Common Questions
Is auto transport affordable?
Its time to move your vehicle to or from Illinois state and you have no idea where to turn to or who to call.
Lets be honest.
You want a top quality car shipper without spending too much money.
The cheaper the auto carrier, the better for your pockets as the customer.
If you need Auto Transport to or from Illinois, then picking the right company for the best price should be your Top Priority.
Whats the cost to ship a car?
Car shipping quotes and estimates are determined by vehicle spec (size/weight), mileage, route conditions, carrier type (open/enclosed) and seasonal demand.
Different makes and models affect Illinois car transport quotes also.
If it’s a Hummer with special features vs. a Smart Car there is certainly a huge weight difference that is factored into the price.
If you’re an exotic car dealer, you will probably prefer to send a brand new Bugatti in an enclosed 2-6 car trailer instead of an open carrier with 9 other cars.
Enclosed auto transport to or from Illinois typically costs 40-60% more than standard open auto transport services which is the most common selected due to pricing.
How long does it take?
Shipping a car to or from Illinois takes 1-10 calendar days from the date a car is picked up to when it’s dropped off.
This of course is determined by the route and mileage to be driven.
A driver usually covers about 500 miles per day.
The first available pickup date for shipping cars from state to state is typically 2-7 business days after an order is placed.
Keep in mind, delivery times may vary due to the amount of individual pickups and drop offs scheduled for the driver.
The exact time for delivery to or from Illinois should be communicated between you and your auto transport coordinator.
Is auto transport safe?
When you ship a car to another to and from Illinois state, you count on a safe shipping process.
That’s what you get on open car carriers, which do the vast majority of car transportation services to or from Illinois.
We send thousands of cars that way – stacked on trailers, often 7-10 at a time, which are safely delivered to their owners as swiftly as possible.
These cars are all fully insured under the carrier carrier insurance policy enforced by FMCSA and DOT.
Your auto shipper from to Illinois is required to provide fully insured auto transport services.
Are damages covered?
Every insurance policy has limitation on what they will and won’t cover.
Since there are so many different trucking companies the quality of those policies can vary accordingly.
Most common exclusions are rock chips, road hazards, glass damage and weather related damages.
The driver should conduct a walk around inspections on both pickup and delivery to record any existing or added damages.
Make sure to go over any auto transport insurance policy questions prior to placing your reservation for services to or from Illinois.
Shipping your vehicle enclosed to or from Illinois, while more expensive does provide more comprehensive coverage with different limitations.

6 Tips: Illinois Car Shipping
Reserve In Advance
The more time you allow your auto transport coordinator, the better the possibility you will have in securing your spot on an available carrier within the time and dates you require to or from Illinois.
This is also the best way to get the best rate.
Booking with plenty of lead time opens up the amount of available carriers ready to pickup and deliver your vehicle for Illinois shipments.
Try to give your auto transportation venture at least a week of prep time as all loads are basically based on availability.
Some areas may require a longer window for pickup depending on accessibility.
Do Your Research
Always make sure to not simply trust the first driver who comes along in Illinois to pickup your vehicle.
Make sure to do the responsible thing and cross reference the carriers company name through Google.
You can follow their name by the word “Reviews”.
This tells Google to send you review sites with that company name attached.
This can help you better make a final decision when allowing a car shipper to pickup and deliver your car to or from Illinois state.
Saving yourself a headache by avoiding a crooked sales pitch is definitely well worth the time spent.
Confirm Insurance
All Illinois Auto Transport carriers operating within the United States are required to have full coverage cargo insurance which is enforced by the FMCSA
(Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
Making sure that your carrier has the proper documentation should be top priority when trusting a car shipper with your vehicle for transport.
In most cases the carrier can send you the insurance documents by email.
Some Illinois Auto Shipping companies may try to charge you extra for the required cargo insurance.
Most will include all Insurance costs in their final quotes since it is required by law anyways.
Wash Vehicle
Allowing the driver to do a vehicle inspection on a clean automobile will allow everybody involved in this process to know the true condition of the car at pick up when the inspection is taking place.
The driver will do a full inspection on the auto being picked up and we'll leave the person releasing the vehicle with a carbon copy vehicle inspection sheet.
This form is also referred to as the Bill of Lading.
The same will be done on delivery.
Please note, the car will most likely be dirty on delivery from the elements of the air during transport which will affect your vehicle in the slightest.
If there is any added damage which can be proven through the pickup and delivery invoices, then your Illinois Auto Transport Logistics coordinator should be able to walk you through the claims process.
