California Auto Transport

Shipping vehicles to and from California on professional semi-truck carriers — open, enclosed and expedited, door to door.

Enterprise Auto Transport dispatches carriers throughout California every week. Our network covers the major metros — Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento — as well as the smaller towns and rural addresses in between where many brokers simply will not commit.

California lanes are quoted against live carrier availability rather than a generic per-mile table. That means the number you receive is the number a truck will actually accept, so your pickup date holds instead of quietly slipping once you have booked.

What to expect on a California transport

Transit time. Plan on roughly 500 miles per day of driving once your vehicle is loaded. Lanes between California and Florida, Texas or the Northeast are dense and move quickly; remote pickups may add a day for the driver to route in.

Seasonality. Snowbird traffic, summer relocations and winter weather all shift capacity and pricing. Booking two to four weeks ahead is the simplest way to control both.

Access. A full-size car carrier is about 75 feet long. Where residential streets, HOAs or low branches prevent access, the driver arranges a safe meeting point minutes away.

Included on every CA move

  • Door-to-door pickup and delivery
  • Professional semi-truck carriers only
  • $250,000 cargo coverage on open carriers
  • up to $2,000,000 cargo coverage on enclosed carriers
  • Owner Operated
  • Direct driver contact throughout transit

Not sure which type of carrier you need?

Don't worry. You don't have to know whether your vehicle belongs on an open carrier, an enclosed trailer, a winch-equipped truck or specialized equipment. Just tell us what you're shipping, its condition, where it's going and when you need it moved. We'll review the shipment and determine what type of transportation is appropriate.

Please note: Anything that rolls on its own wheels must be roadworthy before pickup. The customer is responsible for repairs — tires, bearings, brakes, lights — and for towing and repair costs if the unit becomes disabled in transit.

FAQ

California car shipping questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from California?
It depends on the paired location, vehicle size, equipment and season. Short regional lanes often run $400–$700, while long-haul California moves typically fall between $900 and $1,800 open and $1,500 to $3,000 enclosed. Call for a firm number on your exact route.
How long does transport to California take?
About 500 miles per day once loaded. Most West Coast lanes complete in two to five days; coast-to-coast moves run six to nine.
Do you deliver to rural addresses in California?
Yes. If a 75-foot carrier cannot safely reach the address, the driver meets you at a nearby lot — usually within a few minutes of your door.
Can you ship an inoperable vehicle in California?
Yes, on winch-equipped or lift-gate equipment. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and brakes so we dispatch the correct truck.
