The Service

What is Expedited Car Shipping?

Expedited car shipping is a service that offers faster delivery times for shipping a vehicle than standard shipping methods. It is designed for customers who need their vehicles delivered quickly, such as in urgent situations or when time is of the essence. The expedited service typically involves a higher cost due to the prioritized delivery and additional resources required to ensure the vehicle arrives at its destination as quickly as possible.

Know Your Options

Expedited vs. Standard Car Shipping

Priority

Expedited Service

  • We target a 24 to 48-hour pickup window.
  • Carriers often have to adjust their pre-planned routes, pay premium tolls, or decline other vehicles to make room for your urgent shipment.
  • Because of this specialized attention, expedited shipping comes at a premium cost.
Budget-Friendly

Standard Shipping

  • + This is the budget-friendly, industry-standard option.
  • + You provide a 1 to 5 business day window for pickup.
  • + The carrier fits your vehicle into their optimized, existing route, allowing them to keep fuel and travel costs down, savings that are passed on to you.
Pricing

How Much Does Expedited Shipping Cost?

Several factors determine the final cost of your car shipping service, including the type of vehicle you are shipping, the total distance, and how quickly you need it picked up.

Because expedited shipping requires carriers to alter their schedules or run partially empty trailers to get to you faster, the cost per mile is higher than standard transport (often 20% to 40% more). To help you budget your upcoming move, we provide immediate, transparent pricing.

Transit Times

Timing & Delivery: What to Expect

"How fast will it get there?" is the most common question we get for expedited orders. While expedited service dramatically shortens the pickup window (usually 24-48 hours), the actual transit times (time on the road) remain governed by federal driving limits, traffic, and weather. Here are general transit estimates:

0–500 miles
1–2 Days
500–1,500 miles
3–5 Days
1,500–2,500 miles
5–7 Days
2,500+ miles
7–10 Days

(Note: These are transit times and do not include the 24-48 hours it takes for your priority order to be picked up by a transporter.)

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Transport Services

Common questions about expedited car shipping.

To pick up a vehicle within 24 to 48 hours, carriers often have to alter their optimized, pre-planned routes. They might have to drive out of their way, pass up other loads, or drive a partially empty trailer to get to you on time. You are paying for the priority dispatch and route diversion.

No. Commercial truck drivers are strictly regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and are legally limited to driving roughly 500 to 600 miles per day. Expedited shipping speeds up the time it takes to find and dispatch a truck, not the physical speed of the truck on the highway.

Yes. All RunBuggyOne carriers, regardless of how fast the order is, are required to carry comprehensive cargo insurance. Additionally, RunBuggyOne provides a secondary layer of "contingent cargo insurance" for extra peace of mind.

With RunBuggyOne, you don't pay a dime until we have successfully assigned a carrier to your rush order. We accept all major credit cards for a seamless, secure transaction.
