Door-to-door auto transport means the carrier picks up and delivers your vehicle as close to the requested addresses as legally and safely possible. If a large truck cannot access a street because of local restrictions, low branches or limited space, the driver will arrange a nearby safe meeting point, such as a large parking lot. Confirm the exact pickup and delivery details with the assigned driver.

Open auto transport ships your vehicle on an open trailer, similar to those used to deliver vehicles to dealerships. It is the standard and generally most affordable option for most everyday vehicles. The vehicle is exposed to normal weather and road conditions during transit. Cargo coverage is provided by the assigned carrier and is subject to that carrier's policy limits, exclusions, deductibles and the Bill of Lading.

Enclosed auto transport carries your vehicle inside a covered trailer, providing additional protection from weather and road debris. It generally costs more than open transport and is commonly selected for exotic, classic, luxury, collectible or low-clearance vehicles. The best option depends on the vehicle's value, clearance and the level of protection you want.

Verify the broker's or carrier's current FMCSA authority, read recent reviews, and get the price, services and payment terms in writing. Be cautious with unusually low quotes, pressure to pay the full amount upfront, or requests for payment methods with little buyer protection. Confirm the assigned carrier and its insurance documentation before pickup, and keep copies of the agreement and Bill of Lading.

A collector vehicle is a car, truck or motorcycle valued for factors such as rarity, history, condition, design or brand significance. It can include classic, antique, exotic, limited-production and specialty vehicles. Owners often choose enclosed transport for additional protection, although the appropriate trailer depends on the vehicle and the owner's preference.

Vehicle shipping for dealers and resellers covers transport from auctions such as Copart, IAA and Manheim to a dealership, storage location or buyer. Colibri can coordinate auction pickup details such as lot numbers and gate passes. Pickup timing and storage deadlines should be confirmed when requesting a quote.

A load board is an industry marketplace where brokers post vehicles that need transport and qualified carriers can offer to move them. Central Dispatch is a major auto-transport load board in the United States. Colibri uses carrier and insurance information when assigning a carrier to a shipment.

There is no single flat rate. Quotes are provided in USD and depend on the exact pickup and delivery cities, distance, vehicle size and condition, open or enclosed trailer, season, fuel costs and carrier availability. Non-running, oversized, low-clearance or expedited shipments may cost more. Call +1 (302) 485-5725 for a current quote based on your vehicle and dates.

Cargo coverage is provided by the carrier assigned to your shipment, not by the broker's financial security. Colibri verifies the carrier's insurance documentation before dispatch. Actual coverage depends on the carrier's policy limits, exclusions and deductibles, as well as the pickup and delivery Bill of Lading. Inspect the vehicle at pickup and delivery, document its condition, and note any new damage on the Bill of Lading before signing.

Transit time depends on distance, route, weather, traffic, required stops and carrier schedule. Coast-to-coast transport often takes roughly 7–10 days after pickup, while shorter routes can take less time. Pickup and delivery dates are estimates unless specifically confirmed; delays can occur. Ask for a route-specific estimate when requesting your quote.

Yes. Open transport is the standard and generally most affordable option for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs more but provides additional protection from weather and road debris, which can suit exotic, classic, luxury, collectible or low-clearance vehicles. The right option depends on your vehicle, budget and preferred level of protection.

Yes. Non-running vehicles can be shipped when the assigned carrier has suitable winch equipment. This is common for auction vehicles from Copart and IAA. Equipment requirements may add approximately $100–$200, but the final amount depends on the vehicle, route and loading conditions. Describe whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes when requesting a quote.

You can request preferred pickup and delivery dates, but standard auto transport usually uses a pickup window and an estimated delivery date because carrier schedules can change. A specific date is not guaranteed unless it is explicitly confirmed in writing. Expedited service may improve timing, subject to the route and carrier availability.

Yes. Colibri can arrange transport for motorcycles and many vehicle types, including cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, classic vehicles, auction vehicles and some non-running vehicles. Equipment and pricing depend on the vehicle's dimensions, weight, clearance and operating condition, so provide accurate details when requesting a quote.

Expedited shipping gives a time-sensitive order priority during carrier search and dispatch. Pickup may sometimes be arranged within 24 hours, but timing is subject to the route, date, vehicle, weather and carrier availability. Call +1 (302) 485-5725 with your deadline so availability and pricing can be checked.
