How to Ship a Car

Step One: Gather all the important information about your vehicle and shipping requirements, such as the make, model, and year of the auto being shipped, as well as the pick-up and destination 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 affordable price and contact the transportation business by phone or email.

Step Two: After selecting one of our quotes, work with your auto transport professional to plan shipping, finalize logistics, and make the initial payment whenever you're ready. Payments can be set up to meet your specific requirements.

Make sure to plan ahead of time for your car pick-up and delivery. Autos are frequently shipped in a multi-vehicle carrier, which may necessitate additional days if the driver must drop off other vehicles along the way. Your shipping specialist will be able to iron out the specifics in order to satisfy your delivery requirements.

Please notify us if your vehicle has been customized in any way. Raising or lowering the car, as well as custom wheels, tires, rims, spoilers, and other accessories, may increase the vehicle's length, width, height, and/or weight, affecting the cost of transportation. We also offer enclosed shipping and a variety of other services for specialist vehicle transport, including door-to-door service, if you have an antique car or a special care vehicle.

Step Three: Getting your auto ready for shipping by cleaning out all of your personal stuff, and don't intend on shipping the automobile with any household or personal items in it. This is for your safety, as the insurance that covers your vehicle while it is being transported does not cover personal belongings inside the vehicle. Furthermore, the added weight may increase the cost of shipping the car. Leave one or two windows cracked open, and the car should only have about a quarter tank of gas.

The driver who picks up the automobile will inspect the vehicle and make a note of any dings, dents, or scratches. Make sure the automobile is clean enough for you and the driver to see any damage that might be there. Disconnect or remove any toll pass or anti-theft devices that could cause issues for the driver when shipping, loading, or unloading.

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.

Auot Shipping Dos and Dont's

DO: Obtain a transport rate before opting to drive your auto a long distance. Auto transportation is frequently less costly than you would anticipate, and it's much more convenient than planning a car trip.

DO: Make a strategy ahead of time. The time it may take to pick up your vehicle may take up to 5 days, and the distance between the pickup and destination locations will impact how long it takes to ship your car. If you need the car delivered quickly, consider a fast shipment option.

DO: Consider how you'll pay the auto transporter. Debit cards, Paypal, cash, credit cards, and other forms of payment are accepted, however paying in cash can 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: Make sure to remove all of your personal possessions from the automobile. While auto transport insurance will cover potential losses or accidents, the more goods you have in the automobile, the heavier it'll become. It will be more expensive to transport your vehicle if you have more items in it, therefore get rid of them! Household objects are likewise prohibited from being transported by truck, according to DOT regulations.

DON’T: Attempting to ship anything unlawful in the car is not a good idea. Cars and trucks will be examined at state crossings, and things such as firearms, animals, and narcotics will be restricted, in addition to the prohibition on household items.

DON’T: Fill out the Bill of Lading (BOL), sign it, and save it. This is a pre-shipment and post-delivery inspection document for auto transport. You and your driver must complete the BOL before releasing your vehicle. This form will be used to certify that your vehicle was not damaged during shipment.

DON’T: Don't automatically assume that the cheapest auto transport is the best. In some cases, you may need to purchase insurance separately; before making a decision, be sure you obtain a written estimate for moving your vehicle (including insurance charges).
