Shipping a car in Mobile

Mobile sits in Mobile County, Alabama and has about 201,367 residents, the 2nd largest of the Alabama cities we cover. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Mobile works as a standalone pickup within reach of Daphne (15 mi), Fairhope (15 mi) and Selma (140 mi). A Alabama run through this area may take in Daphne on the same trip before heading out on I-65, I-20, and I-85. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Mobile to the larger markets around it: New Orleans, LA at about 140 road miles, Baton Rouge, LA at about 215 road miles and Birmingham, AL at about 255 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 290 miles, quote $400 to $650 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Mobile pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
