McLean Car Shipping

Expect an open-carrier sedan to cost $550 to $850 to or from Boston, $800 to $1,150 to or from Atlanta or Jacksonville, $850 to $1,150 from Dallas and $1,350 to $1,800 from San Diego. The Dallas and San Diego bands are one way, from our own open-carrier orders into Virginia since 2023, and enclosed transport, the usual pick for a collector car in McLean, adds roughly a third to any of them, with the calculator pricing your exact car and dates.

Counted from loading, Boston and Atlanta are each 1-2 days on the truck, Jacksonville 2-3, Dallas 3-4 and San Diego 5-7. Open-carrier loading in McLean normally comes one to three days after your first available date, while an enclosed pickup can take longer because fewer enclosed trucks are on the road.

The driver decides with the drive in front of them. A straight, open approach takes the rig; a gate, a low canopy, or a curve does not, and the hand-off moves to the gate, the street, or a Tysons lot minutes away. Tell us about the drive at booking and we plan for it.

For anything low, rare, or new, yes. Enclosed keeps the car out of road grime and weather across a thousand miles, the liftgate loads a low car without scraping, and the carriers that run enclosed handle fewer cars with more care; our enclosed transport guide lays out the trade honestly so you can decide.

Yes. Once the car clears customs at Baltimore or Newark, we pick it up at the port lot with the release paperwork and bring it to McLean, usually 1-2 days on the truck, enclosed if you prefer. We do not handle the ocean leg or customs; your forwarder or the embassy’s shipping office does.
