Your vehicle will be assigned to the carrier that can best accommodate your route, timeframe and price. Now that you have agreed to the assigned carrier, initial payment will be due to secure your spot on the carrier’s truck.
On the day of pickup, your trucker will arrive and both of you will inspect your vehicle together and sign a Bill of Lading and the vehicle will be safely loaded onto the truck. Upon arrival at the destination, the vehicle will be safely offloaded. After a final inspection is completed and everything looks good, you’ll simply sign the Bill of Lading to accept your delivery.
The cost of car shipping depends on various factors, such as the distance to be traveled, the type of vehicle being shipped, whether you choose open or enclosed transport, and any additional services (such as door-to-door delivery or time of year). The mileage between the origin and destination is the most significant factor contributing to your total rate.

Rest easy knowing that your vehicle is completely covered by insurance from the instant a carrier collects it until delivery. We extensively vet each car shipping carrier to make sure they meet all Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for coverage. Exactly how much your automobile will be insured depends on its value, the trailer utilized and the provider.
If you take advantage of an open auto transport carrier, your cargo insurance coverage could range from $100,000 up to a maximum of $150,000. On the other hand, if you opt for an enclosed option—which we highly recommend—you can benefit from much higher coverage, ranging between $250,000 and even as high as 3 million. If needed at any point during this process--feel free to ask us for proof that our carriers have what's necessary for terms of insurance protection. We'd be more than happy to provide it upon request.
Preparing your car for its journey is a crucial step to ensure a smooth and safe transport. Before collection, be sure you give it a good cleaning inside and out. That way, you can take detailed photos of its current condition for future reference in case any damages occur during transportation.
You should also inspect the vehicle’s fluid levels, tire pressure, and battery charge. If you need to, you can inflate the tires or even jump-start the car with a portable charger. Any loose items must be removed from your vehicle before it’s picked up. Lastly, make sure only one key is given to the shipper so that no unauthorized parties have access to your car during transport.
The exact amount of time it takes for a vehicle to be shipped depends on the distance and route taken, as well as any necessary stops along the way. Generally speaking, though, a car can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks to be transported—but this also varies depending on factors such as traffic or weather conditions. With Ship A Car, Inc., you’ll get a realistic timeline for when your car should be delivered, so that way you can plan accordingly. After all, it’s our mission to ensure your auto is transported safely and quickly.
Absolutely not! If you're within the contiguous U.S., then there is no need to worry about showing your license, title, or registration.
Yes, the cost of car shipping can be affected by gas prices. Gas prices are an important factor for carriers since they rely on fuel to drive from one location to another. Depending on the route taken and other factors, the price of gas can have a direct impact on how much your auto transport will cost.
Yes, you can still schedule car shipping even if you don’t have an exact address. We understand that circumstances may change and it is not always possible to know the exact address until closer to the date of pickup or delivery. When speaking with our customer service representatives about scheduling car shipping, simply let us know what general area you are located in, and we can work with you to determine the best pick-up or delivery location.
Yes, you can ship an oversized vehicle with Ship A Car, Inc. We are proud to offer specialized services for transport of large and heavy equipment, including cars, trucks, boats, RVs, trailers and more. In addition to having the necessary experience and resources to handle these types of shipments with ease, we also have extra insurance coverage available for pieces of equipment that require it. All you need to do is let us know the type and weight of your oversized vehicle, so we can provide you with an accurate quote for its shipping.
It really depends on what you’re shipping. Enclosed trailers offer more protection and security than open trailers, so if your vehicle is especially valuable or delicate, an enclosed trailer may be the better option. That said, open trailers are typically cheaper and easier to book, which might make them a better choice for those who just want a basic, affordable car shipping service.
Absolutely! Ship A Car, Inc. also offers specialized shipping for classic and exotic cars. We understand that these vehicles require extra care and attention when it comes to transport, so we make sure to provide the highest level of service possible, ensuring your vehicle is handled safely and securely at all times.
Yes, someone over the age of 18 needs to be present at both pick-up and delivery. We make sure that all the necessary paperwork is signed and that the car is inspected for any existing damage before it is shipped. It’s also important for someone to be there at delivery, so they can inspect the vehicle upon arrival and sign off on its condition. This protects you in case there is any damage that occurred during transit. We also find it helps to have a contact point on either end of the delivery, so we can quickly resolve any issues that may arise while your car is in transit.
Yes, you can put personal items in your vehicle. However, we do not recommend putting anything of significant value or that is irreplaceable inside the car. Your auto transport carrier is not liable for any items that are stolen from the vehicle during transit and insurance policies typically will not cover them either. Furthermore, the combined weight of these items must not exceed one hundred pounds and must be placed in either the trunk or behind (or under) a window line.
The First Available Pick-up Date is the soonest date that we can schedule a pickup for your vehicle. It depends on the availability of our carriers and their routes. Our customer service team will work with you to find the best available pick-up date based on your needs, while also trying to provide the most cost-effective solution.
We accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express. If you would prefer to pay via check or bank transfer, please contact us directly for more information. A deposit will be charged once you have been assigned to a carrier and the remaining balance must be paid in full via cash or certified funds at the time of drop off. Additionally, we can provide other options if needed – just let us know when you call to book your shipment.
