Question 1

How much does it cost to ship a car?

Accepted Answer

When determining your car shipping cost, there are a few factors that we take into account in order to provide you with an accurate price quote. The mileage between the origin and destination is the biggest factor that contributes to your total rate. In addition to the distance of your relocation, another factor is the type and condition of the vehicle being shipped. The final factor is the date that your vehicle will be ready for transport. There are also additional options, such as enclosed carrier and top-load service that can be added to your shipment at the time of booking for a higher level of service.

Question 2

Can I ship a car from an auto auction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many of our business clients require service from salvage auctions and other types of auto auctions. Each auction will have different requirements to release a vehicle and we'll get all the necessary details from you at the time of booking. Please make sure the vehicle is fully paid and ready for release from the auction. Also be aware that if a vehicle is booked as operable but it turns out the vehicle is inoperable there will be additional cost and the original transporter may not be able to accommodate an inoperable vehicle.

Question 3

Do I need license plates on a vehicle to ship it?

Accepted Answer

No, we just need the vehicle and keys.

Question 4

Can I place an order if I don’t know the exact address?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the city and zip code will suffice until your exact pickup or delivery location is known.

Question 5

What is the Bill of Lading and what exactly does it have to do with my shipment?

Accepted Answer

The Bill of Lading is a very important document used by car shipping companies that documents any pre-existing damage on the vehicle during the time of pickup. It also serves as a record of your contact info and the official agreement for transport. If you want to file any insurance claim regarding your shipment you will need the Bill of Lading.

Question 6

What details do you need to place an order?

We will need the address for the locations that your vehicle will be picked up from and delivered to, along with the name and phone number of the contact person at each location. We will also need the date that your vehicle will be ready and the year, make, and model of the vehicle(s) that will be transported.

Question 7

Does someone have to be present for pick up and delivery?
