Why Auto Transport Beats Driving Yourself
For long-distance moves, auto transport saves money, time, and stress. You avoid fuel costs, hotel stays, food expenses, wear and tear, and the time investment of multi-day driving.
What to Expect at Pickup and Delivery
At pickup, the driver inspects your vehicle and creates a bill of lading. At delivery, the driver conducts a final inspection. Note any concerns before signing the delivery receipt.
Choosing Between Open and Enclosed Transport
Most vehicles ship via open carrier transport. Enclosed transport adds 40-80% to the cost but provides full weather protection. We recommend enclosed for luxury vehicles, classic cars, and exotic vehicles.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport
Before pickup, clean the exterior, remove personal items, leave a quarter tank of fuel, disable car alarms, and document existing damage with photos.
What to Expect During Transit
After pickup, your vehicle moves through our carrier network with real-time tracking. You’ll receive periodic updates from the driver as the carrier nears your destination.
