Route overview

Columbia to New York City is about 705 miles, heading northeast on I-77 and I-95. The published transit of 2 to 4 days after pickup works out to roughly 180 to 350 miles a day, slower than driving it yourself because the truck stops for other vehicles and federal rules cap the driver at 11 hours behind the wheel per shift.

The published range for a standard sedan on an open carrier is $700 to $950, about 99 cents to $1.35 a mile.

If your street in Columbia or New York City is too narrow, too steep or too tree-lined for a full-size carrier, the driver will arrange to meet at a nearby open lot instead.

Open transport suits most vehicles on a route this long. Enclosed trailers cost more and earn it for classic, luxury and low-clearance cars, which would otherwise ride 2 to 4 days exposed to weather and road grit.

Every partner is licensed and insured. Before the Columbia pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to check on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate; the Bill of Lading guide explains the inspection you sign at both ends, and the disclaimer sets out who is responsible for what.
