How Shipping Works

Auto Shippings facilitates car shipping and auto transport through a streamlined three-step process!

Whether you need reliable shipping, professional car transport service, or secure vehicle transport, our experienced team is prepared to facilitate a streamlined process from start to finish.

Step 1

Get a Quote and Place Your Order

If you're looking to ship a car across the country or to another location, obtaining a quote is the first step in the shipping process. Reach out to us today for your free instant quote. You can use our online quote calculator, which takes only a few minutes. Alternatively, you can speak directly with our shipping advisors at +1 (571) 714-9696 or utilize Live Chat.

When you reach out to us about moving a vehicle, we'll request some basic information. You'll need to provide the pickup city and state, the delivery city and state, and the make, model, and year of the vehicle being transported. Additionally, please let us know whether the vehicle is running, your preferred car transport service, and the date it will be ready for pickup. In the auto transport industry, this is referred to as the First Available Pick-up Date. Our streamlined car shipping process ensures every detail is handled efficiently by one of the most trusted auto transport companies in the industry.

Step 2

We Pick Up Your Vehicle

Step #2 in the process of shipping your car is the vehicle pick-up. The carrier assigned to your shipment will contact you a few hours in advance to let you know they are on the way. You must confirm that commercial vehicles can access the pick-up location. Before they arrive, please check for any restrictions, such as overhead power lines or low-hanging branches, that might obstruct the carrier's truck and trailer.

Don't worry if there’s an issue, as you can easily find a more appropriate location. For instance, you might know of a nearby street where you can meet. A pick-up at your workplace or in a nearby parking lot could also be more convenient. Our auto transport specialists and nationwide carrier network work together to provide dependable vehicle shipping and a smooth car transport service from start to finish.

Step 3

You Pick Up Your Vehicle

Car shipping isn’t a lengthy or complicated process, and soon enough, the carrier will contact you to let you know they’re just a few hours away from the delivery location. This courtesy call gives you enough time to ensure you’re available to receive your vehicle. If you anticipate being busy, you can easily arrange for someone else to receive the auto on your behalf. You can designate a third party, as long as they are at least 18 years old. This person could be a coworker, neighbor, family member, or friend.

Once your vehicle is unloaded, the driver will ask you to inspect its condition and compare it to the Bill of Lading. If you selected the Discounted Price payment option, this is the time to provide the driver with the final payment. You can settle this amount in cash, with a money order, or by using a cashier’s check. At Auto Shippings, our commitment to safe shipping, reliable auto transport, and professional car transport service is what makes us stand out among leading auto transport companies, giving every customer confidence throughout the entire journey.
