Shipping a car in Sturgis

Sturgis is a smaller St. Joseph County, Michigan community of roughly 11,030 residents. Cost here follows the corridor a vehicle ultimately joins rather than the size of the town, so quotes are often closer to a metro rate than people expect.

Sturgis works as a standalone pickup within reach of Coldwater (25 mi), Portage (30 mi) and Kalamazoo (35 mi). A Michigan run through this area may take in Coldwater on the same trip before heading out on I-75, I-94, and I-96. 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 Sturgis to the larger markets around it: Ann Arbor, MI at about 110 road miles, Chicago, IL at about 140 road miles and Detroit, MI at about 150 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 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 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 Sturgis 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.
