What Our Customers Say
How much does Delaware car shipping cost?
The cost to ship a car to or from Delaware is not one-size-fits-all. On average, you can expect rates from $400 for short, regional routes to $1,600+ for cross-country transport. At LUX Car Go, we believe in transparent pricing, and your final quote will depend on several key factors:
- Transport Distance & Route: The primary factor is mileage. A trip from Delaware to Philadelphia costs much less than Delaware to Los Angeles. Routes with high carrier traffic are also often more affordable.
- Vehicle Size & Weight: A larger vehicle like an F-150 takes up more space and weight on a carrier than a Honda Civic, which is reflected in the price.
- Transport Type (Open vs. Enclosed): Open transport is the standard, budget-friendly choice. Enclosed transport provides maximum protection for a premium, typically costing 40-60% more.
- Vehicle Condition: Is your car operable? Shipping an inoperable vehicle requires special equipment like a winch, which adds to the cost.
- Seasonality: Demand fluctuates. Shipping during peak seasons like summer or snowbird migration can impact pricing. Booking during off-seasons can sometimes lead to lower rates.

How long does it take to ship a car to or from Delaware?
While we always strive for the fastest possible delivery, transit time for your Delaware car shipment is based on distance. This does not include a 1-5 day window for carrier assignment and pickup coordination. Once your vehicle is on the road, you can use the following estimates:
- 100-500 miles: 1-2 days (e.g., Delaware to Washington D.C. or New York City)
- 500-1,000 miles: 2-4 days (e.g., Delaware to Atlanta or Orlando)
- 1,000-2,000 miles: 4-7 days (e.g., Delaware to Dallas or Denver)
- 2,000-3,000 miles: 7-10 days (e.g., Delaware to Los Angeles or Seattle)
Other factors like weather, traffic, and mandatory driver rest periods can also affect the final delivery date. Our real-time GPS tracking ensures you are always updated on your vehicle's progress and estimated arrival time in Delaware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my vehicle insured during transport to Delaware?
+Absolutely. Every shipment is covered by the carrier's cargo insurance. For high-value vehicles, our enclosed transports include up to $1,000,000 in comprehensive coverage. We verify every carrier's insurance to ensure it is valid and sufficient before they move your vehicle.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery in Delaware?
+Yes, you or a designated person (over 18) must be present. This individual will sign the Bill of Lading at pickup, which documents the vehicle's initial condition, and again at delivery to confirm it arrived safely. This ensures a transparent and accountable handover.
Can you ship a car that doesn't run?
+Yes, we can ship inoperable vehicles to or from Delaware. Please specify this when getting your quote, as it requires a carrier with a winch. There is an additional fee for non-running vehicles due to the specialized equipment and labor required for loading and unloading.
How far in advance should I book my Delaware car shipment?
+We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. This provides more flexibility in scheduling and can often result in better pricing. However, if you need expedited shipping, we can typically arrange for a pickup within 1-3 days.
Can I pack personal items in my car during Delaware transport?
+We strongly advise against it. Department of Transportation regulations prohibit the transport of personal household items in a vehicle being shipped. Furthermore, these items are not covered by the carrier's cargo insurance. Please remove all personal belongings before pickup.
What makes Delaware car shipping different from other states?
+Delaware's strategic location on the I-95 corridor makes it a popular route for carriers, often resulting in competitive pricing and faster pickup times. We also have extensive experience with military moves to Dover Air Force Base and understand the state's unique registration requirements.
Is door-to-door service available everywhere in Delaware?
+Our standard service is door-to-door. The carrier will get as close to your specified address as is legally and safely possible. Auto transport trucks are very large, so if your street is too narrow or has low-hanging trees, the driver may ask to meet you at a nearby large parking lot for safe loading and unloading.
What's the best time of year for Delaware car shipping rates?
+Winter months (December through February) typically offer the best rates due to lower demand. Spring and fall see increased prices due to snowbird migrations, while summer has peak pricing due to military PCS moves and college relocations. Book early during peak seasons for better rates.
