How Long Does Shipping a Car Take?
Depending on the distance, weather, time of year, origin and destination it may take over 10 days to deliver cars nationwide. For every 400 miles – add 1 extra day of transit time. Regional and short trips can be done as fast as the next day. Reach out to discuss your specific shipment details.
Does Vehicle Type Matter When Shipping?
SUVs and trucks take up more space and new electric cars weight more; a car hauler that can ship up to 10 traditional sedans, will be limited to only 6 SUVs for example because car haulers are regulated by DOT on maximum height clearances & weight distribution per axle. Modified vehicles are more difficult to transport if they are lifted, fitted with oversized tires or lowered; which may require specialize equipment.
Is Shipping a Car a Good Idea?
Shipping a car by truck is safe and practical option when moving 100s of miles or buying a new car. Having shipped thousands of cars for people, the convenience of not having to drive multiple cars, opportunity cost, reducing wear and tear on the vehicle or not having to buy flights are all significant factors when deciding.
Can I Pack Personal Items When Shipping a Car?
The general acceptable limit of personal items or “stuff” when shipping a car is 100 lbs. However, personal items are not covered by insurance and such you should be prudent on when including those belongings.
How Do I Ship a Car?
Once you select a transport company and get a quote to move your car, you will sign a contract and agree on a schedule for pick-up and delivery. Dispatchers will coordinate with the assigned driver and assign appropriate equipment.
How to Prepare Your Car for Shipping
Performing basic maintenance on a car is a good idea to ensure it doesn’t become inoperable during the trip; charged battery, fresh fuel and functional brakes are all advised in additional to cleaning the car to allow the driver to make a proper inspection.

Our partner carriers will give your vehicle the care and attention it deserves as it moves through any potential hazardous zones.
Furthermore, demand is high in the fall. With hundreds of thousands of college students and snowbirds relocating to warmer weather, shipping carriers are hard-pressed to meet that demand.
