What Customers Say About Our Calculator
Thomas Mckinnie
📍 from Clinton, MD to Katy, TX
From beginning to end, I was able to communicate via phone, txt or email to someone regarding my car. The staff and transporter gave me updates on my vehicle from pickup to deliver. I definitely recommend using this company for all your Auto transport needs.
Teresa Beery

My review- Corey booked my transport and Yuri brought it to me. Since they have a multiple-car hauler, 2200 miles in 5 days from Georgia all the way across the country to Idaho was remarkable. Their pricing was competitive, not the most expensive but also nowhere near the least, and they were transparent, unlike those bait-and-switch companies. What truly impressed me was that they never asked for additional money of any kind. Both Corey and Yuri maintained open communication with me every day, keeping me informed and at ease. I must admit, I probably harassed them, but they never complained. Yuri even smiled and said he felt like he knew me, and I was so grateful, I hugged him tightly. Initially, I had called Navi, who had the best online ratings, but the person I spoke with was dismissive and uninterested, acting as if I was interrupting his dinner (and this was the SECOND time i called!) After putting me on hold for 5 minutes, he returned with a bored tone, saying, "What is it you want again?" I was taken aback and told him I wanted a different company before hanging up. As someone approaching 60, my car holds sentimental value, it was my 15th anniversary present, it carries memories of my family, including prom nights, bringing home grandbabies, and even a proposal. It's more than just a possession; it's a treasure trove of memories. I was apprehensive about transporting it with multiple vehicles, but Yuri went above and beyond, moving the vehicles off the mobile parking lot twice to ensure my Solstice didn't get a scratch. Thank you, Corey, for being persistent and calling me back, and thank you, Yuri, for treating my Black Betty with such care. I'm forever grateful to both of you, Teresa.

Excellent Car Moving Service! I had a great experience with this car moving company. From start to finish, everything was smooth and professional. The team kept me updated throughout the process, arrived on time, and handled my vehicle with great care. My car arrived in perfect condition and earlier than expected. The price was fair, and the customer service was top-notch. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free auto transport service!
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Shipping Costs
Get answers to the most common questions about our pricing calculator
How accurate is your car shipping cost calculator?
Our calculator provides highly accurate estimates by analyzing real-time market data, current fuel prices, and historical shipping costs. Most quotes are within 90-95% of the final price, with the calculator showing progressive accuracy as you complete more details.
Why don't I need to pay upfront for a quote?
At Safe Ship, we believe in earning your trust through service, not upfront payments. You only pay when we successfully match you with a qualified carrier and dispatch your shipment. This ensures you're only charged when real value is delivered.
How long does it take to get a shipping quote?
Our calculator provides instant estimates in seconds. As you enter your pickup and delivery locations, you'll see preliminary pricing. Complete vehicle details for the most accurate quote, and you can book immediately if satisfied.
What's included in the calculator's price estimate?
Our quotes include carrier transportation fees, basic insurance coverage, and our coordination services. We clearly display what's included with no hidden fees. Enhanced insurance options are available for high-value vehicles.
Can I get multiple quotes for comparison?
Yes! Our calculator allows you to adjust variables like transport type (open vs. enclosed), pickup dates, and vehicle conditions to compare pricing options. This helps you find the best balance of cost and service for your needs.
How far in advance should I use the calculator and book?
We recommend getting quotes and booking 1-2 weeks in advance for best availability and pricing. However, our calculator works for immediate needs too, and we can often accommodate rush shipments with expedited service options.
