Communities covered

Central and northern Minnesota communities are served on the same corridor, but honestly: there are fewer Florida-bound carriers passing through, so the pickup window is wider and lead time does more for you than anything else.

  • Brainerd
  • Bemidji
  • Alexandria

How pickup works here

Highway 371, Highway 2 and I-94 feed these markets down toward the metro and then south. In some weeks the better plan is a metro meeting point rather than waiting for a truck to come north.

Winter

Snow season starts earlier and ends later here than in the metro. Late October is the realistic window for a comfortable southbound pickup.

Auto transport pricing changes with carrier availability, season, vehicle size, fuel costs, pickup location and delivery location. The figures below are estimated market ranges for planning purposes, not guaranteed quotes. River Valley Auto Transport is a licensed broker: we negotiate with motor carriers and present the offers we actually receive, with our fee disclosed up front.

River Valley Auto Transport is a broker, not a motor carrier. We evaluate carriers and arrange your shipment; a separate, federally licensed trucking company physically moves the vehicle, carries the cargo insurance on it and issues the Bill of Lading. You should always know which carrier has your car.
