Car shipping in Illinois

The Land of Lincoln. The Prairie State. Home of “Da Bears.” “The Windy City.” Illinois is known by many names. With forests, farmland, cityscapes and rolling hills, this Midwestern state has a lot to offer—urban or rural lifestyle, a range of major-league sports teams, a diverse history and plenty of opportunities to be active both outside or indoors.

Illinois is also a hub, smack dab in the middle of the country, where a variety of corporate headquarters are located, including Boeing, McDonald’s, United Airlines and Walgreens. For this reason, many job candidates around the country find themselves relocating to the state. Alternatively, you may be heading there for a permanent change of scenery or extended vacation.

What to consider when shipping a car in Illinois

Whatever brings you to Illinois, you’ll want your car, truck or other personal vehicle with you for your commute, for social events or just to explore the state. You can choose to drive the vehicle yourself, but if you’re moving, you’ll likely have a long list of other things to sort out. If you’re traveling to Illinois for vacation and want your car with you, you may need to spend multiple days driving it there.

Auto transport is a convenient service for getting your vehicle to its destination safely. Depending on your vehicle make and year, transport distance, time of year and specific locations, the cost of your particular shipment can range from several hundreds to several thousands of dollars. Find the best value by working with a professional transport company.

Choose the best Illinois auto transport company

Your car is not only a big investment, it’s also a possession that can bring comfort and convenience when traveling or moving somewhere new. With that in mind, you don’t want to trust just anyone to transport your vehicle. You’ll want a company that will treat it (and you!) with respect and provide the best service possible to avoid the car incurring any damage during transit.

We help thousands of individuals across the country ship their vehicles anywhere in the U.S. As a leading auto transport company, GAS Motorsports knows our customers are looking for quality, friendly service and will provide that every time.

Testimonials

Our client loves us because of our quality work

If there were a 5+ rating I would use it! Roman and his team have been moving our cars between Washington and California every season for the past 5+ years. In the past we had used other services and had problems. We have never had an issue with GAS.

Best experience ever. I’ve shipped 8 cars from Seattle to Southern California and Gas is by far the most professional and the quickest I’ve ever used. Their pricing is excellent and their customer service is even better
You guys rock! Thank you so much for making this process seamless

Alan Zoltie
Customer

First time shipping a car out-of-state; obviously nervous and apprehensive. Roman thoroughly explained the process and keep me posted on actual pick up date & time.  Car arrived in Denver in the exact same condition it left Bellingham. Will certainly used GAS Motorsport again. DF

Dave Fleming
Customer

Very flexible, delivered my vehicle on a revised date and within minutes of ETA. Communications were excellent from start to finish and made the transition seem less. Would use their service again!

I moved 2 vehicles with them. Fast service at a fair price. I liked that my cars were stored inside their secure shop until pick up. Once on the truck they sent me photos and contact info for the driver. Highly recommended!
