Using Auto Transport Services
Preparing Your Car - Before your car can be picked up for transport, there a few steps you’ll need to take to make sure it’s ready to be shipped, which we’ll briefly go over here. Most shippers will request that you have no more than 1/4 tank of gas in the vehicle before shipping and you may face an additional fee if there is more than that. The vehicle should also be thoroughly cleaned, both inside and out, including the removal of any personal belongings. Any external components that can be removed should be removed, which includes custom parts, electronic devices, luggage racks, etc. Alarms systems should be deactivated prior to shipping so that they don’t go off in the middle of the delivery. And finally, the vehicle should be in a good running condition so that it can be easily moved on and off the carrier. (Some companies, ourselves included, can move inoperable vehicles.)
For more details on how to prepare your car for shipping, see this resource from our information center.
Information You’ll Need - Getting a price estimate for an auto shipper is a relatively simple process if you have all the information you need. Before you apply for a price quote, here’s the information you’ll want to have ready:
- The current location and shipping destination for your vehicle
- The type of vehicle, including make, model and year
- If the vehicle is in running condition
- If there are any special instructions or requests
- If you need temporary storage after shipment
- Your desired timeframe for pick up and delivery
- If you need an enclosed or open carrier
With this information ready to go, you’ll be able to easily and quickly get several competing price quotes from shippers and compare them to find the best fit for what you need.
Most Affordable Option - Saving money is always important to our customers and there are a couple of ways to make sure you get the best price. The first is by choosing the less expensive shipping methods. If you have your vehicle shipped to a terminal on an open air, multi-car carrier, it will cost less than having it shipped by itself directly to your door. (This, of course, depends on the type of vehicle you’re shipping and your level of comfort with using an open air carrier.) Delivery to a terminal means that you’ll have to pick up the vehicle at the end of the shipment, but most companies have shipping terminals in major cities around the U.S. A multi-car carrier reduces the price since several vehicles can be moved at the same time. Some auto transport companies have discount programs, which can be another great way to save--just make sure you ask; they’re not always advertised!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from La Crosse, WI?
Shipping a car to or from La Crosse typically costs $550–$1,200 for most domestic routes. Pricing is driven by distance, vehicle size, carrier type, and seasonality. Midwest routes connected to Wisconsin are usually more affordable due to steady carrier traffic. Winter demand and rural pickup points outside La Crosse can raise rates slightly. Open carriers are the most cost-effective option. Reference typical price ranges in our car shipping rates guide.
Can I ship a vehicle cross country from La Crosse, WI?
Yes, cross-country vehicle shipping from La Crosse is common, especially to the West Coast, Southeast, and Northeast. Typical costs range from $900–$1,500, with transit times of 5–9 days. Pricing depends on route length, fuel costs, and carrier availability. La Crosse’s Midwest location allows efficient routing, helping control long-distance costs compared to remote rural origins.
How long does car shipping take from La Crosse to another state?
Vehicle transport from La Crosse usually takes 2–7 days, depending on total mileage and route demand. Short Midwest routes move faster, while coast-to-coast shipping can take up to a week or more. Timing is influenced by driver availability, DOT hours-of-service rules, and weather along major corridors like I-90. Accurate timing estimates are based on mileage brackets shown in our cost and distance estimates.
Is door-to-door car shipping available in La Crosse, Wisconsin?
Yes, door-to-door car shipping is widely available across La Crosse and nearby areas. Carriers collect and deliver your vehicle as close to your address as safety and access allow. Street width, parking restrictions, and truck size may require a nearby meetup point in dense neighborhoods. This service reduces handling and saves time compared to terminals. Full details are explained in our door-to-door auto transport service overview.
Is my car insured during transport from La Crosse?
Yes, all carriers servicing La Crosse are required to carry FMCSA-compliant cargo insurance while your vehicle is in transit. Coverage limits vary by carrier, so verification is important before pickup. The carrier’s insurance is primary during shipping, while your personal auto policy may offer secondary coverage. A condition report at pickup and delivery documents your vehicle’s status under federal transport guidelines.
What types of car transport are available in La Crosse?
La Crosse customers can choose open transport, enclosed transport, or expedited shipping. Open carriers are the most economical and handle standard vehicles. Enclosed transport is recommended for classic, luxury, or high-value cars, offering protection from weather and road debris. Expedited shipping prioritizes pickup and delivery windows. Learn when added protection makes sense by reviewing enclosed auto transport options.
