Bob Moran really helped me out and made sure everything went smoothly. He added a very nice personal touch and called up to check in if I had any questions or concerns about where my car was or how much I could put in my car. There prices are great compared to other companies and the service is outstanding.

The driver was nice and very friendly. He lifted my car on the truck and danced on the truck for like an hour. The movers and drier were very good fellas, absolutely recommended. All of them say the same really decent genuine garage that won’t rip you off or mess you about. Thanks for the service!

The only thing better than ship a car is Bob, who works at ship a car. Bob is a great listener who will help you get your vehicle where it needs to get to. Bob worked with us to get our rav4 moved from Florida to New York. He listened to our needs and wants and crafted a time and price that coordinated perfectly with our plans. Unlike many transporters, Bob gave us a quote which was believable, accurate, and was the price we ended up paying. He doesn't bait you with a low price which can't be fulfilled. I have already recommended ship a car to friends and will continue. Thanks Bob!!!

The driver showed up and dropped off the car exactly when he said he would. It was an extremely smooth experience. I would recommend Ship A Car to anybody. They honored the price and there was no damage to the vehicle at all.

Ship a Car Inc. is the best motorcycle shipping company I have had the pleasure of encountering. This is the second time they have shipped my bike. I have had experience with other shippers and, in my experience, Ship a Car Inc. sets the standard for quality service. This time I had my bike shipped from Santa Fe NM to Florida. Joseph Gorfien was my facilitator. He arranged to have the bike picked up within a couple of days. Considering the shop at which I had left it was closed for a day, this was the first possible opportunity to ship it. Amazing! Joseph thought it might take about six days to deliver the bike to Florida, but it got here in three. Amazing! The bike has a custom paint job and custom parts. There was not one scratch on the bike and everything was in perfect order. These folks have not only demonstrated extreme competency in making what could have been a couple of difficult situations totally stress-free, they all seem to have a great sense of humor. I love these folks! Thank you for a couple of wonderful experiences, Ship a Car. I highly recommend their service. In the future, I won’t use anyone else.

I have to say It was a great experience! Kristina went above and beyond to help me get my car shipped to Juneau, Ak from Ohio. It was difficult to even have a conversation with my remote cell coverage, quite the challenge. She was professional and delightful, when I’m ready to return I will use their services again.

Everything worked out perfectly with Ship A Car. We were helped by Christie, and she was perfect. My daughter was calling her every couple of days to see what the status was. Initially, we got started on a rocky road, but that was our fault because we had a vendor that we thought was going to help, and he was scamming. So, we were very glad when we got in touch with Christie. She talked us through what would happen and when it would happen. In the very end, she fulfilled those dates that she said. The gentleman who was driving was cordial and helpful. He had to park someplace else because our street is small. The car got here safely. I was really satisfied.

Katrina was outstanding to deal with- so friendly, accommodating and fair! The driver was also exceptional - he worked within my timeframe and kept in touch to let me know his timing.

The dispatch person, Amanda, was always available to inform me of where my car was on route.

I work with Steve directly. He's my Ship A Car go-to guy. He's been nothing short of fantastic for me. I probably send him out about three quotes a day, and he gets back to me the same day. It's usually within a couple of hours. So, he's been great. All I do is send him an email with what I need, and he fires right back. He gets at least one or two bikes a week from me. I send out anywhere from 10 to 15 bikes a month. So, I use Ship A Car quite a bit. They’re great.

I called Ship a Car, inc for a quote to ship a motorcycle from Central California to Southeastern Texas. Willie D. quickly responded to my RFQ with a decent bid with a 7 - 9 day transit time. We easily came to terms over the phone, a truck arrived the following day. Willie offered same day pickup but that didn't work for me. As it went, the bike was delivered in 4 days! Needless to say that I'm delighted with the company's service and efficiency. Willie D. kept in touch until I was satisfied. I should mention that Ship a Car, inc is a broker who contracts to shippers.

This company and is a broker, they do not want to go above and beyond. There was a delay in our expedited shipment and they really didn't try to help. While talking to myself and my wife they hung up on my wife. When we called back to speak to a manager, the manager really didn't seem to care and still didn't try to help with the delay. The actual company they hired to transport our vehicle is the one that absolutely went above and beyond. The customer service at ship a car was really unprofessional.

Quinten worked for several days and got a great rate with a quick delivery date from the west coast. Thank Quinten. This was the first experience shipping a vehicle. Ship a Car will certainly be used for any future business. Before using Ship a Car I tried Uship. Being around the christmas holidays it didn't look good shipping a truck cross country. Within 24 hours I recieved a good bid and immediately was scammed by an alleged hauler that cleaned out my bank account.

