Car Shipping for a Household Move

Moving? Ship your car separately from your move.

Moving trucks are not built to carry a car, and driving it yourself adds days and mileage you may not want on it. We arrange door-to-door pickup at your old address and delivery to your new one, on an open carrier through a vetted carrier, with one confirmed price before you pay.

How this fits around a move

Tell us your move date and how flexible your pickup and delivery windows are. A wider window, a few days on either side rather than one exact date, usually gives the carrier more room to fit your vehicle into an existing route. If you are moving out before your new address is ready, we can also discuss a delivery window that starts once you confirm you are ready to receive the car.

What we need from you

  1. Old address (pickup) and new address (delivery).
  2. Vehicle year, make and model, and whether it currently runs.
  3. Your move date and how much flexibility you have on either end.
  4. Whether anyone will be present at both addresses, or whether a neighbor, agent, or new occupant will handle access.
  5. Contact details, so we can confirm the price and the carrier.

More than one vehicle

Each vehicle is its own shipment and its own confirmed price. Tell us if you are shipping more than one car from the same move, and we will treat them as separate requests that we try to coordinate on timing.

What we do not arrange

We do not move household goods, and we do not coordinate with a moving company's schedule beyond the dates you give us. If your vehicle does not run, that is a separate request; we do not price inoperable shipments online today.

Questions

  • Can pickup and delivery happen on different days than my movers? Yes, they are separate shipments; give us the dates and windows that work for the car specifically.
  • What if I do not have a new address yet on pickup day? Tell us; a wider or to-be-confirmed delivery window can sometimes be arranged, though this depends on the carrier.
  • Does shipping the car cost less than driving it myself? We do not make that comparison for you; our price is confirmed for your shipment, and mileage, fuel, wear, and your own time are yours to weigh separately.

Why book this way

  • Your price online in minutes. No callback, no estimate visit, no waiting for someone to get back to you.
  • One all-in price before any contact. The national auto-transport brokers we read show quote-request forms or calculator fields, not a posted price, before you submit your trip details (montway.com, roadrunnerautotransport.com, read 2026-09-21).
  • One point of contact from your request to the finished delivery. We work with a vetted carrier and answer for the result.
  • You pay only after the price and your booking are confirmed.
