My coordinator was Lisa P and she was awesome. She kept me in the loop as my motorcycle was transported almost 1600 miles. I would use Ship A Car again.

Being a university student in a town up in Northern California that is isolated from big cities, I was stressing so much about how I was going to get my non-running vehicle back to Southern California. Bob Moran went above and beyond with helping me. I have never experienced such high quality care for customers. He took the time out of his busy day to try to get a carrier that would fit my school's parking lot and get continuous contact with me. I appreciate his help and he even called me for a follow up just to make sure my vehicle had arrived in good shape. Overall, I will be recommending your business to everyone because Bob was such a great help. Thank you.

I must apologize for not writing sooner, but our move has extremely long and our household just arrived (computers as well). I can't say enough good things about the excellent service we received! Your communications with us, answering all my questions and keeping me calm all the way through the process were priceless. Our driver "Ihar" was fabulous! He made contact with us and came through as promised on arrival time. He took his time (being a true professional) to make sure that both cars were hooked up nice and tight to ensure no damage would come to them. He took photos of the cars and was very professional and kept in touch with us on his arrival. He was so quick getting our cars to their destination, that he beat us there. He did not complain about having to wait 3 hours, while our plane landed and we made our way over to meet him. The cars were in the same condition as when they left. We were very, very happy with his service! We will definitely refer "Shipacarinc" to anyone who asked us about shipping a car!

Made a car shipment happen in 24 hours that was taking forever with other company. I was willing to pay a few bucks extra. Other company kept delaying and making excuses, this guy made it happen literally overnight and was excellent returning calls and follow up. Cool guy and fun to talk to as well.

I never had to have a vehicle shipped, but recently experienced a family health emergency and needed to get a vehicle back to NJ. Instead of taking advantage by charging me a lot of money, Danny was extremely sympathetic to my situation and gave me an excellent price for truck to be shippend from Florida to NJ. The vehicle was delivered as promised and there wasn't a scratch on it. If ever I need this type of service again, I no longer have to look any further to find a company because I will return back here.

i am very pleased with Jocelyn with Ship a Car, she helped me with booking a driver to ship a car to my son from Georgia to Utah. I was sceptical at first from talking to other compananies and they were giving me different answers about a quote. Jocelyn was straight up with me, she gave me her word that she would not stop until she got me a driver and stay in contact with me the entire process which she did. even after my son received the car she checked with me to make sure everything was good. Thank you for your help.

After speaking with 3 different car shipping companies, I found Bob Moran at Ship-A-Car. What a relief to speak with someone that answered all my questions and walked me through the entire process. More importantly, Bob delivered on all the promises he made me. This was my first time shipping a car and I was nervous and confused Bob put me at ease right away and quoted me a reasonable price. Moreover, this all transpired over the 4th of July holiday, my car was delivered on the 4th of July safe and sound. We are still amazed at how fast the car was delivered (4days), how professional and honest Ship-A-Car and Bob Moran have been to us.

Fantastic to work with and had a great experience with this company. Follow through was great and always just a phone call away. Shipped my daughters car from East coast to West coast and it arrived as promised. What I really like is that her car is designed with the front and rear bumpers somewhat lower to the ground then normal and this was a concern for me. I watched the car loaded on to the carrier and it went on perfectly. Very very happy and would highly recommend.

Excellent communication from Ship-A-Car Direct (Stefan and others). They lined up ARK Transport, who made an uneventful trip from Colorado to Ohio. Car was delivered at 10:30 PM (No problem for me, but I was unable to take good receiving inspection photos. Driver was very careful unloading car. No damage during transit.

With the coronavirus raging unabated in the Miami area, I needed to have my car transported to me, at my Lexington, KY home since I couldn’t go back to FL anytime soon. I talked to several vendors. They were all impressive until I talked to Bob at Ship A Car. His calming voice, his reassuring manner, and his ability and desire to thoroughly check all the facts before committing, cinched the deal. A few days after my vehicle was picked up, it was delivered to me at my address flawlessly. He embraces customer centricity, and checked in afterwards to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. I have no qualms whatsoever in recommending his service to anyone with a need. He’s the BEST!