Efficient and communicated from beginning to end. Bob Moran was superb in how he handled my urgent need to get me moved. From the dispatcher, Rose, to the kind driver, Ted, all treated my urgency with respect. My car was picked up 1 day sooner and delivered on time and was I happy. I had previously booked with another company and had to cancel after waiting for them 3 days with still no driver. Bob called as a follow up call and let him take over as soon as I cancelled with other company. He worked fast in arranging and taking care of our needs. Thank you

I used them to transport a repo'd car from Michigan to North Carolina. This means I had to be a middle man between the shipping company and the repo yard, it was no walk in the park, but thanks to Theo at ship-a-car he was very patient and worked very hard to get me a driver to pick the car up (very difficult time slot for pick-up from repo yard) I couldn't have done it without his help and his determination to provide me with the best customer service possible. Thanks, Ship-A-Car!!!

I booked my car with Howard . To ship from Atlantic Beach Florida to Irvine California . We agreed to 1300.00 fee . That included three containers in my car upto 100lbs... upon delivery I was charged an extra $100.00 for the containers. They would NOT unload my car until I gave them the extra $100.00 dollars. I had called Howard several times on the issue and he never resolved the issue of the extra 100.00 dollars . This company is a ripoff. They are by far the most expensive ones out there. I will also be reporting them to the BBB. I was so excited to have my shipped only to have a huge negative experience with this company.

I will never use this company again nor would I recommend that any consumer use it. Not only did my car not arrive a week after the allotted 6-10 day quote, the communication was horrible and evasive. They did not take responsibility for our car's whereabouts and had no answers as to when the car would arrive. They refused to reimburse me for the rental car I was forced to get because of this delay. At one point when I was trying to get to the bottom of what was happening the associate hung up on me. He had given me the run around for 3 days and never returned my calls. I am a very patient person and I knew there would be a delay given the holiday weekend. I padded that into my time but the lack of communication and lack of respect of my situation was totally unprofessional and frustrating. As I am writing this we still don't have our car.

They did a fantastic job shipping my car on a super short notice (2 days) in the holiday season! No difference between initial offer and final payment. They work with great drivers - no damage at all on the car. My car has been shipped to Houston, TX from NJ. It's been delivered within 5 days after being picked up! Very fast service in the holiday season for that long distance. No surprise charges, no damage, very fast service, and great communication --> no stress. Couldn't be happier!

The rep who answered the phone was a car person. He explained to me that his dad had lots of cars and he had a Dairy Queen and they parked their cars out front. I’ve always been around race cars and he has a racecar. So, out of all the people I talked to, whoever that rep was, he was the most knowledgeable. He is probably Ship A Car’s best salesman. The car was to be transported to my house and they said it would be here Friday. I was out of town and I was driving back from Fort Worth in the evening on Wednesday, and I get a call. The man said that he would like to drop off my car that night. I said that I was not even at my house and asked how he got down so fast. It was Wednesday. He said not to worry about it and asked if he could drop it off between 7:00 and 8:00. I got up in the morning and my wife informed me that the sprinkler people were coming. So at 7:15, at least four pickup trucks and about eight guys showed up, and they all parked around our house. And at 7:45, a neighbor, two houses down, was replacing their fence. So, another four trucks showed up with eight guys. And accordingly, I’m going, “Where is this guy?” And sure enough, here he comes with the transport, zigzagging in between all these parked trucks. He asked where he would park. I told him to back it in our cul-de-sac and he did. Then, the local security guard asked if I was moving. I told him I was getting a car delivered. So, he stops. There must be 20 people, all watching. Then the driver asked if I knew how to drive a stick shift. He couldn’t get the car out of the carrier because he couldn’t drive a stick. So I told him I would help him. He’s got two cars in the carrier, mine, which follow in the front, and another car that’s barely turned over. It’s shaking and rattling, and he backs that out. He puts it in neutral and it’s just sitting there idly. He comes back in and gives me the keys. I asked him if he realized how much space there was between the door and the carrier and I couldn't get in the car. He’s a skinny guy so he gets in the car. I told him to wind the window down, get out of the car and let me see if I can hold on the top of the carrier, and I’ll get in like a racecar driver. So, that’s what I did. And the moment I turned on that car, I was in heaven. The sound of that car gave me goosebumps, and I backed it up probably about a half a mile per hour, super slow. I drive around all the cars and I said that I got to inspect this because it was way dustier than what the photo showed. I looked at it and it was perfect. Finally, my wife started talking to the two other people that wanted to talk to me but I said that I gotta get this in the garage and check it out. The driver was gonna leave and once he leaves, if there were any problems, it’s sorry, Charlie. Then, we paid the driver and he was all smiles because it was 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s and 50s. We hadn't had a chance to go to the bank to just give him a 100. And he got in his trailer. It was a very nice experience.

