How Car Transport Works

01

Compare Best Companies Rates
Start Shipping Your Car

Naturally, the first thing you need to know when preparing to transport a car is how much it will cost. Requesting a quote at GetCarrier is the easiest way to find out the rate.
We'll give you shipping quotes from reputable US shipping companies, and you can decide which is best for you. You only need to enter the pick up and delivery zip codes, the year, make, and model of the vehicle, as well as your name, phone number, and email, to request car shipping quotes.

Do you ship non-running cars?

Details arrow
Yes, we collaborate with a large number of carriers who are experts in moving inoperable cars. You can receive shipping costs for non-running autos by simply marking your vehicle as inoperable on the quote form. Then describe the issue to your shipping agent so that the company may send you car carrier with the required equipment.

Can I ship some items inside my vehicle?

Details arrow
It depends on the carrier. Some carriers can allow you to put some items in the trunk or in the backseat below window level (not more than 200 lbs). To prevent damage to the vehicle, we advise you to pack the items securely and in a proper manner. The carrier's insurance will not protect it if it is damaged by your personal belongings.

02

Prepare Your Car & Provide It
To A Driver

After you book the shipping and negotiate the pick up day and time with the driver, you need to get your car ready for transportation. First of all make sure there are no personal items inside the car (unless you plan to ship them), remove all passes, tags, and plates, and clean your vehicle, so the driver could see any pre-existing damages and note them down in the Bill Of Lading.

Can I ship a bike and a car on the same trailer?

Details arrow
Unfortunately, it's not always practical to transport a bike alongside a car because standard double-deck car carriers are made to fit precisely the same-sized four-wheel vehicles. The bike, however, can be placed in a special shipping crate and transported on the same trailer as your automobile if it is being transported in an enclosed trailer or on a flatbed.

Can I track my car while it’s in transit?

Details arrow
Unfortunately, carriers rarely provide this option because it would increase the cost of delivery and not everyone would be willing to pay an extra fee. However, your shipping agent can quickly get in touch with the carrier and inform you with the location of your vehicle.

03

Receive Your Car Safe & Sound

When the driver is about to deliver your car, he will call you to negotiate the exact time. Pay him the remaining balance when he arrives and loads the car off the trailer (in case you haven't paid it before). Also, make sure to inspect the vehicle for any additional damages. We also advise you to leave the shipping company a review, as customer feedback is always useful for other customers in selecting the best auto shipping company, and every shipping agent would be delighted to hear a few kind words about the job he did.

How can I pay for shipping?

Details arrow
A partial deposit is typically charged from your card once you book the shipment or your car, and the remaining balance is paid upon drop-off using cash, a money order, a cashier's check, or a company check. Additionally, some drivers might take Paypal or Zelle.

What if my car was damaged?

Details arrow
If you discover any more damages after the vehicle has been delivered, make a note of them in the bill of lading and take pictures. The shipping agent will next assist you in filing a claim with the carrier's insurance company.
