No, you don't have to be present for the car shipping pick-up and delivery of your vehicle. You can appoint a representative who is at least 18 years old to handle this on your behalf.
They will need to provide the keys and complete the Bill of Lading with the carrier. This representative can be a family member, friend, or anyone you trust. Make sure they have all the necessary details about the shipment, including the WeShipCars phone number which is: (708) 300-0063. Regardless of who is present at the release or receipt of the vehicle the inspection process doesn't change.
