How to Ship a Car to Another State?

🚚

Choose a Carrier

Decide between an open carrier (more affordable) or an enclosed carrier (extra protection). Research companies and read reviews to ensure reliability.

💰

Estimate Costs

Use a cost calculator to estimate expenses based on distance, vehicle size, route, and season. Compare multiple quotes for the best rate.

🧼

Prepare Your Vehicle

Clean your car, document pre-existing damage, remove personal items, and check fluids and battery for smooth loading.

📦

Arrange Pickup & Delivery

Book early, especially in peak season. Choose door-to-door for convenience or terminal-to-terminal to save money.

🛡️

Verify Insurance

Confirm the carrier’s policy covers your car’s value. Consider temporary coverage for added peace of mind.

🔍

Inspect Upon Delivery

When your car arrives, inspect it thoroughly. Report any new damage immediately to start the claims process.
