Yes! auto transport varies place to place and coast to coast. Shipping a car depends upon place and distance.

I paid $1,100 to go from CA to VA on an open transport. Once the car was loaded, top of transport and right behind the cab, it remained there until it was unloaded in VA. Same truck and driver the entire trip. GPS tracking and updates from the driver as to his progress. Took about 5 days to be delivered coast to coast.

Now I shipped open transport because the car was shipped to VA to be restored so it mattered not that it would arrive a little dirty. However when it returns home it will come closed transport as it will be in like new condition.

 

Miami to Oklahoma $1600. Car is currently in transit via Passport.

 

I used Intercity twice coast to coast. Cost was about 2K. They did a fine job.
