How do you find professional vehicle relocation services?
Finding professional vehicle relocation services requires research. You can start by searching for car relocation companies online and checking their reviews. Another option is to ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations. Check the credentials of any companies you consider and request multiple quotes.
You should ensure that the companies you work with are licensed and insured. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website allows you to verify a company’s credentials.
Once you’ve got multiple quotes, compare their prices, services, and the specifics of what each quote includes. At the same time, look for customer reviews and testimonials. Pay close attention to feedback about reliability, customer service, and how they handle any issues that arise.
Something else to check is the company’s insurance coverage. Confirm what they provide for your vehicle during transport and ensure it’s adequate for your needs.
One final check is experience. Look for companies with experience and expertise in handling your type of vehicle, whether a standard, luxury, or inoperable vehicle..

step 1
Get a free, instant quote and book your order
Start the car relocation process by getting a car shipping quote. You can use our free instant auto transport cost calculator or speak directly with our car shipping experts by phone or live chat for a more personalized quote.
Our online quote calculator is the quickest and easiest method. You provide a few basic details and receive your quote in seconds. Enter your pick-up and delivery city or ZIP code, the year, make, and model of your vehicle, its condition, how many cars you want to ship, and the type of transport you wish to book.
You’ll also need to let us know the date when your car is ready for transport. This is known as the First Available Pick-Up Date in the auto transport industry.
We’ll also need personal details, but only your email address and telephone number. We use the email address to send a copy of your quote, while we use the phone number to verify that you’re an authentic user.
The quote you receive is all-inclusive. There is nothing else to pay and no hidden charges. At this point, you’re under no obligation to complete the process and make your booking.
Your quote is valid for 14 days, but if you decide to book later, we can recalculate the cost without needing you to input your details again. Our quote system records all your information and keeps it safe.
We offer a price match promise if you’re unhappy with the price. Contact us immediately; we’d appreciate the opportunity to match a direct competitor's price.
When you’re ready to make your booking, the link in your quote email takes you directly to a page where you can complete your booking. Alternatively, you can book your automobile relocation services directly by calling (708) 300-0063 or using live chat. At this point in the process, we require $0 upfront payments.
If you change your mind or circumstances, let us know immediately. Cancellation is free before we schedule your shipment. If we’ve already assigned a carrier, we’ll keep any charged amount up to $199 and refund the difference.
We have a vast network of fully insured and vetted carriers, and we select the most suitable one for your requirements. Once a carrier is assigned, we contact you to explain the next steps and provide the carrier’s details.
Upon confirming all your shipment details, you can choose from two payment options: cash on delivery (COD), credit/debit card payment, or Zelle payment in full at the time of booking.
step 2
We pick up your vehicle
The carrier contacts you the day before the scheduled pick-up time and again a few hours before their arrival. This confirmation is essential to ensure someone is available to release the car. If you can’t be present, you may nominate someone to act on your behalf; however, the nominee must be at least 18 years old.
The carrier also confirms the pick-up location and ensures it is accessible for large trucks and trailers. If there are parking or access restrictions, low-hanging trees, or overhead powerlines, you can discuss a more suitable location nearby with the driver. You can arrange to meet the driver at a parking lot, your workplace, or on a wider street.
When the carrier arrives, you and the driver thoroughly inspect your vehicle. You must note any existing damage, such as dents, dings, scratches, or chips, on the Bill of Lading (BOL), which can be a paper document or an app used by carriers.
Once you’ve completed all the documentation, you hand over the keys and bid farewell to your vehicle. Rest assured, you’ll be reunited with your vehicle in a few days.
You can stay updated by contacting our car shipping experts, the carrier, or the driver for regular updates via phone, live chat, or email.
step 3
We deliver your vehicle
The carrier calls you again to inform you that their arrival is imminent. You can expect a call the day before and a few hours before the delivery. They confirm your availability to receive the vehicle and the safety and legality of the delivery location.
If you can’t receive the vehicle, you can nominate someone to act on your behalf. This person can be a neighbor, relative, friend, or work colleague if they are over 18.
Upon arrival, inspect the vehicle closely with the driver and compare it with the original Bill of Lading (BOL). Then, sign the BOL to accept delivery and make the necessary payment.
