Car Shipping Services Available in North Carolina
Open Auto Transport
Open transport is the most widely used and cost-effective method for shipping vehicles. Your
car rides on an exposed multi-car trailer alongside other vehicles. It's the same method used byautomakers to deliver new cars to dealerships, and it's perfectly safe for the vast majority of
vehicles shipped in North Carolina.
Enclosed Auto Transport
For high-value, classic, or custom vehicles, enclosed transport gives you a fully covered trailer
with maximum protection. If you're moving a luxury car from Charlotte's South Park area, a
collector vehicle from the Asheville area, or anything that requires extra care, enclosed is the
way to go.
Door-to-Door Car Shipping
We arrange pickup and delivery as close to your front door as the carrier can safely and legally
reach. In most North Carolina neighborhoods — from Dilworth to North Raleigh to suburban
Cary — this means your driveway or the street in front of your home.
Expedited Car Shipping
When you need faster service, our expedited option moves your pickup window up to 24–48
hours. Useful for job relocations with tight move-in dates, auction pickups, or any situation
where a standard 3–5 day pickup window doesn't work.
Motorcycle Shipping
We ship motorcycles to and from North Carolina using enclosed crating or soft-tie systems
depending on the bike. Whether it's a touring bike, a sport bike, or a vintage machine, we
handle it with the same care as any other vehicle.
Dealer and Auction Transport
We work with North Carolina dealerships to move inventory, coordinate auction pickups, and
handle out-of-state deliveries. If you're a dealer in Charlotte, Raleigh, or Greensboro and need a
consistent shipping partner, we're set up for that.

North Carolina Car Shipping Transit Times
These windows are estimates. Carrier scheduling, weather in mountain passes, and route
sequencing affect exact timing. We'll give you a realistic window at booking and keep you
updated.

Shipping a Car To or From Charlotte
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and one of the top auto transport markets in the
Southeast. I-85, I-77, and I-485 make it highly accessible for carriers moving in every direction.
Whether you're shipping to or from Uptown, South End, Ballantyne, or Huntersville, we can
usually arrange pickup within a few days.
Charlotte's strong banking and corporate sector drives year-round relocation demand. New
hires at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Duke Energy, and dozens of other companies ship
vehicles into Charlotte frequently. We handle those moves smoothly and on schedule.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Shipping from Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro, and Other NC Cities
The Research Triangle — Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill — is one of the fastest-growing
tech corridors in the country. Companies like Apple, Google, and dozens of biotech firms have
expanded here, bringing a constant wave of relocations. Carrier coverage in the Triangle is
strong, and pickup windows are typically comparable to Charlotte.
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Asheville all have serviceable carrier
coverage. Pickup may take an extra day or two for the mountains in the west or the coastal
areas near Wilmington. Fort Bragg near Fayetteville is one of the largest military installations in
the world and generates significant PCS shipping demand — we handle that too.
- Nexgen Auto Transport
Preparing Your Car for Shipping
• Wash the car so scratches and dents are easy to identify and document
• Take photos from all four sides before the carrier arrives
• Remove all personal belongings from inside the car and the trunk
• Leave about a quarter tank of fuel — enough to drive on and off the carrier
• Disable toll transponders like E-ZPass or QuickPass to avoid charges
• Confirm the car starts and drives, or let us know in advance if it doesn’t
• Retract mirrors and antennas where possible
• Review and sign the Bill of Lading at pickup, noting any pre-existing damage

Who Ships Cars to and from North Carolina?
College Students
Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State, Wake Forest, and Davidson College all draw out-
of-state students. Shipping a car to campus saves a long drive from the Midwest, Northeast, or
West Coast.
Military Families
Fort Bragg is one of the largest military bases in the US and generates significant vehicle
shipping demand. We work with military families relocating to and from North Carolina bases
across the country.
Corporate and Tech Relocations
Charlotte's financial industry and the Research Triangle's tech and pharma sectors bring
employees in from across the country. Shipping the car is often part of a relocation package or
simply more practical than driving cross-country during a move.
Retirees and Second-Home Buyers
The Asheville area and North Carolina coast attract retirees from the Northeast and Midwest.
Whether you're moving permanently or setting up a second home, we ship your vehicle so you
don't have to drive it down.
Snowbirds Heading South
North Carolina's mild coastal winters attract seasonal residents. We regularly ship vehicles from
Northeastern states down to the coast and back again in the spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from North Carolina?
Rates typically start around $350 for short Southeast hauls and go up to $1,350 for coast-to-
coast moves. The exact price depends on your route, vehicle type, and transport method. Call
(832) 886-1321 for your quote.
How long does car shipping take to or from North Carolina?
Regional shipments take 1–2 days. Cross-country moves to the West Coast take 6–8 days. We
give you a realistic window at booking and keep you updated throughout.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. All carriers in our network carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA. We
recommend documenting your car's condition with photos before pickup.
Do I need to be present at pickup and delivery?
Yes, you or a designated contact must be present to sign the Bill of Lading at both ends. This
document records the vehicle's condition and protects both parties.
Can you ship a non-running car from Alabama?
Yes, but please tell us upfront. Non-running vehicles require special loading equipment and may
cost a bit more.
What's the difference between open and enclosed transport?
Open transport uses an exposed carrier — affordable and standard for most vehicles. Enclosed
uses a covered trailer, ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value cars. We offer both.
Can I put personal items in the car during shipping?
Carriers aren't liable for personal belongings, and some won't allow them. We recommend
removing everything before shipping.
How far in advance should I book?
One to two weeks is ideal. We can handle shorter notice with our expedited option, but advance
booking gives you better rates and more carrier choices.
Do you handle Fort Bragg PCS shipments?
Yes. We work with military families relocating to and from Fort Bragg regularly and understand
the pace and requirements of PCS moves.
What happens if my car arrives damaged?
Document any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery. The carrier's insurance
covers transport-related damage. NexGen helps guide you through the claims process.
Do you service Asheville, Wilmington, and smaller NC cities?
Yes. We cover all of North Carolina. Pickup in mountain or coastal areas may take an extra day
or two, but we arrange service statewide.
Can dealerships use NexGen for regular inventory moves?
Yes. We work with NC dealerships on a regular basis and can set up volume pricing and
dedicated logistics. Contact us to discuss your needs.
What's the cheapest way to ship a car from North Carolina?
Open transport with flexible pickup dates gives you the lowest rate. Avoiding peak summer and
holiday periods also helps.
Is NexGen licensed to ship in North Carolina?
Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB
Accredited with an A+ rating.
