Auto shipping companies have made it easier than ever to move vehicles from one location to another. Whether you are moving your family across the country or looking to purchase a vehicle in another state, auto shipping offers a safe, affordable, and convenient way to move your vehicle. Auto shipping companies take extra precautions to ensure your vehicle arrives safely at its destination and they have the ability to accommodate a variety of vehicles. 

Compact Cars

Auto shipping companies are an ideal solution for transporting your car or sedan a long distance. You have the option to choose between an open or enclosed trailer and you can also choose between door-to-door delivery or terminal-to-terminal transport. 

Trucks and SUV’s

Auto shipping companies have the ability to ship a number of different types of vehicles including trucks and SUV’s. Keep in mind that the price of shipment is determined by the size and weight of the vehicle, so shipping a truck or SUV might cost a bit more than a compact car. 

Classic/Antique Cars

Whether you are an avid car collector or you have that one-of-kind family heirloom, your classic or antique car is important to you so it should be handled with care. Auto shipping companies have the ability to safely transport your vehicle anywhere in the country. You even have the option to choose enclosed transport for additional safety and protection. 

Luxury Vehicles

Are you looking to ship your exotic or luxury vehicle? If so, an auto shipping company has the ability to meet your needs. They will take extra precautions to ensure your vehicle arrives safely at its destination. You don’t have to worry about putting additional mileage and wear and tear on your valuable vehicle. With auto shipment, you can rest easy knowing your vehicle is well protected throughout the shipping process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Car Moving Questions

The hardest thing for people researching car moving companies to understand is that the prices they are getting are not hard and fast gaurantees, but rather ESTIMATES of what one company thinks it will take to get a vehicle moved promptly versus another company's opinion of what it will take. Don't be fooled, there are not carriers committed to take your vehicle at these quoted prices, the company you choose will still have to get to work getting a carrier to commit to move it at the price they quote you.

Your total price breaks down into two parts, the broker's fee (or 'deposit' as everyone calls it) and the carriers fee (your COD amount) Make no mistake about this, EVERYONE YOU ARE GETTING SALES CALLS FROM IS GOING TO BROKER YOUR MOVE. In this industry, there are brokers who try to fool you into thinking that they are the actual carriers and there are an equal amount of carriers who sell themselves on the fact that they have a truck or two but are not being honest about the fact that they broker out 90% of the orders they book. Here is a quick easy way to tell, if a company takes an up front fee, whether they call it a deposit or any other name, they are a broker. Carriers do not take any payment until the vehicle is delivered.

In our opinion, you are crazy to do so. Have you ever been paid up front for the work that you perform for your employer? Why would you pay a fee up front when there are reliable and trustworthy companies like ours that won't ask for it until we provide you with your carriers details?

The average transit time from pick up to delivery on any vehicle going coast to coast will be between one and two weeks. From there you can figure your transit time based on how far your vehicle is traveling, i.e. from either coast to the Midwest might average 3-7 days.
