About Shipping in Detroit
Detroit, Michigan is the heart of the American automotive industry and sits directly across the border from Windsor, Ontario. The Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel are among the busiest commercial border crossings in North America. The city's auto industry heritage makes it a natural hub for vehicle production and transport.
Cross-border shipping to Canada via the Ambassador Bridge requires customs clearance and can experience delays. I-75 connects Detroit to Toledo, Cincinnati, and the Southeast, while I-94 links to Chicago and Ann Arbor. Auto industry connections mean many carriers are based in or regularly serve the Detroit metro area.

RV Shipping FAQ — Detroit
Common questions about shipping rvs in the Detroit area.
How much does it cost to ship an RV?
RV shipping costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000+ depending on the RV type, size, distance, and transport method. Towable units on shorter routes start around $1,000-$2,000, while large Class A motorhomes on cross-country moves can cost $3,000-$5,000 or more. Drive-away service is often the most cost-effective option for drivable RVs.
How long does RV shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and transport method. Regional moves (under 500 miles) typically take 3-5 days, mid-range routes average 5-8 days, and cross-country transport usually takes 8-14 days. Drive-away service may be faster since it doesn't require carrier scheduling.
Is my RV insured during shipping?
Yes, every RV shipment includes comprehensive cargo insurance. For drive-away service, our drivers carry full liability coverage. We recommend documenting your RV's condition with interior and exterior photos before pickup. Supplemental coverage is available for high-value units.
What types of RVs can you ship?
We transport all types of RVs including Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, and truck campers. Our carrier network includes specialists for every RV category and size.
Should I choose drive-away or tow-away service?
Drive-away is ideal for drivable motorhomes and is often more affordable for long distances. Tow-away is required for travel trailers and fifth wheels, and is also a good option if you prefer your motorhome not to accumulate road miles. We'll recommend the best option based on your RV type and route.
