Berkeley sees constant vehicle shipping driven by UC Berkeley students, faculty relocations, and Bay Area tech movement. Students ship cars during semester transitions, while professionals move between Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley cities like Palo Alto and San Jose. Many residents also relocate out of state to Seattle, Austin, Los Angeles, and New York, making Berkeley a steady hub for inbound and outbound vehicle transport.
As part of the East Bay, Berkeley benefits from one of the busiest auto transport markets in the country.
