Ship your car with certainty.

Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, transport type (open or enclosed), and current lane demand. Quotes are real-time and upfront — no hidden fees. The price includes transport, the carrier's cargo coverage, and digital documentation.

No. The price in your quote is the price you pay, unless you request changes such as enclosed transport, expedited timing, or a location adjustment.

Three to seven days before your desired pickup date is typical. During peak seasons, earlier booking improves scheduling flexibility.

Open transport is the most common and cost-effective option. Enclosed transport adds weather and road-debris protection — often chosen for luxury, classic, or specialty vehicles.

Carpool coordinates the entire process from quote to pickup to final delivery. Once your shipment is confirmed, we schedule pickup, assign a vetted carrier, and manage the move end-to-end. You'll receive text updates throughout transit and delivery coordination before arrival.

Delivery time depends on distance and route demand. Typical transit times range from 1–2 days for shorter moves to 7–9 days for cross-country shipments. We provide estimated windows upfront and update you if conditions change.

Yes, as long as the location is safely accessible for a car carrier. If your street can't accommodate the truck, we'll coordinate a nearby meeting location.

Yes. You or a designated representative must be present to release and receive the vehicle, review the inspection, and sign the documentation.

Yes. Every carrier on our platform is required to maintain cargo liability insurance, and coverage is verified continuously. Carriers typically carry up to $500,000 in cargo coverage.

Remove personal belongings, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, ensure the vehicle is operable (unless noted otherwise), and document any existing damage for your records.

We recommend shipping the vehicle empty. Personal items aren't covered by carrier cargo insurance, can shift and cause damage in transit, and can put the load over weight limits. If something must stay in the vehicle, keep it minimal, secured, and out of sight — and know it travels at your own risk.

A Vehicle Condition Report documents the exterior condition of your vehicle at pickup and delivery using photos and notes. It protects both you and the carrier by clearly recording condition before transit — the foundation of chain of custody.

In the rare event of damage, Carpool manages the claims process. You won't need to negotiate with the carrier or insurer directly — we handle documentation and resolution on your behalf.
