Common vehicle shipping questions
How far ahead should I book vehicle shipping?+
One to two weeks is helpful for many routes, while seasonal demand, remote locations and specific dates may require more flexibility.
Is open transport safe?+
Open carriers are the standard method used for most vehicles. Enclosed transport adds shielding and may suit high-value, restored or low-clearance vehicles.
Can you guarantee pickup and delivery dates?+
Transport dates depend on carrier routing, traffic, weather and access. We explain estimated windows and confirmed arrangements before dispatch.
What should I remove from the vehicle?+
Remove personal belongings, toll tags, loose accessories and valuable items. Keep fuel near one-quarter tank and provide working keys.
Does someone need to be present?+
An adult should be available at pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the bill of lading. You may designate another contact.
How is the price calculated?+
Distance, route demand, vehicle size and condition, transport type, season and timing all influence pricing.
Can you ship a non-running car?+
Often, yes. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and brakes so we can locate appropriate winch-capable equipment.
Where will the carrier meet me?+
Drivers aim for door-to-door convenience, but safety and local access come first. A nearby large parking area may be used when needed.