Service was great! No problems or delays. The car hauler was very responsive whenever I called and the customer service was great. We took the car to the pick up location and picked it up when it arrived in California. The car was a little dirty from the travel in an open truck but it was delivered in great condition. I would use them again if I had a car to haul.

I must say I was amazed at the service I received from SHIP A CAR INC....especially their customer service rep J. Meigs.... a sure asset to this company. I was in a bind ..my car was not going anywhere and he made it happen for me. There was constant communication... and any time I had a question my calls and emails were returned. My car was picked up on time....delivered safely... and the person who brought the car out also did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend and use this company again.

Ship A Car was the most organized professional business I've dealt with in a long time. I brought a large van bus from an auction and was deeply searching for a reliable and reasonably priced company. In my search, I called 5 companies and Ship A Car provided the best price. The lady in the office, Yvonne was wonderful, I'm not sure of her hours because I was able to reach her day or night so needless to say they exceeded my expectations.

I can not speak more highly of the assistance Joseph G. provided me throughout this process to date. When I first worked with Joseph on this shipment, he told me that if I needed anything during the shipment stage, to let him know. And he was true to his words! When I had to change the person who was going to drop my car off at the shipping port, he immediately contacted Matson to make that change. On the day of the drop off, an issue came up regarding the acceptance of my vehicle at the port, so I called Joseph to see if he could assist. He immediately attempted to get in touch with me to see how he could assist. When I didn't pick up his call, he right away contacted the person I had told him was going to drop the car off at Matson to find out the problem. I then called Joe back, and discussed the problem with him. After a discussion, he gave me pointers to resolve the issue, and requested that I contact him about any subsequent next steps that he could assist with to ensure the car was accepted on that day, which was actually the final day to have my auto on the next ship. I am greatly impressed with the care and concern that Joseph displayed with my situation. He had a definite "can do" attitude, and was ready to jump in head first in order to help me in any way he could to make sure the shipment was a success. To add importance is that I am attempting to have my car shipped from Honolulu to California while I am trying to manage this as I currently am located in Dallas. Having Joseph as my wing man and a concerned and very responsive primary contact point is invaluable, since this is such a long distance transaction for me. If Joseph is a true representative of Ship A Car and the character of their associates, Ship A Car and Joseph deserve 5 Stars and beyond. Needless to say, I am a very satisfied customer.

Thank you so much for your help in transporting my car from Seattle to Virginia. Everything went great! Your arrangements were fantastic! Very seamless and easy. I got the car within three days and the drivers were super about getting the car picked-up from my sister (they had to call her a few times) and then the drop-off was perfect. They told me when and where and were on-time too. THANK YOU!!! I have already recommended your company to my friends and I hope they will call you.

Cody did a great job getting me my Road King quickly. He was professional and attentive. My profession doesn't allow me to answer my phone so he provided me with his cell phone number so we could communicate via text. He kept in contact with me through the entire process and made sure I was satisfied. I would recommend him to anyone looking to ship anything. If I had to rate him between 1-10 I would give him an 11!! Way to go Cody!! Thank you for the exceptional service!!

I was searching for an Auto Transport company to ship my son's car from Lake Forest, IL to San Diego, CA. He is a Marine and stationed there. From start to finish Ship A Car worked with me to quote a very competitive price. They were very patient as I changed the drop off date a few times because it is very difficult to predict my son's schedule. He was beginning his new MOS with the Marines and he had not received his orders for his shift. I changed the drop off again, from Thursday to Friday when he mentioned that Thursdays he had specific duties and would not be able to leave the base to get his car. It was complicated because for obvious reasons, the delivery truck can't simply drive onto the US Military base. So, my son asked if they could drop the car off at a nearby Target close to the base and provided the address and a date and time that he would be allowed to leave the base. Ship A Car worked with me through all of these logistics. They picked up the car when they agreed and dropped it off as agreed, in perfect condition. My Son, thought this was a better deal than buying a new car at this point. My understanding is that the Marines on the base need some form of transportation. And although my son needed a car, he didn't feel he needed to purchase a brand new car at this time. I can't say enough about the wonderful and patient customer service for Ship A Car. Sam Ladin, the main customer service agent with whom I spoke most frequently, was so awesome! He even called me one evening - after I sent an email changing the drop off logistics - yet again - from his cell phone. He was home having dinner and stopped to deal with my issues! The drivers, Jesus and Saul were extremely professional and courteous as well! I give this company an A+!!!! My son called me and asked me for the contact details of Ship A Car because one of his Marine mates said he would like to do the same thing--ship his car from his home base; also in IL -- to California. Thank you again Sam and Ship A Car for all you did for my son, my marine, and our military men and women!

