Alabama: Accessibility, Weather, and Road Conditions

Alabama’s extensive highway network, including Interstates 65, 85, and 20, plays a crucial role in facilitating efficient auto transport across the state. These major routes connect urban centers like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile, Gulf Shores as well as rural areas, ensuring accessibility throughout Alabama.

However, the state’s humid subtropical climate presents challenges for vehicle shipping. During hurricane season, the Gulf Coast can experience heavy rain, flooding, and strong winds, which may impact transport schedules. In the summer months, frequent thunderstorms can also create delays.

FAQs about car shipping in Alabama


The cost of shipping a car to or from Alabama depends on factors like distance, vehicle size and weight, and transport option (open or enclosed trailer), typically ranging between $500 and $1,500.

Yes, enclosed car transport is available for maximum protection when shipping vehicles to or from Alabama.

We transport sedans, SUVs, motorcycles, trucks, and classic cars to and from Alabama.

In Alabama, our auto transport services provide door-to-door delivery. Occasionally, alternative pickup or drop-off locations are coordinated to ensure safety of your car and others due to difficult to reach locations.

Car haulers must comply with FMCSA regulations, including using Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to track driving hours and movements. Drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving within a 14-hour workday, followed by a mandatory 10-hour rest period, typically covering 400-500 miles per day. DIY Tip: Use Google Maps to find the driving distance between your pickup and delivery locations. Divide the total miles by 450 to estimate how many days your car transport process may take. Now decide when you need the car to be delivered and subtract those days and you should get a general estimate for the pickup date you need. Please have this information ready as it helps our agents properly quote you and assist.

Vehicle Shipping Tips

Prior to Shipment
  • Document Your Vehicle’s Condition: Take clear, detailed photos of your vehicle from multiple angles to record its current state before transport.
  • Clear Personal Items: Remove all personal belongings from the vehicle to ensure compliance with shipping regulations and avoid potential issues during transport.
  • Check Your Vehicle’s Battery and Fluids: Make sure your car is in good working order, with the battery fully charged and fluids topped off.
  • Remove Toll Transponders: Prevent unnecessary charges during transport by removing toll tags or transponders.
Pickup and Delivery Inspections
  • Pickup Inspection: During pickup, the driver will perform a detailed inspection of your vehicle, documenting its condition on a Bill of Lading. Review and confirm this report before the car is loaded.
  • Delivery Inspection: Upon arrival, inspect your vehicle thoroughly to confirm it’s in the same condition as when it was picked up. Note any discrepancies, if any, and sign off on the paperwork once you’re satisfied.

Testimonials

Paul Koether

I transport my car every winter from Texas to Florida and back. This year is the first time it has been painless. Auto Transport did everything as promised. Mike Surgen and his driver did a great job. I plan to be a repeat customer. Not the cheapest but the best. Avoid "bargains" in auto transport.

Scott Findley

Could not have been happier with the delivery of my classic Mustang. Easy engagement and setup, great communication and delivery. Transport driver was courteous, no problems at all. Thanks for making it easy.

Keith & Debbie

Had a great experience with ATP. They were able to ship my bike in 2 days from Wisconsin to Virginia when other companies said it would take 20-28 days and they did it at a lower price. ATP was in constant communication with me via phone, email, and texting. I absolutely will use ATP for all future transportation needs. I highly recommend them.
