Recent 2026 comparisons consistently put Montway, AmeriFreight, Sherpa, SGT, and uShip among the major options.
Typical cost: roughly $1,000–$1,500 for many long-distance shipments, although your exact price depends heavily on the origin/destination, vehicle size, season, and whether you choose open or enclosed transport.
For a normal daily driver, I'd get quotes from Montway, AmeriFreight, and Sherpa and compare the final/locked price, pickup window, insurance, cancellation terms, and whether the quote is from a broker or the actual carrier.
If you tell me where you're moving from → where you're moving to, your car's year/make/model, and roughly when you need it shipped, I can research current options and give you a realistic price range.
When planning a cross-country move, auto transport companies specialize in moving vehicles safely across state lines. Most companies in the industry operate as brokers —meaning they coordinate your shipment and match you with a vetted carrier driver.[](https://www.extraspace.com/moving/guides/compare/car-shipping-companies-comparison/)

Absolutely. I found several car transport services around Rosemount, MN.
I also found Campbell Auto Transport LLC in Rosemount, which BBB currently lists with an A+ rating.
If you tell me (1) where the car is being picked up, (2) where it's going, (3) the year/make/model, and (4) whether it runs, I can search for for that route.
