How much does it cost to ship a car from Tennessee to West Virginia?
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 WVU or Marshall?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Can you deliver to a house up a hollow?
Usually to the nearest paved road or a lot in town, since narrow hollow roads don't fit a carrier.
Should I ship or drive from Tennessee to West Virginia?
For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for a classic car, several cars, or a car that doesn't run.
Can you ship a car from West Virginia back to Tennessee?
Yes. Request a quote with your West Virginia pickup address and your Tennessee delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
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.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
