“By far, the representatives I worked with from TGAL on both sides of the ocean were wonderful. The quote included all of the details that other companies “left out” or tried to hide. I really appreciate the transparency.”

A Wide Range of Transportation Methods
Open Car
Carrier
The most popular and economic method of auto transport is on an open car carrier. This is an open, two level trailer and depending on its size can load 8 – 10 small sized passenger vehicles.
Most vehicles can be transported on an open car carrier with no problem. In fact, most all new car dealerships and new car manufacturer’s moves are accomplished on an open car carrier.
The negative effects in regards to an open carrier is that the vehicle is not protected from the weather elements or possible road debris.
Price quotes given are normally based on open car carrier services unless otherwise stated. If you would like a rate to transport your vehicle via an enclosed car carrier, please let us know.
Enclosed Car
Carrier
Enclosed carrier services are more costly, however, are highly recommended for the transport of high value vehicles, classic autos, antiques, newly restored, specially equipped and vehicles with low spoilers and/or ground effects.
Enclosed carrier transport ensures that your vehicle is provided the optimal level of security and protection from the elements and road debris. For standard size vehicles, you can pay up to 35% more but if piece of mind is what you’re after, it’s well worth it.
Flatbed &
Lowboy
Flatbed & Lowboy equipment are a must for high & heavy cargo loads. Flatbed freight comes in all shapes and sizes and over dimensional and overweight loads are not a problem.
With our network of High & Heavy Carrier’s we can provide the right equipment needed to transport your cargo at the time needed and at the right price!
Transcar will tender your load to a qualified carrier that meet hauling requirements and will arrange permits and escort services when required.
Enclosed carrier services are more costly, however, are highly recommended for the transport of high value vehicles, classic autos, antiques, newly restored, specially equipped and vehicles with low spoilers and/or ground effects.

We recommend booking at least two weeks before your desired pickup date. Due to market fluctuations, we accept orders up to 30 days in advance.
Do I need to drop off or pick up my vehicle anywhere?
No, Transcar offers door-to-door service. The driver will pick up and deliver your vehicle as close to your specified addresses as safely and legally possible. In some cases, due to restrictions, you may need to meet the driver at a nearby location.
Can I change my first available shipping date?
Yes, you can change your first available shipping date before your vehicle has been dispatched to a carrier.
How should I prepare my car for shipment?
- Clean your vehicle to allow for a thorough inspection.
- Remove personal items, especially valuables.
- Disable alarms and remove toll tags.
- Ensure only a quarter tank of gas is in the vehicle.
- Check for leaks and mechanical issues.
- Secure or remove loose parts like antennas or spoilers.
Can you guarantee a pickup or delivery date and time?
While we strive to meet your scheduling needs, guaranteeing exact pickup or delivery dates is not possible. We require a 5 business day pick up window.
We do offer expedited shipping options for guaranteed pickup dates. Please contact us at 682-252-4654 for a customized quote.
How will I know my pickup date and time?
Once a driver is assigned to your shipment, we’ll notify you via email with the estimated pickup date and the driver’s contact information. The driver will also reach out to you in advance to confirm details.
Do I need to be present at pickup or delivery?
Yes, you or an authorized representative (over 18 years old) must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading.
How much gas should I leave in my car?
We recommend leaving between 1/8 and 1/4 tank of fuel. This is sufficient for loading and unloading.
Do I need a vehicle title or registration to ship it?
For trucking only shipments: No, only the vehicle and keys are required. However, ensure the person releasing and receiving the vehicle has proper authorization.
For ocean shipments: Yes, depending on where it’s going, we will need these. Please consult with our sales representative for exact documents required.
Can I get a quote if I don't know the exact address?
Yes, providing the city or zip code is sufficient for an accurate quote. Exact addresses can be updated later.
Do I need license plates on a vehicle to ship it?
No, license plates are not required for transport and in fact, we prefer you remove them to avoid being charged any tolls during the transport.
How do I pay for my vehicle transport?
We offer flexible payment options:
- Full Credit Card Payment: You can pay the entire transport cost upfront using a credit or debit card.
- Other Payment Options: ACH, Wire Transfer, or any other electronic transfer.
- Please note we do not accept personal checks
Can I pay the full amount with a credit card?
Absolutely. If you prefer the convenience of a one-time payment, you can pay the full transport cost using a credit or debit card at the time of booking.
Do I need to pay the driver upon delivery?
No. Transcar likes to keep things simple for our customers. You’ll make a single payment to Transcar when you book your shipment. Transcar will then take care of paying the truck driver for their services. If a truck driver ever request payment from you, please call Transcar and we’ll address this with the Driver.
Can I ship personal items in my car?
No, Personal items are not allowed to be left in the vehicle. Seats must remain upright. Be aware that carriers have restrictions, and unauthorized items may lead to additional fees or refusal of shipment.
Auto carriers are not licensed to carry household goods or personal items, therefore it is not recommended to leave items of that nature in your vehicle. Factory issued equipment and aftermarket items permanently installed are allowed to be left with the vehicle and will be noted accordingly on the truck bill of lading. If you do leave items in the trunk of your vehicle such as pillows, blankets, etc., the cargo insurance liability or driver will not accept any liability in case of loss or damage. Therefore, it is not recommended to leave anything in your vehicle other than standard factory issued equipment and accessories.
Are personal items in my car insured?
No, personal belongings inside your vehicle are not covered by the carrier’s insurance. Neither Transcar nor the carrier is liable for any personal items left in the vehicle during transport.
What if my personal items damage my car during transport?
Any damage to your vehicle’s interior caused by personal items is not covered by the carrier’s insurance. Personal items can shift during transit, potentially causing damage, so pack carefully.
Does my vehicle need to be insured to be shipped?
While it’s recommended, your vehicle doesn’t need to be insured for shipping. During trucking, your vehicle is covered by the carrier’s cargo and liability insurance policies up to $100,000. However, Cargo liability insurance, does not cover Acts of God, such as hail, tornados, hurricanes, etc., and therefore it is recommended that you maintain coverage on your vehicle that would cover damage occurring due to an Act of God.
For Overseas shipments such as for Hawaii and Guam, we strongly suggest you take out Marine Insurance Coverage because your vehicle does not have any coverage. Transcar offers Marine Insurance so if you’re interested in this coverage, please contact your sales representative.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
- Land Shipments: Yes, your vehicle is covered by the carrier’s Trucking Cargo Insurance policy, typically up to $100,000, subject to certain limitations and exclusions.
- Ocean Shipments: No, your vehicle is not insured. Transcar does offer Marine Insurance which is a All Risk policy. Please contact your sales representative for details.
How is the value of my car determined for insurance purposes?
The value is based on the actual cash value of your vehicle at the time of transport.
What should I do if my car is damaged during transport?
- Inspect your vehicle thoroughly upon delivery.
- Note any damages on the Bill of Lading/Vehicle Condition Report.
- Obtain a copy of the signed Bill of Lading from the driver.
- Take photographs of the damage.
- Contact Transcar to request the carrier’s Certificate of Insurance.
- File a claim with the carrier’s insurance company.
