FAQ
Car shipping questions.
Straight answers about how shipping works, timing and payment.
How does shipping from Chicago work?
You tell us the pickup and delivery locations, your vehicle, and your earliest date. We connect you with a licensed carrier who runs that route, confirm the details with you, and the carrier handles pickup and delivery.
Does Chicago winter weather change pickup?
It can. Lake-effect snow and ice sometimes delay carriers. A flexible window gives the carrier room to work safely, and we keep you posted.
Can a carrier pick up on my street?
Often, but big carriers need space. On tight city streets we help you choose a nearby lot or wide street to meet.
How do I pay?
Payment is by certified funds, and a deposit may be collected. The carrier confirms the amount and when it is due before pickup.
Do I get parking tickets if the carrier stops on my street?
Carriers must stop where it is legal and safe. On busy streets we help you choose a better spot, such as a nearby lot, to avoid trouble.
Can I ship a car for a student?
Yes. Share the move-in date and who will hand off and receive the car. We plan around it.
When is the best time to ship for the winter?
Earlier is easier. Carriers fill up in fall and spring. Share your earliest date and we start from there.
Can I ship from the suburbs?
Yes. Many suburban streets are easy for carriers to reach. We confirm the pickup spot with you.
