"The service was fast and very easy to communicate with. The driver called multiple times to coordinate, provided an arrival window, and delivered the vehicle right on time—calling 30 minutes before arrival. Overall, a great, worry-free experience."

"They shipped a new Camaro ZL1 for me from UT to AR. They picked up Saturday morning and it was delivered perfectly Monday before noon!! Quick pickup and no issues!"

"Shipped my car from Washington to Missouri. Everything went smoothly and the communication with the drivers was great. Would definitely recommend."

"These guys are PRO. I had a brand new 80k RAM truck, a BMW 530e and a Honda Clarity delivered from California to Arkansas. Everything went perfectly. The driver was in direct communication at key points throughout the process."

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Missouri to Arkansas?

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.