I had a seamless first-time vehicle transport experience with Ship A Car, inc. I know that is largely because of Bob Moran, the coordinator who helped me. Personable, patient, professional, always willing to answer further questions, he gave me excellent customer service and I greatly appreciate it! I was so nervous and dreading getting started but Bob put me at ease and I quickly gained great confidence in the company because of his easy and knowledgeable communication. In addition, the driver dispatched to move my car from Los Angeles To St Petersburg, Florida was punctual, called when he was supposed to, prior to pickup/delivery, and made great time completing the transport. He picked up Monday around 2 pm and delivered at 9 am on that Friday. I have nothing but praise for Ship A Car, Inc. and enthusiastically recommend them!

Everything about the process of transporting my car with the people over at Ship A Car went according to plan and exactly as they said they would. The guy that came to pick up the car was right on time and very engaging. He took the time to tell me the plan for the delivery of the car and the time frame in which it would be delivered. The guy took great care in loading my car up which I really appreciated. The car ended up arriving at the destination before I did which the guy said it would and he was able to contact my daughter so that she was available for the delivery. The whole process was just so smooth and easy and went exactly as they said it would which makes me one happy and satisfied customer.

More information about our trusted vehicle transport services

Ship A Car: Our clients' most frequent questions

How much does it cost to ship a car?

The cost of shipping a car is determined by a number of distinctive factors, including the distance that has to be traveled, the type of vehicle that is being transported, whether you opt for open or enclosed transport, and any additional services that may be required (for example, in-op vehicle transport, door-to-door delivery, or the time of year of transport). The most important factor that contributes to your overall car shipping rate is the distance traveled between the point of pickup and the delivery location.
How do I get a quote for shipping my vehicle?

Get in touch with our auto transport coordinators at (866) 821-4555 or make use of our user-friendly online car shipping calculator to obtain the most accurate estimate possible for transporting your vehicle. It is essential that you provide your transport coordinator over the phone or fill out the calculator form with as much information as possible in order to guarantee that you receive an accurate estimate for the shipment of your vehicle.
Is my vehicle fully insured during the car transport process?

From the moment a carrier picks up your vehicle until the moment it is delivered, you may have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is totally insured by the carrier's insurance. In order to ensure that every car shipping carrier satisfies all of the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for coverage, we conduct a thorough process of screening them. The amount of coverage that your vehicle will receive is contingent upon the value of the vehicle, the trailer that is being used, and the carrier's insurance provider.

Your cargo insurance coverage might range anywhere from $100,000 to a maximum of $150,000 if you use an open auto transport carrier to ship your vehicle. On the other hand, if you choose to go with an enclosed auto transport carrier option, which is something that we strongly advise you to do, you will be able to take advantage of significantly larger coverage amounts, which may range anywhere from $250,000 to even 3 million. Feel free to ask us for confirmation that the carriers that we have in our network have what is required for terms of insurance protection at any stage throughout this process, if you feel that it is essential to do so. We'd be more than happy to provide it upon request.
Car Shipping Insurance - Do I need Gap Coverage?

While your vehicle is being loaded onto a truck, during the entirety of the process of transporting your vehicle and while it is being unloaded from the truck at its delivery location, it will be completely protected by the insurance of the carrier. This is a guarantee that is offered by all reputable auto shipping companies, including Ship A Car, Inc. Regrettably, when it comes to insurance, the majority of vehicle transport brokers will not warn you that there are sometimes exceptions that apply. You may find yourself in a scenario where you are required to rely on your own personal vehicle insurance if the insurance carried by a carrier does not pay for the damages that have been caused to your vehicle or vehicles. Take into consideration only those car transport companies that provide supplementary insurance alternatives, such as gap protection through the Othex Protection plan program. There should be no auto shipment that does not include it, and every car shipper ought to reevaluate any company that does not provide an option to purchase gap protection for shipping vehicles.
How do I prepare my car for shipping?

In order to guarantee a smooth and risk-free car shipping experience, it is essential to get your vehicle ready for the trip. Make sure that you give it a thorough cleaning on the inside and the outside before handing it over to the auto carrier. By doing so, you will be able to take detailed photographs of its current condition for future reference in the event that any damages occur while it is being transported.

In addition to that, you need to check the fluid levels, tire pressure, and battery charge of the vehicle. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to, you can use a portable charger to jump-start the car or even inflate the tires. Before the vehicle is picked up, you are required to remove any items that are loose from inside of it. Last but not least, make sure that the shipper is only given one key to your vehicle because this will ensure that no unauthorized individuals are able to access your vehicle while it is being transported.
How long does auto transport take?

