About How to Ship a Car
# Get Quotes
The first step in shipping your car is to obtain quotes from multiple brokers and find the best deal for you. Just make sure to give accurate information for an estimate that won’t leave you with surprises.
# Confirm the cost and pickup and drop-off times
Time is money, and we don’t want you wasting either. With affordable car shipping, you trust and confirm the cost and pickup/drop-off times and can plan accordingly.
# Vehicle Preparation
A little prep goes a long way. Clear out all personal items and leave just a quarter tank of gas. Then, let the driver do the rest – either bring your car to the pickup location or wait for pickup at your doorstep. Inspect your car for damages with the driver, sign off on any issues, and you’re good to go!

FAQ
What types of cars do you ship?
Our experienced team can assist you with shipping any type of vehicle that you have. From the smallest of the compact cars to the largest SUVs and trucks, we can safely deliver your vehicle to you. We understand that each auto transport is different and can tailor your booking to fit your needs. This could be the most economical auto transport for your old beater. Or it could be a white-glove service for a prized collector or sports car.
Can I put my personal belongings in the car?
Yes, you can place up to 100 pounds in a single box or piece of luggage that’s placed in the trunk of the vehicle. This ensures your belongings are kept safe and secure during transit.
Is my car transport insured?
Yes! Each shipment booked automatically includes insurance coverage. This coverage automatically applies the moment your vehicle is in the possession of the driver and continues throughout the entire shipment until your car is safely delivered to its destination.
Who will contact me for vehicle pickup?
Your shipment advisor will notify you of your expected pick up date and time. While you make this selection during your booking, there may be slight adjustments as the pickup time draws near, and there’s a better assessment of the driver’s location and status.
How can I track my car shipment?
You can track the progress of your car transport by reaching out to your shipment advisor. They can give you the latest information on where your vehicle is and the expected delivery date. If your advisor isn’t available, we have a dedicated team that’s ready to assist.
How do I pay for my car relocation?
The best and fastest way to pay for your car relocation is with a credit card. You’ll never be asked to pay upfront for your shipment. When the time comes, we can quickly and securely process the payment to ensure there are no delays in your shipment. This also gives you a verifiable record should you need to submit for reimbursement to your company.
How much time will it take to deliver my car?
The transit time for your auto transport will depend on several factors. Each shipment is unique, so the distance between your pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year, and the demand for shipping services all factor into the time it will take to deliver your car. Your shipment advisor will keep you informed of your vehicle’s progress and the expected delivery date.
How will my car be transported?
There are two methods for transporting vehicles, either on an open or enclosed truck. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Your shipment advisor can help you determine which method will work best for your car, budget, and shipment timeline.
