★★★★★My husband asked me to look into shipping our cars. We were getting ready to move to Florida and we wanted to ship one car first, so that we had a car when we arrived.

★★★★★I work for a high-end car dealer and we have been using Trans National Carrier for some time now. Every time we ship a car we get quotes from a few different companies.

★★★★★This review is long overdue and this company is a lifesaver.
Car shipping, arranged for you from pickup to delivery
Finding a car shipping company can feel like a maze of quote sites and phone calls. Trans National Carrier cuts that down. Tell us where the car is and where it needs to go, and we arrange a carrier to move it. The carrier that picks up your car is a separate company, and we are the one you call if anything needs sorting out.
We keep the process easy to follow. You see the quote before you agree to anything, and you can call (800) 315-2261 when you have a question. Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans and motorcycles all ship the same way: ask for a quote, pick a date, and we line up the carrier. Read more on how we work.

Open carrier transport
If this is your first time shipping a car, open carrier transport is the place to start. Your car rides on a multi-car trailer, the same way new cars travel to a dealer, and it is the most common choice for everyday vehicles.
More carriers run open trailers, so pickup is usually easier to schedule and the price is generally lower than enclosed. We handle personal cars, dealer inventory and moves for relocation.

Enclosed carrier transport
Enclosed transport puts your car inside a covered trailer, away from weather and road debris. People pick it for classic, exotic, newly restored or very low cars.
Fewer carriers run enclosed trailers, so give yourself a little more lead time. Tell us about the car and we will quote enclosed alongside open so you can compare.

Motorcycle shipping
Shipping a motorcycle? Tell us the make, the model and the route. We arrange a carrier that moves bikes and send you a quote.
Moving one bike or several, for yourself or for a dealership, the steps are the same. Call us if you want to talk through how the bike should be prepared for pickup.

Door-to-door service
Door-to-door means the carrier gets as close to your pickup and delivery address as a truck can safely go. Where a street is too tight for a big rig, we agree on a nearby spot such as a parking lot. See what it means in practice.
Car shipping quotes
Ask for a quote and we price your route from the ZIP codes, the vehicle and the transport type you choose. There is no charge for asking and you do not need to register. Read how a quote is built.
Ask about insurance coverage
Before you book, ask us how coverage works for your move and we will walk you through it, so there are no surprises at pickup.
Ship your car now
Tell us the route and the first day the car can ship. We line up a carrier and confirm the pickup plan with you. Shipping to or from Hawaii or Alaska takes extra steps, so read this first.
We ship all kinds of vehicles
Sedans, SUVs, pickups, vans, classics and motorcycles all go through the same simple process. If you are shipping for the first time, start with the first-time shipping guide or the common questions.
Car shipping 101: how to ship your car
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form with the route and the car, or call (800) 315-2261. Asking costs nothing.
Are you the company that moves my car?
No. We arrange the carrier. The carrier is a separate company that picks up and delivers your car.
Open or enclosed?
Open is the common choice and usually costs less. Enclosed covers the car for the whole trip. Ask us to quote both.
How long does pickup take to set up?
It depends on the route, the season and how flexible your dates are. We give you a pickup window, not an exact hour.
What can I leave in the car?
Keep it empty except for the usual spare tire and tools. Carriers set limits on personal items. Ask before you load anything.
What if my car does not run?
Say so when you ask for a quote. It needs extra equipment to load, and that affects the quote.
Do I need to be there at pickup and delivery?
You or someone you trust should be, to check the car against the condition report and sign.
Do you ship motorcycles?
Yes. See the motorcycle page.
