Friends We Serve

VEHICLES WE SHIP

Standard Vehicles

STANDARD VEHICLES

Cars, SUVs, Pickup Trucks, Motorcycles.

Exotics, Classics, and Show Cars

EXOTICS, CLASSICS, & SHOW CARS

High-end, pricey, and irreplaceable vehicles need more personal care and protection during transport.

accident

INOPERABLE VEHICLES

Do you have a vehicle that doesn’t run but still needs to ship? No problem. You’re good to go as long as it rolls, brakes, and steers! This is a premium service because the trailer needs special equipment to load your inoperable vehicle safely.

Oversized and Other Vehicle Types

OVERSIZED & OTHER VEHICLE TYPES

Call us if you have a vehicle that doesn’t seem to fit into any of these categories. We can work with you to make it happen, or we may be able to connect you with a company that can and will treat you with the same level of care as we would.

CARRIERS WE USE

There are over 40,000 auto transport trucks running in the United States represented by 15,000+ different companies, so you can imagine the amount of vetting that needs to take place when providing you with the right Carrier.  While all of auto shipping comes down to the availability of the Carrier, we work very hard to make sure the Carrier we provide fits certain criteria:   They must have all their paperwork in order and up to date, they must have a great rating/reputation in the industry, and they must have the right equipment that meets your request.  There are three types of Carriers that you can choose from…

trailer

OPEN CARRIER

The most cost-effective and common method of shipping a vehicle. These are the trucks you see driving down the highways pulling trailers with vehicles out in the open air.

Keep in mind that your vehicle will still be exposed to the open road and the elements so make sure to do a thorough vehicle inspection with your Assigned Carrier.

car-trailer

ENCLOSED CARRIER

Would you prefer to have your vehicle completely protected from the weather and any normal road exposure?  Then this option is for you!

These trailers have hard or soft enclosures on all sides and the roof.  This is a premium service and can cost up to 50% more than an open carrier.

car-trailer

SPECIALTY CARRIER

If you have a vehicle that is considered Inoperable, which means that it can’t be driven onto the the trailer under its own power, this is your only option.

These trailers have special equipment such as a winch that allows them to safely load and unload your vehicle.  As a result, these Carriers charge more for their services.

PLACES WE GO

We serve the entire United States as well as some International locations as provided by our strategic maritime partners.  If you need to ship your vehicle outside of the Lower 48 States, please call us to get a custom quote and a more detailed outline of the rules & restrictions when shipping overseas.
