Car Transport Frequenty Asked Questions

Q. How long does a car transport take?

A. Normal car transit time is usually within 8 to 10 business days and may vary upon actual route, assuming that at least 2 weeks prior notice of your shipment dates is given. A car transport generally appreciates a three-business day window to schedule the pick up/delivery of your vehicle(s). As your pick-up/delivery dates gets closer you will receive a confirmation call giving you a specific date and time frame. The transit time referenced above is based on standard car transport times and in certain cases transit times may take less time. For example, it only takes a truck 5 days to go from NYC to LA. If your vehicle(s) is the last car to load and the first one to unload, a shorter delivery time frame is possible, however if your car is the first to load and the last to come off, then your transit time will be closer to 2 weeks. Please keep this in mind when planning your car transport.

Q. What kind of Auto will it be transported on?

A. In most cases, your Auto(s) will be transported on an 8 or 10-car transport, the same type of trucks used to deliver new cars to your local dealerships. The car transport is 75 to 80 feet long (that's nearly twice as long as a conventional freight truck or moving van) and are almost 14 feet high. Therefore a car transport is very hard to maneuver and are restricted to main roads that do not have any overhanging trees or low clearance bridges. Please bear this in mind when directing the truck to your home or pick-up location. A local car transport service may be used should the hauler/transporter encounter difficulty in reaching your pick-up/delivery.

Q. What does door-to-door car transport delivery mean?

A. Car transport delivery means that the car transport will get as close as physically possible to your front door as long as it does not compromise the cargo and/or your vehicle(s). If you live on a main road (at least 2 lanes wide) with no overhanging trees or low bridges and the streets leading to your house can accommodate a car transport of that size and length, then the carrier will pick up your vehicle(s) from your door and deliver it to your door if the same conditions apply at your destination. As the car transport driver approaches your pick-up/delivery location, he will call you to confirm your address and discuss accessibility. If accessibility is limited the drive may suggest meeting at a local supermarket or mall with ample space for the car transport to load/unload your vehicle(s).