The rep I worked with, Lawrence Knapp was very knowledgeable, helpful and customer service oriented. He answered all my questions, and went the extra mile to save me some money. I feel our car is in good hands. I liked the tips on how to get your car ready for shipment. Lawrence communicated well through phone, text and email. He walked me through the process of signing documents so that went smoothly. He was easygoing and friendly too! I recommend Ship A Car, Inc. I got two other comparable estimates and because of Lawrence, I went with Ship A Car. A friend referred us, as she had a good experience too.

I was having a car shipped from Houston to Tennessee and I had many concerns about this adventure. However, after speaking with Lawrence and then him walking me through every step. I had the best experience possible. He did everything that he said that he would and went over and beyond my expectations. The driver Leon was just as good and provided peace of mind all the way. I schedule my car to be picked up on a Monday.. when I actually made the final call to Lawrence.. he stated "how about if I try to get a driver to pick up on Saturday"? I said yes of course, short story Lawrence called back with a pick-up date on Saturday and delivery on Monday. Then Leon called and asked if a Sunday delivery would be okay?? Wow, I could not have asked for anything better than this experience. Yes, I would use this company again without a doubt.

After being contacted my at least 20 shipping companies, I almost gave up! Then by the grace if God I contacted Ship a car and I spoke with Bob M., he is the best!! He said he'd call me back in 15 mins, I don't even think it was 15 mins, he called back and BOOM he coordinated it effortlessly!!! I can't believe how smooth the shipping was, I wish I started with Ship A Car, excellent service.I would HIGHLY recommend, the driver dropped the car a day early - what a plus!

Cameron provided excellent service. He was always reachable by phone. My family shipped 3 cars from Florida to Massachusetts. The 2 drivers were also easily reachable and treated us with great concern and respect. These guys were exception. We had moved to Florida in June and used another carrier which was a fiasco. Lost my job and moved back to MA and once again, if you need someone you can trust, use "Ship a Car" and ask for Cameron.

Called several different transport companies. This was the most professional, friendly and attentive of them all. Yvonne Bowrosen kept her word on everything except delivery timeline. She said 4 days and it was delivered in. You can't ask for better service and won't find it. Best price and great service all around. The driver was outstanding and took care of my new Honda Trike like it was his own. Thanks Yvonne and Kevin for making this a no brainer!!

Riding my motorcycle cross-country from Florida, up to Jasper Canada, and down to California put a hurting on my hands. I was looking to cut out the San Francisco section of our trip and have the bike shipped to Carson City NV. I needed the bike there in two weeks; by the end of September. Two major shippers said they could not get the bike there until October. Then I had the good fortune of connecting with Ship a Car Inc. Steve Goodman handled my request and said they could do it. I was a bit nervous as Steve took a couple of days to arrange transport and call me. But he came through and got the bike transported quicker than I would have expected. Since we were already in San Francisco, I called the shop in Eureka CA where I had left the bike for pick-up. As Steve had said, the bike was transported in an enclosed truck. The shop told me the driver was very professional and took a long time to make sure my bike was loaded and secured properly. I then called the shop in Carson City where the bike was to be delivered. They told me the bike was already there, that the driver had taken great care of my bike, and that he seemed very professional. This was a very difficult time-frame to deal with. This was not a pre-scheduled transportation issue. It was a last-minute decision on my part. The location of the pick-up shop in Eureka CA was only an every two-week area for the two other shippers I had tried. Steve Goodman and Ship a Car Inc came through. They saved our vacation and I am grateful, extremely grateful for the professionalism displayed. I would use their service again. in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. When the vehicle will be ready for pick-up on your end, availability of our carriers and the routes they take are the factors that determine this. 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.
