Quotes well below the typical range are almost always bait-and-switch. You are quoted a low price to pay the deposit, and then the price is bumped at the last minute.
Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.
Your price holds for 28 days. Cancel free until 7 days before pickup.
Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.
One percent of every booking funds Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on transport and energy emissions.
Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
Really nice company, the whole process was fast and easy peasy.

Maryland wraps around the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore, Annapolis and the Washington suburbs sit on its western side, along the main interstates, and the Eastern Shore, from Easton down to Salisbury and Ocean City, is joined to them by the Bay Bridge.
The Bay Bridge can close to all traffic once winds pass 55 mph, and recent closures have lasted two to four hours.
Truck restrictions start lower. From 40 mph and again from 50, MDTA turns back trailers in steps, by type and by how heavily they’re loaded, but the hold at 55 is the one that stops every truck.
A truck headed across from the Baltimore side waits at the bridge until the wind drops. It isn’t tied to one season. Holds have come with winter storms in January and February, and with Tropical Storm Isaias one August. A few hours is the usual size of it, though a hold late in the day can still push the delivery to the next day.
If the move makes you a Maryland resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked October 2026 against Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, Maryland Department of the Environment. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

Open transport on Maryland's long routes costs $900 to $2,350. Chicago, about 700 miles from Baltimore, is the cheapest of them at $900 to $1,150, and California, 2,600 to 2,800 miles off, runs $1,500 to $2,350.
Maryland shipments usually arrive 2 to 8 days after pickup. A car to or from Chicago takes 2 to 4 days, Florida and Texas 3 to 5, and the California coast, the longest run, 5 to 8.
Maryland gives a new resident 60 days after moving in to title and register the car, and after that the credit for tax already paid in another state is lost. A used car from another state has to pass a Maryland safety inspection before it can be titled, so it needs to be here first. It can be driven to the station on its old registration, and the certificate is good for 90 days.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
