Charlotte Car Shipping Services
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the standard, most affordable way to ship a vehicle. Your car rides on an
exposed multi-car carrier alongside other vehicles. With Charlotte's position on I-77 and I-85,
open transport here is well-served and competitively priced.
Enclosed Auto Transport
For luxury vehicles, classics, or anything high-value coming out of Myers Park, SouthPark, or
the broader metro, enclosed transport offers a fully covered trailer with complete protection.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We pick up and deliver at your address in most Charlotte-area locations. Ballantyne, University
City, Concord, and the broader metro are all generally accessible for standard carriers given the
suburban layout common throughout the region.
Expedited Car Shipping
Need fast service? Our expedited option moves pickup to within 24 to 48 hours. Useful for
finance industry job deadlines or last-minute relocations.
Classic and Collector Car Shipping
Charlotte's NASCAR heritage has produced a strong motorsports and collector car culture. We
ship vintage and high-value vehicles using enclosed transport with careful handling.

Shipping a Car In and Around Charlotte
Charlotte, Ballantyne, University City, Concord, and the broader metro all have suburban-style
layouts that make carrier access straightforward in most neighborhoods. Uptown Charlotte,
while more urban, still offers reasonable carrier access compared to denser cities.

Shipping from Surrounding North Carolina and South Carolina Areas
Concord and the area north of Charlotte, home to much of the region's motorsports industry,
have good access via I-85. Rock Hill, just across the South Carolina border, benefits from the
same regional interstate access.
