Ship your car with multi-car shipping in 7 steps
From comparing estimates to signing for your car at delivery.
List every vehicle
Add your route and each vehicle's year, make, model and whether it runs.
Your part: Include motorcycles, trailers or anything else going on the truck.
Compare companies
Compare total and per-car prices, reviews and whether one truck can take every vehicle.
Your part: Ask if all cars will travel together or be split across trucks.
Book one shipment
Get the total price, per-car breakdown, pickup window and cancellation terms in writing.
Your part: Check the terms if one vehicle is removed from the order.
Carrier assigned
The broker or carrier confirms a truck with room for all your vehicles.
Your part: Ask for the carrier's name and insurance certificate.
Inspect each vehicle
The driver inspects and records every car on the Bill of Lading before loading.
Your part: Photograph each car separately and check every entry.
In transit
The truck follows its route with other stops. Drivers can drive up to 11 hours a day under federal rules.
Your part: Keep your phone on for updates.
Delivery and payment
Inspect each vehicle against its pickup report, note any damage, then pay as agreed.
Your part: Don't sign until you've checked every car.
Rules that protect you
Federal requirements every licensed company must follow.
Brokers must be bonded
Auto transport brokers need FMCSA broker authority and $75,000 in financial security, usually a BMC-84 surety bond or a BMC-85 trust fund.
Source: 49 CFR 387.307Carriers must carry liability insurance
Most for-hire interstate carriers must file at least $750,000 in liability coverage with the FMCSA. Cargo coverage for the cars on the truck is set by the carrier, so ask for the certificate.
Source: 49 CFR 387.9Drivers have daily driving limits
Truck drivers may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, which is why long routes are measured in days, not hours.
