The destination sets it, and Cincinnati starts from a strong position. I-75 runs straight through the city and is one of the busiest freight routes in the country, so most destinations already have trucks heading that way. The distance decides which of our published national bands you start from. For the exact number, put both zip codes and the vehicle into the calculator and it takes about a minute, or call and we will price it with you.

Yes, and it is worth telling us at booking. Greater Cincinnati spans three states, and Covington, Newport, Florence, Erlanger, Fort Thomas and Independence are all part of the same metro we serve every week. Even the airport, CVG, is in Hebron, Kentucky. Nothing about the service changes. What changes is which trucks reach you most easily, and naming your side of the river lets us pick the right one.

Because almost everything crosses on one bridge. The Brent Spence carries I-71 and I-75 together over the Ohio River between Covington and downtown Cincinnati, and it handles roughly 150,000 vehicles a day against an original design of 85,000. A driver coming north up I-75 reaches Northern Kentucky before he reaches Ohio, and one coming south reaches the Ohio side first. Tell us which side you are on and we match you to a truck already there.

Not in practice, and it is straightforward to plan around. The replacement project broke ground in May 2026 and runs to 2032, with a new companion bridge going up alongside. Local drivers have been working around it since it started and they know the alternatives, including I-275, which rings the whole metro. Give a pickup window rather than one fixed morning and name your side of the river, and it makes no practical difference to you.

One to two days to Lexington, Louisville, Columbus or Indianapolis, one to three to Cleveland, Detroit, Nashville or Chicago, two to four to Atlanta or New York, three to four to Tampa, and six to nine to the West Coast. Those days start when the car goes on the trailer. Your collection window sits ahead of them, and on a corridor this busy pickups tend to land early in it.

In most of the metro, right at the address. The suburbs on both sides of the river, the Northern Kentucky cities, and the areas out toward the I-275 loop all take a full-size carrier comfortably. The hillside neighborhoods are the exception worth naming: Mount Adams, parts of Clifton and the older Price Hill streets are steep and narrow, and Over-the-Rhine is tight downtown. In each of those we agree a flat, open meeting point a few minutes away at no extra cost.

Yes. Lawrenceburg, Aurora and Rising Sun sit inside the Cincinnati metro on the Indiana side, and they run on the same trucks as everywhere else here. I-275 crosses into Indiana, which is unusual for a beltway and useful for us, because a driver working the loop can reach all three states without going near downtown.

It is the spread of days inside which your car will be collected, counted forward from the date you name. Six days on standard, three on expedited. Widening it is the cheapest way to improve your price anywhere, and in a metro with a river and a bridge in the middle of it, a window gives the driver room to reach you on the run that suits him best.

It is one of the better ones. I-75 runs from Michigan down through Cincinnati and straight into Florida, and it carries steady seasonal traffic in both directions. That means trucks are already making the trip rather than arranging one for you. Book three to four weeks ahead for an October to December run south or a March to May run home, and the season looks after itself.

It runs all winter and asks very little. Cincinnati gets snow and the hillside streets are the first places to feel it, so a hillside pickup between December and March is worth mentioning at booking. Clear the loading spot before the driver arrives and brush the snow off the car so the condition report is accurate. A storm occasionally shifts a pickup by a day, which a six-day window absorbs without any fuss.

Open, for a daily driver, and it is what nearly every shipment here uses. Plan on about 80 percent more than open for enclosed. A $1,000 open move is roughly $1,800 enclosed. A hard-sided trailer takes two to six cars against ten on an open one, so fewer vehicles share the cost of the run. It earns that on a classic, an exotic, fresh paint, or a car too low to clear a ramp.

Yes to both. The carrier hauling your vehicle holds Carrier Cargo Insurance and it applies for every mile, with that carrier's certificate of insurance on file with us once a truck is assigned and a copy sent over whenever you ask. And the price we quote is the price you pay, as long as the vehicle, the route, the condition and the shipping details stay the same. If anything genuinely changes before the truck moves, you hear about it first.
