State-to-State Auto Transport helps customers move vehicles between states without driving long distances. OpenRoute Car Transport provides transportation options based on your vehicle, route, pickup location, and destination.
Moving a vehicle across state lines can involve hundreds or thousands of miles of driving. Instead of putting additional mileage on your vehicle and spending time on a long-distance road trip, state-to-state auto transport provides another way to move the vehicle.
OpenRoute Car Transport offers state-to-state vehicle transportation for customers who need to ship cars, SUVs, trucks, and other standard vehicles between states.
State-to-state auto transport is the process of moving a vehicle from one U.S. state to another using an auto transport carrier.
For example, a customer moving from Chicago to another state may arrange transportation so their vehicle can be delivered to their new location.
State-to-state shipping can be useful for personal relocations, vehicle purchases, work moves, seasonal transportation, and other situations.
Long-distance driving requires time, fuel, planning, and additional mileage.
Vehicle transportation may be useful when:
State-to-state transportation can be arranged using different transportation methods depending on the shipment.
Open transport uses an open carrier and is commonly used for standard vehicles.
Enclosed transport uses a covered carrier and may be considered for classic, luxury, collector, or specialty vehicles.
The appropriate option depends on the vehicle and customer’s requirements.
Customers may also consider door-to-door transportation when shipping between states.
Pickup and delivery are arranged near the requested locations when carrier access allows.
If a carrier cannot safely reach the exact address, a nearby accessible location may be used.
Before state-to-state transport, customers should:
If your vehicle has mechanical problems, inform the transportation provider before booking.
The price of interstate vehicle transportation depends on the specific shipment.
Factors can include:
For this reason, customers should request a transportation estimate based on their exact route and vehicle.
Chicago is an important transportation point for customers moving vehicles throughout the United States.
Whether you are leaving Illinois for a new state, purchasing a vehicle from outside Illinois, or relocating for work, state-to-state transportation can help reduce the need for a long-distance drive.
Start by determining your pickup and delivery locations.

Find answers to some common questions about car shipping and vehicle transportation.
Vehicle shipping costs vary depending on factors such as distance, vehicle size, vehicle condition, pickup and delivery locations, transportation type, route, carrier availability, and seasonal demand. A shipment-specific estimate is the best way to understand the expected cost.
Open transport moves vehicles on an open carrier and is commonly used for standard vehicles. Enclosed transport moves vehicles inside a covered trailer and may be preferred for classic, collector, luxury, or specialty vehicles.
Door-to-door auto transport can arrange pickup near your requested location when the carrier can safely access the area. Large carriers may not be able to enter narrow streets or restricted areas, so a nearby accessible location may sometimes be required.
Transportation time depends on the distance, route, traffic, weather, pickup and delivery locations, carrier schedule, and other circumstances. Customers should discuss their desired timeframe when arranging transportation.
Clean the vehicle, remove personal belongings, photograph the vehicle, document existing damage, check basic vehicle condition, and make sure the vehicle is accessible for pickup. If the vehicle is inoperable or requires special handling, provide that information before transportation is arranged.
