Delaware: Accessibility and Road Conditions
Delaware, with a population of over 1 million residents and a GDP of $89 billion, is a hub of economic activity and a key location for auto transport services. The state’s compact size—just 96 miles long and 35 miles wide—makes vehicle shipping faster and more efficient compared to larger states. Its central location along the East Coast positions it within a day’s drive of major metro areas like Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
Delaware’s highway system, including Interstate 95, Interstate 295, and U.S. Route 13, connects cities like Wilmington, Dover, and Rehoboth Beach. The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) maintains 90% of the state’s roads in good condition, ensuring smooth auto transport logistics. Real-time monitoring of DelDOT traffic alerts, construction projects, and weather conditions helps avoid delays and optimize routes for both open carrier shipping and enclosed transport.
With its mild climate and minimal seasonal disruptions, Delaware supports year-round car shipping. The Port of Wilmington, one of the nation’s largest vehicle handling ports, bolsters the state’s importance in international auto imports. For individuals or businesses seeking door-to-door vehicle delivery, Delaware’s infrastructure and strategic location make it an ideal choice.
Auto Transport Professionals combines Delaware’s logistical strengths with insured carriers to deliver safe, cost-effective solutions for customers statewide. Whether you need to move a single car or a fleet, Delaware’s robust infrastructure ensures a seamless shipping experience.
Testimonials
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.

FAQ
The time it takes to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors including total miles traveled. It can range from 1-2 days for short-haul transport and up to 7-10 days for cross-country transports. Once a truck has been assigned we will provide the actual pickup day and time along with an estimated delivery date. As we get closer to the day of delivery we will communicate the actual drop time window.
Yes, we can guarantee a specific pickup and/or delivery date. This guarantee will require additional fees to ensure the required dates are met. The majority of our transports are picked up and delivered in the window of time that our customers are willing to accept. However, keep in mind that picking up the vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be starting its journey that same day.
You may either pay a deposit before pickup by major credit card (3-4% processing fee depending on card type) and pay the remaining balance Cash On Delivery (COD) to the driver upon delivery or pay the full amount prior to delivery. Keep in mind if you are planning to pay COD, it must be done by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
