These roads lead to localities within the county and beyond making vehicle transportation a walk in the park for our drivers. Some of the roads that we use are Interstate 75, 96, 275 and 696 which are considered major transportation routes. These interstate roads connect us to the main cities in the county and the rest of Michigan allowing us to ship vehicles much faster. Additionally, our drivers use US Route 24 which connects to areas that are not directly linked to the main interstate roads. The US highway is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation making it an ideal route for our drivers.
In addition to Oakland County, our drivers also extend car transportation services to neighboring counties. These counties include Lapeer County to the northeast, Genesee County to the northwest, Macomb County to the east, Wayne County to the southeast, Washtenaw County to the southwest and Livingston County to the west. To gain access to these counties we use Michigan State Highways 1, 5, 10, 24, 39, 59, 102 and 150.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car from Oakland County?
As of September 2, 2026, Oakland County car shipping on an open carrier generally runs $450-$650 nearby, $750-$1,200 medium-distance, and $1,200-$1,600 cross-country. For planning, those bands mean up to about 500 miles, roughly 500-1,500 miles, and many routes above 2,000 miles. These figures assume a running standard car; larger vehicles, enclosed service, inoperable loading, or tight pickup dates can raise the quote. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main pricing inputs.
How long does car shipping take from Oakland County to another state?
Loaded transit from Oakland County typically takes 1-2 days under 500 miles, 2-6 days for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and 6-8 days on many 2,000+ mile routes. Those ranges start when the vehicle is picked up, not when you place the order. Carrier routing, weather, and required stops can move the delivery window, especially on long interstate trips. Pickup scheduling happens before loaded transit, so keep the quoted pickup window separate from the travel-time estimate.
What is the cheapest way to ship a car from Oakland County?
For a running everyday vehicle, open-carrier transport with a flexible pickup window is usually the lowest-cost professional option from Oakland County. Open trailers carry several vehicles at once and are more widely available than enclosed equipment, which keeps the base rate lower. Choosing a 3-5 day pickup window can also cost less than requesting an exact or expedited pickup date. Enclosed transport usually costs more because the trailer carries fewer vehicles and provides additional shielding from weather and road debris.
Is door-to-door car shipping available in Oakland County?
Door-to-door car shipping is available in Oakland County, with pickup and delivery at the requested address when a large trailer can reach it legally and safely. With A1's door-to-door auto transport service, the driver may instead arrange a nearby legal meeting point when street access or active road work blocks the exact address. MDOT lists eastbound I-696 from M-10 to I-75 as closed and detoured through late 2026, so pickups around that corridor may need an alternate approach. Confirm the meeting location with the driver before pickup.
Is enclosed auto transport available for Oakland County car shipping?
Enclosed auto transport is available for Oakland County shipments and is most useful for classic, luxury, exotic, or other high-value vehicles. The covered trailer reduces exposure to weather and road debris during transit. Enclosed service generally costs about 30-50% more than open transport for many standard moves, although scarce trailer capacity or specialized loading needs can push the premium higher. A1's enclosed auto transport options explain when the additional protection is worth considering.
Can I ship a non-running vehicle from Oakland County?
A non-running vehicle can be shipped from Oakland County, but the carrier needs equipment that can load a car that cannot drive onto the trailer. Winch-equipped transport is common for inoperable cars; if the vehicle cannot roll, steer, or brake, disclose that before booking because the equipment requirement can change. A1's inoperable auto transport guide explains this service. Early disclosure helps avoid assigning a carrier that cannot safely load the vehicle.
