Best Auto Transporters in Milwaukee, WI

Milwaukee draws new residents from all over the U.S. Students come from all 50 states to go to Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and professionals take jobs at major companies like Northwestern Mutual, Kohl’s and Aurora Health Care.

Whether you’re moving to Milwaukee or leaving the “great place on a Great Lake” for elsewhere, an auto transport company saves time and prevents vehicle wear and tear.

Start by searching for auto transporters that offer the services you want and have good reviews from customers. Not all car shipping companies ship to every U.S. location or give the option of open or enclosed transport.

Both auto transport carriers, which do the actual shipping of the car, and brokers, which coordinate shipping through a network of carriers, must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) if they operate across state lines. Check a company’s registration on the FMCSA website and request proof of insurance directly from the broker or carrier.

Estimated car transport rates to/from Milwaukee

Car shipping companies in Milwaukee consider several factors when quoting an auto transport price, including:

• Shipping distance: The longer the shipping route, the higher the cost.
• Type of shipping: Enclosed transport, which keeps a vehicle protected from weather and road debris, can cost up to twice as much as open transport.
• Scheduling flexibility: Standard auto transport includes a pickup date window of several days. If you want a guaranteed pickup date, a guaranteed delivery date or expedited shipping, expect to pay up to $500 more.
• Type, size and weight of vehicle: Larger, heavier vehicles are more expensive to ship.
• Location of pickup and delivery: Shipping companies charge more to ship to or from areas that aren’t close to urban centers. Door-to-door shipping, in which pickup and drop-off take place as close to a requested address as possible, is generally more expensive than terminal-to-terminal shipping, in which you drop off and pick up a car at a regional storage facility.
