When shipping a vehicle from Columbus, Ohio to Topeka, Kansas, you can expect a journey of approximately 600 miles, typically taking around 10 to 12 hours of transit time. This route primarily utilizes Interstates 70 and 35, ensuring a direct path that benefits from well-maintained highways. However, travelers should anticipate potential traffic delays near major metropolitan areas, especially when approaching Kansas City.

Customer Testimonials

  • “I contacted Freedom Auto Transport under short notice and they delivered. Got my vehicle picked up in Dallas, TX the same day, it took about 3 days to get delivered. Driver contacted me prior to arrival on both ends and was very friendly. Very easy to do business with. Thanks again.”

    Theresa Webb

  • “I wanted to share my experience dealing with Freedom Auto Transport. Could not have gone any smoother. Called up Tuesday morning, had my vehicle picked up and on a trailer the very next day! Wow! Everyone I spoke to at Freedom was extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with my experience and would 10000% recommend Freedom to anyone that needs auto transport service. Thanks again..”

    Darlene Robertson

  • “Freedom was great, Dan S. with Freedom was the only carrier who could deliver on the dates I needed. I contacted several transporters, the prices and dates changed every 5 minutes. Dan was very helpful every step of the way, and extremely reasonable! I will use these guys from this point forward, make one call and it’s a done deal! Thanks Dan!”

    Guy Hawkins

  • Freedom Auto Transport runs a solid operation. Dorian is the reason I chose this carrier even though I had all but agreed to work with a different hauler. He was fast to return my calls, texted frequently, and used all his contacts to arrange a quick turnaround on the 4Runner I shipped. He almost managed to get a same day pick-up but the dealership I was working with couldn’t complete the paperwork in time for an evening pick up. Easy paperwork/signatures. No heavy sales pitch. Just familiarity with how the industry works, good relationships to leverage, and the urgency to help. I think he really feels good knowing he’s helping to deliver something meaningful to others. Ive used different companies each time I’ve shipped a vehicle but the next time I need a car or truck shipped, I want to work with Dorian. Cheers!

    Josh Schwartz

  • I was very happy with the transport process of my vehicle. Martyn was very helpful in keeping me in the loop on the hole process. He answered all of my questions and concerns. Taylor the dispatcher manager was quick on sending me the documents to sign and was very professional. Alot of companies prices were much higher. Martyn, Taylor found me a price that was very affordable with Freedom auto transport. I really recommend Martyn and Taylor.

    Ram Delarosa

  • I had an outstanding experience with Freedom Auto Transport from start to finish. Their vehicle transport service delivered exactly what was promised with reliable, on-time car shipping and excellent communication throughout the entire auto transport process. A big thank you to Martyn Rothberg and Gerald Spade for going above and beyond. My car shipment from Las Vegas to Anchorage, Alaska actually arrived earlier than expected. Although this created unexpected storage fees with the ocean freight carrier, Martyn and Gerald stepped in immediately and handled everything. Thanks to their persistence, all storage fees were waived and I paid nothing out of pocket. That level of customer service and dedication truly sets this car transport company apart in the auto shipping industry. Most importantly, my vehicle arrived safe, secure, and damage-free. If you need dependable auto transport, car shipping services, or cross-country vehicle transport, Freedom Auto Transport is a company you can trust.

  • I had the absolute best experience with Freedom Auto Transport thanks to Marty! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I needed to ship my car from Florida all the way to Honolulu, and Marty made the entire process seamless and stress-free. His communication was excellent — always clear, responsive, and reassuring every step of the way. He truly went above and beyond to help me secure a spot. Funny enough, when we were on the phone, there wasn’t even an open spot on the ship at first. But while we were talking, one opened up, and Marty wasted no time getting me booked right away. Talk about timing! The whole process was painless, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking to ship your car, ask for Marty — l can’t say enough amazing things.

    Holly Forest

  • I shipped 2 cars with Freedom auto transport. Great auto company overall. Communication and interaction with Tony Kline were great. He was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process. Called him and got my car ship next day and cars were delivered in 2 days from Omaha to California. Will definitely use this company again in the future.
