When you reach out to us about moving a car, we’ll request some basic information. You’ll need to provide the city and state for the vehicle's pickup, the city and state for delivery, as well as the make, model, and year of the vehicle. Additionally, you should inform us whether the vehicle is running, your preferred shipping method, and the date it will be ready for pick-up. In the auto transport industry, this is referred to as the First Available Pick-up Date.
We pick up your vehicle
Step #2 in the process of shipping your car is the vehicle pick-up. The carrier assigned to your shipment will reach out to you a few hours in advance to inform you that they are en route. You must confirm that commercial vehicles can access the pick-up location. Before they get in touch, please check for any restrictions, such as overhead power lines or low-hanging branches, that might obstruct the carrier's truck and trailer.
Don't worry too much if there’s an issue, as you can easily find a more appropriate location. For instance, you might know of a nearby street that is wider where you can meet. A pick-up at your workplace or in a nearby parking lot could also be more convenient.
You pick up your vehicle.
Shipping a car isn’t a lengthy or complicated process, and soon enough, the carrier will contact you to let you know they’re just a few hours away from the delivery location. This is just a courtesy call, but it’s also a heads-up so you can ensure you’re available to receive your vehicle. If you anticipate being busy, you can easily arrange for someone else to receive the car on your behalf. You can designate a third party, as long as they are at least 18 years old. This person could be a coworker, neighbor, family member, or friend.
Once your vehicle is unloaded, the driver will ask you to inspect its condition and compare it to the Bill of Lading. If you selected the Discounted Price payment option, this is the time to give the driver the final payment. You can settle this amount in cash, with a money order, or by using a cashier’s check.
