What a great company had to move car from New Jersey to Florida was skeptical about some other quotes that I received. This was no nonsense delivered the car early and for the price that they told me.

Illinois to Arizona car shipping spans approximately 1,593–1,783 road miles across the representative routes shown on this page, with an estimated 4–7 days in transit after pickup. Your actual mileage and timing can vary depending on the specific pickup and delivery locations.
Common pickup areas include Chicago and its suburbs, Rockford, Peoria, Carbondale, and communities throughout Illinois.

Yes. Winter stays in Arizona can increase southwest-bound demand during fall and early winter, while spring returns move in the opposite direction. Current carrier availability and your requested dates determine the quote; no month guarantees a specific price.

Yes. Vehicle size and operating condition can affect trailer space, equipment needs, and the quote. The examples assume a standard sedan. Larger or heavier vehicles use different trailer space, and a vehicle that does not run may need different loading arrangements. Provide the make, model, modifications, and operating condition so the quote can be evaluated correctly.
Open car transport is a common choice for everyday vehicles and is generally the more economical option. Enclosed auto transport adds protection from ordinary road and weather exposure and may suit a classic, collectible, luxury, or specialty vehicle. The displayed planning prices are for open transport.
Yes. A flexible pickup window can give dispatch more options when coordinating carrier availability and accessible handoff locations.

Pick this company if you want your car transported correctly and for the price they quoted for! Awesome driver and company, got my car picked up on schedule and dropped off on schedule, will definitely be using again for all my car transport needs !
There was clear and concise communication throughout the shipping process. I appreciated working with Haulify and Darius because the quote given did not change and the driver assignment was quick, on time and easy. I recommend this company above others. (I have shipped my car several times to other states using different services.) My experience has never been this seamless so I will be using Haulify again!
Great communication. I felt secure as they transported my car, I truly feel confident in them. I recommend using this company, the quoted price doesn’t change and they work with you within the outlined timeframe.
We had to have three cars hauled with a little bit of a short notice on scheduling but Darius got us sorted out for a fair cost, without any problems, and our cars showed up just how they left and when they said they would. I never shipped a car before and the process with Haulify and the skilled assistance of Darius made it pretty easy. I would definitely use Haulify again.
I highly recommend them! They're excellent, and I'll never work with any other company again. They fully deserve what they charge.
Awesome service and transparent. I appreciate the prompt response
Excellent communication!
True Professionals here, they gave me a price and a timeline and stuck to it...It's very rare these days with these type of services...I'd use Haulify again in a second and recommend them to anyone considering moving their vehicles.
Fast service
I am a repeat customer of Haulify and cannot recommend them highly enough!!! Both times I used Haulify to transport my vehicles cross country, and both times I was so impressed. Not only was the process timely (and both times my vehicle arrived precisely on time), but the communication throughout the process was impeccable. I will never use another company to transport my vehicles ever again, and I look forward to giving Haulify my business in the future when the need arises. Hands down the best out there!
Haulify was unreal from start to finish. I shipped a vehicle from San Diego to Chicago, and the entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. Their communication was top-tier — constant updates, quick responses, and zero guesswork at any point. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they'd do it, which is rare in vehicle transport. Pickup and delivery were on time, the car arrived in perfect condition, and the execution overall was extremely professional. You can tell they actually care about doing things the right way, not just moving cars. If you're looking for a company that combines excellent communication, reliability, and flawless execution, Haulify is it.
I give haulify an A+. They were awesome to work with and everything went very smoothly. Very good communication. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat
Thank you so much Darius was s amazing with helping me process everything, replied to every call or text and. Kept me informed I have received my truck just yet but I will def be packing for part two. This guy is always at work never missed a call ❤️
Without question this is the best company I've ever worked with when it comes to relocating a vehicle. The customer service was immaculate making the drop off/pick up of my vehicle seamless. I have to travel a bit, from time to time, and utilizing my own vehicle makes the most sense so I will 100% be using their services again. Highly recommend.
Fast reliable service & on time. Thank you for the great service & customer service.
