Car transport, also known as auto transport, refers to the service of shipping vehicles from one location to another. It is commonly used for long-distance moves, online vehicle purchases, and by car dealerships.

Car transport companies use open or enclosed trailers to transport vehicles. After booking the service, the company will arrange for pickup, securely load the vehicle onto the trailer, and transport it to the specified destination, providing tracking and updates along the way.

Car transport companies can typically transport various vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and even non-running or oversized vehicles. They have the equipment and expertise to handle a wide range of vehicle transportation needs.

When choosing a car transport company, consider their reputation, licensing, insurance coverage, delivery timeframes, pricing, and customer reviews. Ensure they have experience in transporting the type of vehicle you need to ship and can provide door-to-door service.

The cost of car transport depends on factors such as the distance, vehicle type, transport method (open or enclosed), delivery timeframe, seasonal demand, and any additional services like expedited shipping or top-load placement on the carrier.

Most car transport companies provide insurance coverage for vehicles during transport. It's important to review the insurance policy and understand the coverage limits and any deductibles. Additionally, check if your own insurance may provide coverage during transport.
