How long does it take to transport a car to and from Alabama?

Several factors affect how long it takes to ship a car to or from Alabama, including distance, route demand, traffic, and weather conditions. Because Alabama sits along major Southeast transport routes, many shipments follow well-established paths with fairly predictable transit times.

Once your vehicle is picked up, short-distance shipments, such as moves within Alabama or between Alabama and neighboring states, usually take one to three days. Medium-distance routes, including shipments between Alabama and the Midwest or deeper into the Southeast, typically take three to five days. Longer routes, such as shipments between Alabama and the West Coast or Northeast, generally take five to seven days.

It’s important to understand that pickup time and transit time are not the same. Depending on route availability and scheduling flexibility, carrier assignment usually happens one to five days after booking. Major cities like Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile often have faster pickup times, while rural areas may require a longer pickup window.

Delivery timelines can also be affected by traffic, road construction, weather conditions, and seasonal demand. Delays may occur during peak travel periods, holidays, or severe weather. Providing flexible pickup and delivery dates helps keep the process smooth and minimizes potential delays.

Common vehicle pickup & drop-off locations in Alabama

Carriers in Alabama typically pick up and deliver vehicles at:

  • Residential neighborhoods with adequate street access

  • Dealerships and commercial parking lots

  • Auto auctions and vehicle storage facilities

  • Shopping centers or large public parking areas

Why meeting points are sometimes necessary

Narrow residential streets, apartment complexes, local parking rules, and limited truck access in certain areas may require meeting at a nearby open location. This is more common in busy city centers or residential neighborhoods with restricted access. When needed, your driver will coordinate with you to meet at the closest safe and legal location for loading or unloading your vehicle.

How much does car transport to and from Alabama cost?

Distance

Distance is a key factor influencing your car shipping cost to or from Alabama. Shorter distances usually cost less, while longer distances can sometimes be cheaper when they surpass a certain mileage. Carriers can transport up to 12 cars simultaneously and handle cross-country shipping.

Vehicle (Make and Model)

Your vehicle size is the main factor in determining your shipping cost. If you're shipping a truck like a Ford F-150, your shipping quote will be higher than for a regular sedan. The size and weight of the vehicle affect the shipping cost due to carrier trailer capacity and federal weight laws.

Transport option

Open transport is the most common and affordable option available. Most individuals and car dealerships use open car transport. When shipping a vehicle with an enclosed trailer, your shipping costs increase due to higher protection and premium service. If you're shipping a luxury or classic car, use our enclosed shipping services.
