How to Ship a Car

Step One: Gather all relevant information about your auto and shipping requirements, such as the vehicle's year, make, and model, as well as the pick-up and delivery locations. Then fill out the form on this page or give us a call at 1-800-590-6492 to get up to 10 quotations from our auto transport partners. Choose the most cost-effective alternative and call or email the transportation business.

Step Two: Be sure to work closely with your vehicle transport expert to organize shipping, settle logistics, and make the initial payment whenever you're ready once you've chosen one of our quotes. Payments can be customized to match your individual needs.

Make sure to schedule your automobile pick-up and delivery ahead of time. Automobiles are frequently transported in multi-vehicle carriers, which may require additional days if the driver must drop off other vehicles along the road. Your shipping expert will be able to smooth out the details so that you can meet your delivery deadlines.

If your car has been altered in any manner, please let us know. Custom wheels, tires, rims, spoilers, and other additions, as well as raising or lowering the automobile, may increase the vehicle's length, width, height, and/or weight, impacting the cost of transportation. If you have an antique car or a special care vehicle, we can offer enclosed shipping and a number of other options for specialist vehicle transport, including door-to-door service.

Step Three: Prepare your auto by cleaning out all of your personal belongings before shipping, as you don't want to send it with any household or personal objects in it. Because the insurance that covers your vehicle while it is being transported does not cover personal goods inside the vehicle, this is for your safety. Furthermore, the additional weight could raise the cost of shipping the vehicle. The car should only have around a quarter tank of gas if one or two windows are cracked open.

The driver who picks up the car will inspect it and make a note of any dents, scratches, or dings. Ensure that the vehicle is clean enough for you and the driver to see any potential damage. When shipping, loading, or unloading, disconnect or remove any toll pass or anti-theft devices that could pose problems for the driver.

Step Four: You must be available for vehicle pickup and delivery. Plan on being on-site to hand over your automobile to the driver and accept it when it arrives. If this isn't possible, you can nominate someone else, but Ship Your Car Now will need both their and your details. The person taking delivery of the car must pass the delivery inspection and be able to pay any remaining debt (if there is an outstanding balance).

Our auto transport partners have safely and securely shipped thousands of cars, and we can help you with your shipping needs as well. To receive up to ten free no-obligation quotations, call us immediately or fill out the form on this page.

Auto Transport Dos and Dont's

DO: Before you decide to drive your car a long distance, get an auto shipping quote. Car transport is generally more economical than you might expect, and it's far more practical than organizing a long road trip.

DO: Prepare a plan ahead of time. Picking up your vehicle could take up to 5 days, and the distance between the pickup and destination sites will affect the amount of time it takes to deliver your auto. Consider a speedy shipment option if you need the car delivered urgently.

DO: Take into account how you'll pay the auto shipper. Paypal, credit cards, cash, debit cards, and other forms of payment are accepted, though paying in cash will save you a lot of money.

DO: Make sure to include as much info as possible about the state of your automobile. Let the transportation company know if there's a secret to starting it or if the parking brake isn't working so they can manage with your car's problems so they can handle with your car during pickup and drop off. Because of the way inoperable vehicles must be loaded and unloaded, shipping them will be more expensive.

DON’T: Don't forget to remove from the car with any personal belongings. While auto shipping insurance may cover any losses or accidents, the more things you keep in the car, the heavier it will be overall. The more goods you have in your car, the more it will cost to ship it - so get rid of them! Household objects are likewise prohibited from being transported by truck, according to DOT regulations.

DON’T: Don't try to transport anything illegal in your vehicle. Vehicles will be examined at state boundaries, and in addition to forbidden household items, firearms, animals, and narcotics will be prohibited.

DON’T: Complete, sign and save the Bill of Lading (BOL). This is a pre-shipment and post-delivery auto transport inspection form. Before releasing your auto, you and driver will need to complete and sign the BOL. You will use this form to verify no damage occurred to your auto during shipment.

DON’T: Don't assume that the lowest auto transport price is the best. In some circumstances, you may need to acquire insurance separately; before making a decision, make sure you have a total estimate (including insurance costs) in writing for moving your vehicle.
