$725 to $1,900 for a running mid-size car on an open trailer, set by the destination. Houston is $725 to $875, Los Angeles $825 to $975, Chicago and Seattle $1,300 to $1,450, and the East Coast $1,600 to $1,900.

Houston, at $725 to $875 over about 885 miles. It beats Los Angeles even though Los Angeles is 95 miles closer, because the Texas lanes load in both directions.

Two to three days to Los Angeles, two to four to Houston, three to four to Chicago, four to five to Seattle and five to seven to the East Coast. Days are counted from the end of your pickup window.

Because two-way freight sets short-haul prices, not mileage. I-25 and I-40 cross a few miles from Rio Rancho, so trucks pass through in every direction and a driver on the Texas run is rarely empty either way. Our band for 500 to 1,500 miles is $900 to $1,600, and Houston and Los Angeles both land below it.

No. The two price together. They sit seventeen miles apart and the truck uses the same interchange whichever side of the river it starts on.

Yes, almost everywhere. The city was laid out on wide arterials, so a nine-car trailer reaches the curb in Enchanted Hills, Cabezon, Loma Colorado, Mariposa, Vista Hills and Rio Rancho Estates. A gated entrance with a height bar or a tight cul-de-sac means a short meet on a wider street nearby.

Generally yes, and it is the one real advantage of being on this side of the river. Old Town, Nob Hill, downtown Albuquerque and the older streets along Central have narrow lanes and low branches, so a carrier often meets the customer at a lot. Rio Rancho's streets were built wide.

No. The program covers Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, and Rio Rancho is in Sandoval County, across the line. A car registered at a Rio Rancho address is outside it.

Then the test applies to vehicles 1992 and newer, up to 35 years old and under 10,001 lbs. A pass lasts one or two years depending on the vehicle, and a test is also needed at change of ownership. Electric vehicles and diesels are exempt, and a new car is exempt for four years while the first owner still has it.

A VIN inspection, done by MVD or a certified VIN inspector, before the title can be issued. New Mexico asks for titling and registration once the state becomes your home, and MVD confirms the current deadline when you go in.

New Mexico is looked after by our national team on 888-709-9078, which is the number to book on and to call mid-trip. Our four staffed offices are in Lakewood WA, Los Angeles CA, Chicago IL and Kissimmee FL.

No. Door to door is how every shipment runs, so the truck comes to your Rio Rancho address and collects it there.

Yes. A car coming into Rio Rancho from any of these cities prices in the same range as one going out, over the same distance.

Rio Rancho itself is dry and clears fast. The passes to watch are Raton at 7,834 feet on I-25 north and Flagstaff at about 7,000 feet on I-40 west. South and east stay open almost any day, so a Texas or Phoenix move is a safe winter booking.

One spare day covers a northbound or westbound trip in December and January comfortably. Drivers hold short of a storm rather than climb into it, which is what you want under a loaded trailer.

Within six days of the first date you give us. Where a date cannot shift, expedited service tightens that to three.

About 80 percent on top of the open price. It suits a classic, a collector car, an exotic or fresh paint, and on the open desert stretches it keeps wind-carried grit off the finish.

It still ships. Loading it takes a winch, and that costs $200 or more on top of the running price. Rolling, steering and braking are all it needs, so mention it up front.

Yes. A full-size pickup or a three-row SUV takes more room on the trailer, so it prices above the mid-size figures. A lift kit, oversized tires or a roof rack should be mentioned when you ask.

Yes, on equipment set up for bikes. Each machine is priced on its own rather than off the car table, so send the make and model.

Yes, and two vehicles from the same Rio Rancho address to the same destination usually cost less per car than two separate bookings.

Someone has to be, at both ends. It can be a neighbor, a relative, a coworker or a friend, provided they are over eighteen and happy to check the car over with the driver and sign the report.

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. Nothing is added afterward on our side.

No. Outbound sales calling is something we simply do not do. What you hear about is your own move, and the driver on the two days that matter.

The assigned carrier's own Carrier Cargo Insurance. We confirm it is in force before your car goes on the load, and the certificate is emailed over whenever you want to see it.

Better to send it empty. Coverage applies to the vehicle rather than its contents, and weight matters when the trailer is full. Whatever truly has to ride along should be small and tucked away.

A quarter tank does it. That is enough to load, unload and drive away, and it keeps weight off the trailer.

There is a deposit at booking, then the remainder on delivery. Drivers accept cash, certified checks and cards.

Get it onto the delivery report before the driver pulls away, and take pictures. Those photos and the two reports are what the carrier's insurer looks at, and we work the claim alongside you.

Yes. We need the address, who to ask for, a number and when they are open. The driver handles the coordination from there.

Yes, and both have their own page. Kirtland Air Force Base is on the far side of Albuquerque, and the University of New Mexico and CNM bring cars in each fall.

A week or two ahead works for most of the calendar. The busy stretches are summer and the run-up to the fall semester, where more notice gives you more dates to pick from.

The ZIP here, the town it is going to, the year, make and model, whether it starts, and when it becomes available. The form above takes all of it, or ring 888-709-9078.
