Common Vehicle Shipping Questions – Answered
How much does it cost to ship a car from San Diego to the East Coast? Costs vary based on vehicle size, transport type, and season. Contact us for a personalized quote. Generally, coast-to-coast transport is competitively priced.
How long does transport take? Cross-country shipments typically take 7-10 days. West Coast regional moves are faster. We provide estimated windows upfront.
Is my vehicle insured during transport? Yes. All carriers in our network carry cargo insurance. We recommend reviewing coverage details before shipping.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery? Yes, someone should be available to inspect the vehicle and sign the bill of lading at both ends.
Can I ship personal items inside my car? Generally no. Most carriers prohibit household goods due to insurance and liability regulations. Check with your coordinator for exceptions.
How do I prepare my car for shipping? Remove personal items, disable alarms, note existing damage, ensure fluid levels are appropriate, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel.
Do you ship vehicles to Hawaii or Alaska? Yes. We coordinate container shipping and Ro-Ro service to both Hawaii and Alaska, as well as international destinations.
We provide honest, clear answers to every question. No pressure, no confusion.
