Door-to-door Seattle car shipping between the Sound and the lake, for tech transfers and fly-in arrivals, with Queen Anne met below on Mercer.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Seattle, the city on the hills between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, where I-5 runs the spine and I-90 comes across the floating bridge, the towers of downtown and South Lake Union hold the tech headquarters, Queen Anne and Capitol Hill climb at grades a truck remembers, the ferries leave from the waterfront, the airport sits fifteen minutes south, and the port sends the sailings to Alaska. Before we hand your car to a carrier, we verify its license and insurance and run it through our own vetting.
The hills shape pickup here. A 75-foot rig does not climb Queen Anne or thread Capitol Hill, so those addresses meet the truck below on Mercer or Broadway, and a downtown or South Lake Union tower meets it on a side street the building agrees to. The lots along Aurora Avenue at the north end, on Rainier Avenue near I-90 and on International Boulevard by the airport give a rig room to load close to the highway, and the flat grids of the north and south ends take the truck to the door. We handle tech transfers arriving on a start date, travelers who want delivery timed to their flight, students arriving in September, and families leaving for more room elsewhere.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Seattle, Ballard, West Seattle, Shoreline, or Burien, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
For a move elsewhere in the state, from the islands to the Idaho line, see our Washington car shipping guide.
Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and the other hills climb at grades a loaded rig will not run, so those addresses get a meeting point below fixed when you book, a few minutes from the door.
A tech transfer gets an itemized invoice the relocation desk can reimburse against, and a delivery window planned back from the first day at the new office.
Whether the car leaves a Ballard driveway or a Capitol Hill garage, the quote calculator emails an estimate from your route, car and dates, and a specialist calls to confirm the figure. One coordinator then carries the order to the inspection at your door, at an Aurora lot or at the bottom of your hill.
Seattle climbs between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, so the hills decide where a truck can stop, and a meeting point below them costs nothing extra. Five things move the quote up or down:
Seattle loads on the flat grids of the north and south ends, at the Aurora Avenue and Rainier Avenue lots, or below Queen Anne and Capitol Hill on Mercer or Broadway. San Francisco is the one lane of our own on this table, the middle half of our California to Washington open-carrier orders since 2023 and read northbound only; the Spokane, Denver, Chicago and New York bands are set by distance, using what customers paid on comparable trips in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
Seattle's bands describe a sedan on an open trailer. A full-size pickup, a heavy EV or a car that will not start costs more whether it loads in Ballard or the Rainier Valley, and enclosed transport adds about a third. Get the figure for your own street in the quote calculator or from a coordinator at (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
Queen Anne and Capitol Hill climb at grades a truck remembers, and the streets on them meet the truck below.
The tech headquarters fill it, and their transfers arrive on start dates all year.
The sailings to Alaska leave from the waterfront, and a car bound north starts its trip here.
It falls most days from October to May, and it never moves a date.
Please note: The San Francisco band runs one way, from California into Washington, and comes from our own open-carrier orders since 2023. Spokane, Denver, Chicago and New York reflect trips of comparable length booked from September 2025 to August 2026, and for a Seattle move the calculator emails an estimate that a specialist firms up on a call.