Remove Personal Items
In all cases when shipping your vehicle, the auto transporter should provide full protection on your automobile in the event that there is damage during shipping to or from Illinois.
Personal items that are not part of the vehicle are not covered under the cargo insurance policy.
This is mainly due to lack of proper inventory.
Drivers do not wish to assume liability for personal items as no insurance policies available to Illinois Auto Shippers will cover personal items in a customer's car.
Some drivers will allow items in the vehicle as long as they are concealed and secured.
This means completely out of sight.
No driver should find the need to search your vehicle.
Therefore, they do not want to know what's in your vehicle. Keep that in mind!
Communication Is Key
We encourage you to connect with your carrier direct when you are provided the drivers direct information for contact.
Our drivers are required to contact both pickup and delivery parties to coordinate times 24-48 prior to arrival at both ends.
When a line of communication is opened, the success rate of your auto shipment to or from Illinois raises to 98%.
Timing and precision are the top priority when efficiently transporting automobiles from state to state.
We want to make sure Everything goes right to and from Illinois.
This allows you to travel comfortably in your own surroundings while being away in Illinois.
Even if you plan on moving to the beautiful state, always keep in mind that Viceroy Auto Trans can get your vehicle delivered to or from Illinois.
Different Ways To Ship Your Car
Your Main Options When Transporting Your Car to and from Illinois
Taking in the fresh air provided by the beautiful landscapes of Illinois and all of the surrounding lovely American cities & towns that make up this gorgeous state are all better experienced when getting around in your own vehicle avoiding the cost of a rental or loaner car.
There are two main types of auto transport services to or from Illinois that pickup and deliver vehicles all over the country.
Hiring one of these Illinois Car Carriers will make sure you have your car along your side where it should be.
OPEN AUTO TRANSPORT
Hauling your vehicle on an open-air auto carrier to or from Illinois state is the most popular way of shipping automobiles in the auto transportation industry.
All Auto Shippers active on the road required by law to have full insurance cargo coverage through every single one of their loads.
The price is fairly competitive as well.
Always ask your car shipping logistics agent for all insurance documents which should be included in your final quote or estimate.
On an open-air car hauler, expect your auto to be loaded on with about 4 to 9 other cars, trucks, vans or S.U.V.s.
Most open-air car haulers are built to transport up to nine vehicles in some cases.
Sometimes, even up to 10 units depending on weight and size of each automobile.
Open Auto Transport is by far the most economic and safest way to reliably ship your car, van, truck or S.U.V.
ENCLOSED AUTO TRANSPORT
Enclosed auto carrier trailers will usually cost a bit more than an open auto carrier hauler but in the end is well worth it depending on your car shipping needs.
This is definitely true if you're transporting an exotic, classic, luxury or antique vehicle which cannot come under the risk of elements during the automotive shipment process when in transit towards Illinois state or coming from Illinois state.
When looking into this option, make sure to ask for a soft sided enclosed trailer as they will be at a reduced rate compared to a hard-sided enclosed auto transportation trailer.
Again, this option should usually be reserved for the more higher-end vehicles as the cost is a bit more than the standard rates issued by the average open car shipper.
As always, remember to ask your auto shipping logistics agent for all information regarding your assigned carrier including all Insurance documents to verify that your vehicle will be insured during transport.
Viceroy Auto Trans runs a fleet of Both Hard Side and Soft-Sided direct driver Enclosed Auto Carrier Trailers which operate mainly going to Illinois or coming from Illinois.

Illinois History & Facts
Illinois became the 21st state in 1818, and it’s known as the Prairie State or the Land of Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States and leader who preserved the Union from dissolution in the Civil War, began his political career in the state.
During that war, more than 250,000 Illinois men – including General Ulysses S. Grant, who became the 18th president – served in the Union Army.
Chicago, situated on the shore of Lake Michigan, became a booming city after the Civil War, attracting immigrants and freed blacks from the South during the second half of the 19th century.
Rail yards, slaughterhouses and mills all drew workers as the city saw extraordinary growth and development, spurred in part by the devastating Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
When prohibition arrived in 1920, renowned Chicago gangsters such as Bugs Moran wreaked havoc and bootlegged liquor from Canada to sell across the country.
While organized crime in the U.S. wasn’t formed as a result of prohibition, the alcohol ban helped solidify its influence, with Chicago as one of its bases.
The Chicago area is home to companies such as Allstate, Boeing, Kraft Heinz and Walgreens.
In addition to business, Illinois’ largest industries are manufacturing, education, agriculture, energy and biotechnology.
Illinois is also a leader in clean energy technology, with huge wind farms and considerable ethanol fuel production in the state.
