Whether you sell your car online or need to relocate your vehicle during a move, you’ll need a dependable auto shipping company. As you set up vehicle transportation, you may understandably have questions about everything from rates to estimated timelines. Here are a handful of helpful answers to guide you through the process.

Common Questions About Auto Shipping

How should I prepare my vehicle?

It’s important that any vehicles you ship have enough fuel in the tank to drive them on and off the carrier. Make sure they have about a quarter of a tank of gas. Clean and inspect each automobile in the unlikely event of damage, and remove any valuables.

How does the carrier company prevent damage?

Auto shipping professionals look at each vehicle before transporting it, making detailed notes of any scratches and dents. If your vehicle incurs any damage during transport, they will accept responsibility for the repairs. To prevent any issues, they’ll securely tie down and cover your vehicle and evenly distribute weight across the carrier to promote safe shipping.

What size vehicles can I ship?

As a general rule, you should have no problem shipping most cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Vehicles must be fewer than 84 inches tall, 260 inches long, and weigh under three-fourths of a ton. You may have to pay additional fees for oversized and overweight vehicles. 

How long does it take?

Most vehicles take about 10 days to reach their destination. If you need your cars and trucks delivered faster, request six-day expedited auto shipping, but be aware that it typically costs extra.
