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.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

What it costs to keep a car on Wisconsin plates depends on where in the state it’s kept. A town, a city and a county can each add a yearly fee of their own to the state’s, and a car in Madison or Milwaukee pays two of them. For a car leaving, Florida takes more people than any state that isn’t next door, then Texas and Arizona.
Madison adds $40 a year and Dane County another $40, so a car kept in Madison pays $80 on top of the state’s registration fee. In Milwaukee the city and county fees come to $71.
Wisconsin calls these wheel taxes. About 70 places charge one, 14 of them whole counties and the rest cities and villages, at anywhere from $10 to $50 a year, and the DMV collects it with the state fee when the car is first registered here and at every renewal. The address where the car is customarily kept decides it, so a car kept outside all of them pays the state fee alone.
If the move makes you a Wisconsin resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked October 2026 against Wisconsin DOT. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Open transport to or from Wisconsin runs $950 to $2,150. Texas and Florida come to $1,100 to $1,400 between them, and Arizona to $1,450 to $1,850. California spans $1,300 to $2,150.
A Wisconsin shipment usually spends 3 to 7 days between pickup and delivery. North Carolina is a 3 to 4 day run and Texas or Florida 3 to 5, while Arizona takes 4 to 6 and California 4 to 7.
Wisconsin expects a car to be titled and registered as soon as its owner becomes a resident, and out-of-state plates get no grace period. The application can be started online and the documents mailed in. In the seven southeast counties that test emissions, Milwaukee and Waukesha among them, the car then needs its test within 45 days.
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.
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.
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.
If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.
