miles, $700-$1,300 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,000-$1,600 for 1,500-2,500 miles. A1’s car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs. Vehicle size, operability, enclosed transport, seasonal demand, and pickup access can move the quote outside these bands, so use exact ZIP codes and shipment dates when pricing a Hays move.

How long does car shipping take to or from Hays, KS?

Car shipping to or from Hays typically takes 2-4 loaded transit days for trips up to about 500 miles, 3-6 days for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and 6-10 days for longer cross-country moves after pickup. Pickup scheduling happens before loaded transit, so the carrier-assignment window should be planned separately. Distance, route, weather, and required stops can shift the delivery estimate. Treat the transit window as an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date.

Can I track my vehicle while it’s being shipped from Hays?

Yes, A1’s current tracking system lets booked customers follow a Hays vehicle shipment using a VIN or booking ID and see current status information. The car shipping tracker can show location, route progress, and estimated delivery information after pickup. If tracking has not refreshed for more than 24 hours, A1 directs customers to contact support so the team can confirm the vehicle’s position with the carrier.

Could roadwork north of Hays affect my car-shipping pickup?

Yes, northbound U.S. 183 access can add a short delay because KDOT has bridge repairs underway about 14 miles north of Hays over the Saline River. Traffic through that work zone is reduced to one lane with temporary signals, and KDOT says delays may reach about five minutes; completion is scheduled for the end of October, conditions permitting. This affects shipments approaching Hays on that specific U.S. 183 segment, so allow a little pickup-window flexibility if that is the assigned approach.
