Ranges reflect recent shipments for a standard sedan; SUVs and trucks typically add $100–$200. Enclosed figures are estimated at about 1.5× the open auto transport rate.

"Had a smooth experience with them. Communication was clear from the beginning, pickup and delivery were both on time, and my car arrived in same condition. The driver was professional and easy to work with. Would use them again."

"Very smooth and timely pickup and delivery. Easy to communicate with dispatch and operators when needed. Will recommend and use RoadRunner Auto Transport again in the future!"

"Kyle was open and honest in answering my questions! Pickup was possible and happened within hours of booking, wow! The driver communicated very well and promptly, as well as went above and beyond by his own suggestion and willingness! Delivery was ahead of schedule and again effortless."

"Had a Corvette C8 brought from a dealership in mid Kentucky all the way up to NW Ohio with no issues. Took 2 days from when I contacted them until I was in the drivers seat. Enclosed trailer at just above half of what I was quoted by dealership. Totally worth it."

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Kentucky to Vermont?

Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.

Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.

Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

1

Schedule in advance

Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.

2

Prep and empty the vehicle

Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.

3

Inspect at pickup and delivery

Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.
