When booking car transport, timing matters. Whether you’re relocating, buying a car online, or sending a vehicle to a family member, you want to know when it will arrive. The truth is, shipping times vary based on distance, routes, and conditions. At Corja Auto Hauling, we believe in setting clear expectations so customers always know what to expect.
Average Car Shipping Timelines
For most shipments, you can expect:
-
Short distances (under 500 miles): 1–2 days
-
Medium distances (500–1,500 miles): 3–5 days
-
Long distances (1,500+ miles): 5–10 days
These are estimates, but they reflect typical routes across the United States.
What Can Affect Delivery Time
Several factors influence how long it takes to transport a vehicle:
-
Distance and route: Cross-country moves naturally take longer than regional shipments.
-
Weather and road conditions: Snow, storms, or heavy traffic can cause delays.
-
Pickup and delivery locations: Remote or hard-to-access areas may require meeting at a nearby open spot.
-
Seasonal demand: Summer and winter snowbird seasons are busier, which can stretch timelines.
-
Flexibility: Customers who are flexible with pickup and delivery dates often get quicker service.
