Car Shipping San Diego: FAQs

What is the best time to schedule my transport?

Schedule your transport at least 2 to 3 weeks before the date you need it. You can schedule your shipment further in advance, so we can be sure to meet your time requirements. Those shipments that require expedited shipping can be accommodated. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to talk to you about your schedule for car transport.

Is someone required to be present during pick-up and delivery?

Yes, it is necessary to have someone present to release and accept the vehicle as well as give the driver the keys and sign the reports of the initial and final inspections. It can be anyone over 18 who you trust to release or accept your vehicle.

Can I pay the full transport cost with my credit card?

Yes, the full cost of transportation can be paid with a credit card. When making a reservation, you have the option of paying in full online or over the phone with a shipping agent, if you prefer. You have the choice to use a credit or debit card to conveniently make a one-time payment with this option. Additionally, you have the choice of making a credit card deposit and paying the remaining balance in cash when the order is delivered.

How can I track my vehicle during car transport in San Diego?

Once you schedule your shipment, you will receive a unique booking number that will allow you to track the status of your shipment online.

What if I don’t have a running vehicle?

We can ship non-running/inoperable vehicles. To transport an inoperable car, you need to use an auto carrier that uses a winch to pull your vehicle slowly and safely onto the carrier. Importable vehicles are subject to an additional fee due to the special equipment and extra effort it takes to load them onto the transporter. The online booking form puts an inoperable option on the list, or you can tell your shipping agent at the time of your phone reservation so that arrangements can be made to accommodate a non-running vehicle.

How much does it cost to ship a car from San Diego to Hawaii?
