Pick the right Auto Transport variant for your Las Cruces shipment

Three trailer-type variants, three different price points and use cases. Each ships through the same Whipshipper dispatch but lands on a different carrier pool. Deep-linked anchors so we can route quote intake straight to the right one.

Variant

Open Auto Transport

The workhorse. ~95% of all jobs ship this way.

From Las Cruces, typical range
Short
$590
Mid
$1020
Long
$1345
$0.84 / mile blended
Best for

Daily-drivers, fleet vehicles, used inventory, snowbird seasonal moves.

  • 7 to 10 car multi-deck hauler
  • Cheapest per-mile rate
  • Pickup 1 to 3 days from booking
  • FMCSA-licensed, $1M cargo minimum
  • Vehicle rides exposed, normal road conditions

Open transport is the default for almost every Auto Transport job out of a US metro. A multi-deck hauler picks up your vehicle and shares the rig with several other cars heading roughly the same direction. The rate per mile is the lowest of any transport option because the carrier amortizes the run across the full load. Your vehicle rides exposed, which is fine for daily-driver condition vehicles and is how dealers move 95 percent of their trade-network inventory.

Variant

Enclosed Auto Transport

Climate-stable, dust-free, no road debris. The premium tier.

From Las Cruces, typical range
Short
$915
Mid
$1615
Long
$2155
$1.38 / mile blended
Best for

Exotics, classics, Concours-grade, fresh restorations, anything over $80k value.

  • Fully covered trailer, climate stable
  • $1M to $3M cargo coverage standard
  • Liftgate loading on low-clearance vehicles
  • Soft tie-downs only, no chains on the body
  • Condition reports at pickup and delivery

Enclosed transport puts your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer. No road debris, no weather, no UV exposure. We default to enclosed for any vehicle worth more than $80,000, anything pre-1990, freshly restored Concours pieces, exotic builds, and customer requests where peace-of-mind is worth the premium. Enclosed adds roughly 40 to 60 percent to the open-transport rate. Most carriers in our enclosed pool run two-car or single-car liftgate rigs.

Variant

Dealer Auto Transport

Trade-network, auction-out, customer-delivery loads.

From Las Cruces, typical range
Short
$535
Mid
$945
Long
$1235
$0.78 / mile blended
Best for

Dealerships, auction houses, fleet companies, lease-end consolidators.

  • Bonded carriers with current dealer COI
  • 4 to 6 vehicle loads typical
  • Same-day or next-day pickup on most lanes
  • Volume discounts on recurring runs
  • Direct dispatch, no broker games

Dealer Auto Transport is open transport optimized for the wholesale and retail dealer trade. Carriers in this pool are bonded, carry current dealer COIs on file, and know the auction-yard load-in protocols at Manheim, ADESA, Copart, and IAA. Most dealer loads run 4 to 6 vehicles per rig with same-day or next-day pickup. We offer volume pricing for dealers running 10+ vehicles a month on recurring lanes, ask for the dealer-rate sheet.
