First-Time Auto Shipping Guide

Everything you need to know before shipping your first vehicle.

1

Understanding Quotes

Quotes vary by season, distance, and vehicle size. Always ask if the price is guaranteed or an estimate.

2

Choosing a Carrier

Decide between Open (cheaper, standard) or Enclosed (safer, for luxury cars) transport.

3

Booking the Order

Once you accept a quote, we assign a vetted carrier. You do not pay the full amount upfront.

4

Delivery Day

Inspect your vehicle thoroughly with the driver and sign the Bill of Lading (BOL).
