Long distance towing, which is also commonly referred to as car shipping or auto transport, is defined by the shipping of a vehicle over a distance exceeding 100 miles. This is not the same as hiring a tow company for emergencies which can only ship for a small distance but arrive quickly for an emergency.

The price of long-distance towing varies based on distance, vehicle type, and service type (open or enclosed). On average, you can expect to pay between $650 for short distances with most vehicles and $2,000 or more for large vehicles going long distances across the country.
Keep in mind, certain extras can add to the total:
Planning ahead with these costs in mind will help you budget more accurately.
Yes. Any intrastate or state to state long distance towing will require insurance as per state and federal laws. All carriers are licensed and insured to ship vehicles regardless of it being long distance towing, sate to state shipping, or any other kind of transport.
One of the safest and most reliable ways to move a vehicle over long distances is by using a flatbed trailer. Unlike a tow dolly that only lifts two wheels off the ground, a flatbed raises the entire vehicle onto a four-wheel platform. This method keeps both the front and rear tires secure, reduces wear and tear, and provides added stability throughout the journey. Because the car is fully elevated, it’s also better protected from road hazards and uneven terrain, making it the preferred option for long-haul towing.
A professional long distance tow service like NX will load your vehicle onto either an open or enclosed carrier and deliver it to your destination. This eliminates the stress of arranging a tow setup, saves you from putting miles on your car, and is often the most practical solution for long-distance vehicle transport.
$0.60–$1.50 per mile for open, and up to $2.50 per mile for enclosed.
That depends. Doing it yourself with a tow dolly assuming time on the road is not a cost for you is good for shorter distances. However, for longer cross-country long distance towing, hiring a transporter may be more-or-less the same cost as DIY as there are other expenses like hotels and food. Again, time must not be a cost for you.
Small items (under 100 lbs, below window line) are generally allowed, but check with your carrier.
