Frequently asked questions

  • Can a carrier really pick up my car in Manhattan?

    Full-size 75-foot auto carriers can't legally or safely operate on most Manhattan streets. Your driver will text a meeting point — usually a parking lot in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, or NJ — typically within 10–20 minutes of your address.

  • Do you ship to NYC from out of state?

    Yes — inbound NYC is one of our highest-volume destinations. We deliver from every US metro including LA, SF, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, and Chicago.

  • How much does NYC to LA car shipping cost?

    Standard open transport runs $1,000–$1,400 cross-country. Enclosed is roughly $2,200–$3,500. Get a live AI quote in under a minute — pricing varies daily with carrier capacity.

  • Can I ship my car to or from an apartment in Brooklyn?

    Yes. Most Brooklyn neighborhoods have enough street width to load directly at the curb. Tighter blocks (parts of Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO) may require meeting at a nearby commercial street.
