OPEN car shipping
Have you seen trucks on the highways hauling new cars on a trailer? That’s open transport. Auto dealers use this type of shipping to restock their inventories. The majority of Montway’s Philadelphia customers also choose open transport because it’s a safe and reliable way to move most vehicles. Since cars are not covered during transport, they will arrive with a little road dust, which is to be expected.
Learn more about open car shipping.
Pros
- More affordable than shipping in an enclosed trailer
- Higher availability, making it easier to book your preferred date
- More fuel efficient than enclosed transportation
Cons
- Vehicles are exposed to the elements during transit
- Trailers often cannot accommodate vehicles with low ground clearance
- Less security and protection from vandalism
ENCLOSED car shipping
Enclosed transportation is the ideal choice for classic, exotic, and luxury cars, as well as motorcycles and powersports. This method is also necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance, which may require a hydraulic lift gate or ramp for safe loading onto the truck. Enclosed transport ensures your valuable Philadelphia car shipment is shielded from the elements and potential road hazards and arrives safely.
Learn more about enclosed car shipping.
Pros
- Vehicles are more protected from the elements and vandalism
- Often equipped with ramps to load vehicles with lower ground clearance
- Accommodates multiple vehicle types, including motorcycles
Cons
- Less affordable than shipping a vehicle on an open trailer
- Lower availability can make scheduling pickup and dropoff more difficult
- Enclosed carriers move fewer cars at once, which may drive up the cost

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Philadelphia
- If you’re moving to Philadelphia from out of state, you’ll need to register your vehicle in Pennsylvania within 20 days of establishing residency.
- Along with state registration, be sure to obtain proof of Pennsylvania auto insurance. The minimum liability insurance amounts are $15,000 per person, $30,000 per accident for bodily injury, $5,000 per accident for property damage, and $5,000 per person for personal injury protection.
- Leaving Philadelphia for a new adventure? Remember to remove your E-ZPass before your vehicle is loaded onto a transport trailer. If you’ll be a new resident of the state, learn more about the PA Turnpike and toll equipment.
- Philadelphia can experience a variety of weather events, so be a safe driver. Remember, when shipping your car, severe storms, icy roads, and even glaring sun can impact travel times for your truck driver, so be patient.

Philadelphia car shipping FAQs
How much does it cost to ship a car from Philadelphia?
When shipping your vehicle from Philadelphia, several factors influence the cost. The type of vehicle, chosen shipping method, and distance all play significant roles in determining the price. For instance, in 2023 shipping a vehicle up to 500 miles from Philadelphia would cost about $1.85/mile. Medium distances (500-1,500 miles) average $0.91/mile, which means traveling 1,000 miles from Philadelphia to Columbia, Missouri, would cost about $910. For longer distances (1,500+) the rate drops to approximately $0.59 per mile.
How do I pay for my Philadelphia auto transport service?
You can choose to pay in full online, Montway accepts all major credit cards and PayPal. You can also pay in cash at the time of delivery. If you choose to pay in cash, there is a small partial payment of $249 or less (depending on the distance of your shipment) when you place your order to secure your car’s spot on a truck.
Can I ship personal items in my car?
With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.
Does someone need to be present for pick up and drop-off?
Yes, a person must be present at both pick up and delivery to sign inspection reports, hand the keys over to the driver and release and accept the vehicle. If you are unable to be there, you must find a person over the age of 18 that you trust to oversee the process.
What does the first available date mean on the online quote form?
The “First Available Date” is the earliest day your vehicle will be ready for pickup. However, this might not be the exact pickup date, as it depends on truck availability at that time. If Montway cannot arrange pickup on your first available date, it should be within our usual pickup window of 1 to 5 business days.