In order to determine the precise amount of time required to ship a vehicle, it is necessary to take into account the distance traveled, the route taken, and any stops that are required along the way. In general, however, the time it takes to transport a car can range anywhere from a few days to a few weeks; however, this time frame can change depending on a variety of factors, including the amount of traffic and the specific weather conditions. By working with Ship A Car, Inc., you will be provided with an accurate timeline for when your vehicle is expected to be picked up and delivered, allowing you to make appropriate preparations. After all, it’s our mission to ensure your auto is transported safely and quickly.
Are there any documents that are required in order to ship your vehicle? (e.g., license, ownership papers…)

Absolutely not! Therefore, there is no need to worry about presenting your driver's license, title, registration, or insurance if the locations where the vehicle will be picked up and dropped off are located within the contiguous United States.
Does the cost of car shipping change based on gas prices?

It is true that the cost of shipping a car can be impacted by the current price of gas. Due to the fact that carriers rely on fuel to travel from one location to another, the price of gasoline is an important factor for shipping companies. The price of gasoline can have a significant impact on the total cost of transporting your vehicle, and this influence can vary depending on the route that is taken as well as other factors.

Is an enclosed trailer better than an open trailer when shipping a car?

That is highly dependent on the vehicle that you are shipping. When compared to open trailers, enclosed trailers provide a higher level of protection and security. Therefore, if your vehicle is brand new, particularly valuable, or delicate, it is conceivable that an enclosed trailer is the more appropriate option. With that being said, open trailers are typically less expensive and simpler to book, which may make them a more suitable option for individuals who are looking for a straightforward and cost-effective automobile shipping service.

When it comes to car transport pick-up and delivery, is it necessary for someone to be present?

A person who is at least 18 years old is required to be present at both the pick-up and the delivery of the vehicle. Before you ship the vehicle, the auto carrier will carry out a thorough inspection to check for any existing damage and you will need to make sure that everything is documented on the bill of lading and finally all of the necessary paperwork has been signed by you and the auto carrier driver. Additionally, it is essential that someone be present at the time of delivery in order to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle upon its arrival and provide a signature on the bill of lading confirming its condition. In the event that there is any damage that occurred while the vehicle was in transit, this safeguards you. In addition, we have found that it is beneficial to have a contact person on either end of the delivery process. This allows us to quickly resolve any issues that may arise while your vehicle is in transit.
Can I put personal items in my vehicle?

The answer is yes; you are permitted to load your personal belongings into your vehicle. Having said that, we do not advise leaving anything inside the vehicle that is of significant value or that cannot be replaced. During the time that your vehicle is being transported, neither your auto transport company nor the auto carrier company, are liable for any items that are stolen from the vehicle, and insurance policies typically do not cover such thefts either. Additionally, the total weight of these items must not exceed one hundred pounds, and they must be contained within the trunk of the vehicle or behind (or under) a window line.
Take Note - When you are going to put some personal belongings in the vehicle for the transportation process, make sure that you inform your transport coordinator about it.
What does the First Available Pick-up Date mean?

"First Available Pick-up Date" refers to the earliest day that we are able to schedule a pickup for your vehicle.

Our team of transport coordinators will work together with you to determine the most suitable date for pick-up, taking into account your requirements, while also making every effort to offer a cost-effective solution.

Which online car shipping reviews are important to consider?

According to consumers, the most important factors to take into consideration are reviews and accreditations for companies that ship cars. It is recommended that you conduct research with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), as well as consult feedback from previous customers. A car shipping business that is reputable and trustworthy has to at the very least be certified with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and have a good rating (A or better). When it comes to vehicle transporters, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is an excellent independent business dependability review board. Most other auto transport review sites receive some compensation for their services from companies. Because of this, there are instances in which evaluated businesses pay for their rankings like on Forbes.com, ConsumerAffairs.com and so many other ranking sites in the car shipping industry. When you transport a vehicle, you should do it with a car shipping business that you can rely.
Do car shipping costs vary from state to state?

Vehicles that are being shipped to the states of California (CA), Florida (FL), New York (NY), and Texas (TX) are the most frequently traveled routes. There are also a number of other states that are popular, including Georgia (GA), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), Massachusetts (MA), Ohio (OH), South Carolina (SC), North Carolina (NC), and Arizona (AZ). The remaining states have a lower demand, and as a result, there are fewer auto carriers that service those routes.

Are you a broker or a carrier for auto transport?

It is a calculated risk to ship a car without the assistance of a auto transport broker. For the purpose of preventing clients from being taken advantage of by dubious car shipping carriers, the industry of auto transport is controlled through the services of brokers. The responsibility of assisting and educating customers in order to guarantee that their carriers are licensed with the Department of Transportation and insured has been delegated to auto transport brokers. When consumers do not have access to a broker, they face the danger of hiring a carrier that is not only unreliable but also uninsured and unlawful. This scenario frequently results in the consumer being left with a damaged vehicle and no way to seek compensation. Ship A Car, Inc. is a licensed and insured auto transport broker.
