Hi everyone! I’m shipping my car for the first time and trying to figure out how long it might take. The distance is about 1,200 miles. Does it usually take a few days or more than a week? What affects the delivery time the most?

Hey! The timeframe really depends on the route, weather, how busy the carrier is, and whether you go for standard or expedited service. In most cases, car shipping car shipping over 1,000 miles can take anywhere from 4 to 7 days. Compare The Carrier’s platform helped me understand timing better — it shows you real delivery estimates alongside quotes, so you can see which company offers what window. Some carriers do consolidated shipments and add stops along the way, which might stretch the time a bit. But if you plan ahead and choose a reliable shipper, delays are usually minimal. Their site really takes the guesswork out of it — no vague promises, just real timelines that match your delivery needs.
