Shipping a Car

There are many reasons that you need to carefully research a transport company before you hire one. Here are just a few quick tips on doing your research:

While most auto transport companies are legitimate and will provide reliable and safe transport service, there are many that you may find listed that are not legitimate transport companies. Due to an influx of listings from unreliable sources, it is important to carefully check into each company that you locate to ensure they are a real carrier, have a good reputation and provide the actual services they state they offer. You can check transport reviews online and can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if a company has BBB accreditation.
Researching a company not only lets you know the legitimacy of a company, but it also lets you see how they price their services and how their services stack up against other companies.
You can check to see if a company has any hidden fees in their quote by asking them upfront if the rate they quote will be the final quote or if they will be adding new fees once the car has been picked up. Also, be sure to give accurate information about the car when you’re getting a quote as the agent needs to know the correct information in order to schedule the appropriate carrier.
Try to locate companies that are in the local area. These companies may be smaller companies but they are often more reliable as you can speak to someone in person, possibly get a better rate for shipping and will be able to have a better line of communication with them than you may with some of the larger, national transport companies.

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Shelbyville, Indiana?

The average cost to ship a car to or from Shelbyville typically ranges between $400 and $1,000, depending on the distance, vehicle size, and transport method. Shorter regional routes within Indiana or nearby states often fall at the lower end, while coast-to-coast or enclosed transport jobs trend higher. Seasonal demand, especially in winter when enclosed carriers are in higher demand, can also influence pricing. For accurate estimates, review A1’s updated car shipping cost guide.

How long does it take to ship a car from Shelbyville to another state?

Shipping a vehicle from Shelbyville generally takes 2–7 days, depending on the distance, route, and carrier availability. In-state or nearby deliveries (like Illinois or Ohio) can arrive within 1–3 days, while longer interstate moves, such as to Texas or California, often take 5–7 days. Rural pickup points or limited-access routes near Shelby County can add minor delays.

What’s the safest way to transport a classic or luxury car from Shelbyville?

For premium or collector vehicles, enclosed auto transport is the safest method. It shields cars from weather, debris, and road exposure while offering enhanced security during transit. Though typically 30–40% more expensive than open transport, it’s ideal for classic, exotic, or high-value models. To explore protective transport options, check our enclosed auto transport cost guide.

Are there specific requirements before shipping my car from Shelbyville?
