Fargo Pickups
Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead sit where I-29 and I-94 meet, so carriers pass through every week. Newer subdivisions on the south side often have tight cul-de-sacs, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.

It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver to a student at UVA or Virginia Tech?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Can you deliver to an apartment in Arlington?

Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
