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.

How the Car Shipping Process Works in Charlotte

We stay in touch throughout. Call us any time if your plans change or you need an update.

Call (832) 886-1321 or request online. Tell us your specific area, destination, vehicle type, and preferred dates.

We confirm your order and match your vehicle to a carrier already running your route.

The driver arrives, walks the car with you to complete the Bill of Lading, and loads it.

Your car arrives at the destination. You inspect it, sign off, and you're done.

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.

Preparing Your Car for Shipping in Charlotte

• Wash the car so existing scratches and dings are easy to document
• Take photos of all four sides of the vehicle before the driver arrives
• Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel
• Disable any toll transponders to avoid charges during transport
• Confirm the car starts and runs, or let us know in advance if it doesn't
• Fold in side mirrors and retract antennas where possible
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading carefully, noting any pre-existing damage
