Why Not Drive?

The cost of hiring a company to ship your ride may be prohibitive for a lot of customers, especially when compared to the cost of gas and driving it yourself. While it's always good to do a cost comparison when considering your options, many people fail to realize the actual cost of driving is probably higher than expected. If you need a vehicle moved a long distance or across the country, you need to look carefully at how much it costs in terms of not just gas, but also your time, food, lodging, and potential maintenance issues. AAA estimates the average cost per mile for driving a vehicle to be between 50 and 80 cents per mile, putting it around the same price range as an auto transporter.

Carriers

There are two different types of firms you'll come in contact with when seeking out cost estimates for shipping your ride. The first is the carrier or transporter. This is the person or organization that physically loads, carries, and delivers your vehicle. Carriers are typically the ones who own the trucks and trailers that are used in the transit industry. Some customers may prefer to work directly with a carrier, but they're not always easy to track down because their main operational focus is on delivery routes and the conveyance side. Because of this, many carriers don't have the staffing or resources to maintain a customer service department or, in some cases, even a website.

Brokers

Brokers, sometimes called freight forwarders, are companies that organize transit between the customer and the carrier. As mentioned above, this is a necessity for a lot of carriers in the industry since they don't have the time to devote their staff to finding customers and ensuring delivery trucks are full before departure. Brokers have access to load boards where they can post customer requests that are then filled or bid on by a carrier. Some brokers may partner with a small number of trusted carriers in their area, while others have a broader reach and provide better options for customers looking to save money when hauling a vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Redding, CA?

The average cost to ship a car to or from Redding typically ranges between $600 and $1,200, depending on distance, vehicle type, carrier availability, and the chosen service type. For shorter routes within California, expect lower rates around $400–$700, while coast-to-coast transport may reach $1,100 or more. Costs can also rise during peak moving seasons or for enclosed transport. Learn more with our detailed car shipping cost guide.

How long does car shipping take in the Redding area?

Transit times depend on pickup location, route distance, and carrier schedules. Within California, shipping usually takes 2–4 days, while cross-country delivery to the East Coast can take 7–10 days. Weather conditions in Northern California, especially during winter or wildfire season, can occasionally affect schedules. For faster delivery, customers often choose our expedited auto transport option.

Are there car dealerships in Redding that work with auto transport services?

Yes. Many Redding, CA car dealerships and used car dealers partner with transport carriers to move inventory between Northern California and major hubs like Sacramento or Los Angeles. These partnerships often use open carriers for efficiency, though high-end dealers may prefer enclosed shipping for luxury vehicles. Explore how dealers benefit from dealer-to-dealer transport options.

What is the best way to prepare a car for transport from Redding?

Start by washing your car and removing personal items, as federal regulations prohibit these inside shipped vehicles. Check for existing scratches or dents and document them with photos. Ensure your gas tank is no more than a quarter full and that the battery is secure. For a full checklist, visit our car transportation services guide.

Can I get door-to-door car shipping service in Redding?

Yes, door-to-door delivery is available throughout Redding and surrounding Shasta County areas. Carriers will pick up and drop off your vehicle as close as possible to your address, provided local access roads allow large transport trucks. This is often the most convenient option for residential or dealership deliveries. See more details in our door-to-door auto transport overview.

From skeptical to fully trusting
★★★★★

I was really skeptical about shipping my car across the country at first. But working with this company made everything feel seamless and a lot less stressful. There were times I called feeling worried, and they always reassured me and followed through. I’ve actually used A1 Auto Transport a few more times since, and I’m about to book again.

Lynn Harper
Made the whole thing easy
★★★★★

This was a great company to work with when we needed to ship my daughter’s car out from California. I was honestly overwhelmed comparing all the options and quotes out there. The team here was easy to deal with, stayed responsive, and helped me understand everything along the way. It really helps having someone you know will pick up the phone and make sure it’s handled right.

Helen Brooks

I trusted them with my Camry and was really happy with how everything turned out. Communication was easy, and whenever I had a question I got a quick, clear response. My car was picked up and delivered right on schedule, and the driver was careful and friendly. The whole move went very smoothly, which I appreciated.

Kevin Chan
Reliable even if slightly higher
★★★★★

Excellent service overall from this car shipping team. They arranged everything quickly, and communication was clear throughout. The price was a bit higher than some other quotes I saw, but it stayed consistent and the service felt reliable. I would use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing interstate transport.
