Corja & Blog

Shipping a car can feel overwhelming if you’ve never done it before. At Corja Auto Hauling, we talk with customers every day who ask the same important questions about the process. To make things easier, here are clear answers to the top questions about car shipping.

How much does car shipping cost?
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, time of year, and route demand. Open transport is the most affordable option, and working directly with a carrier like Corja ensures transparent rates with no hidden fees.

How long does car shipping take?
Delivery times vary by distance. Local moves can take a day or two, while cross-country shipping typically ranges from 5–10 days. Weather, traffic, and season can affect timing, but we always communicate updates.

Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every car shipped with Corja Auto Hauling is fully insured while on the trailer. Customers are covered for any damage caused during transit.

Can I put personal items in my car?
We strongly recommend against it. Packed vehicles can exceed DOT weight limits, make loading difficult, and personal items are not covered by insurance. Always ship your car empty.

What’s the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open carriers are the most common and cost-effective option, used by dealerships nationwide. Enclosed transport is more expensive and usually reserved for luxury, exotic, or classic vehicles.
