The time from pickup to delivery is only one factor for how long it takes to ship a car. You also have to allow time to get your vehicle picked up.
Its best to schedule your auto transport at least 1-2 weeks before you want your car picked up. This gives the car shipping company time to find the right truck for shipping your car. If you have less than a week, car shipping companies can typically still get your vehicle shipped. Just be aware that you might have to pay a small premium to get your vehicle shipped quickly.
Once you have scheduled a pickup, please be aware that the pickup date is typically a 3-day window. Read our post on the 3-Day Pickup Window to understand why you should not expect to get an exact pickup date.
Once your car is on the car carrier, the time until delivery is determined by the shipping distance plus the other stops your auto transporter has to make. Shipping a vehicle across the US normally takes 1-2 weeks. If you are shipping your vehicle a shorter distance (e.g. New Jersey to Florida), you can expect a shorter shipping time. To get an accurate estimate, contact a car shipping company .
