Additional Services/Extras
TOP-LOAD GUARANTEE
You can request to have your car shipped on the top level of double-decker trucks (usually $75 extra). A car hauling trailer with a single deck is considered top-load as it guarantees that your car does not have a vehicle above it.
GUARANTEED PICKUP
Requesting to have your car picked up ON or BY a specific date (and/or time) will increase your rates in order to accommodate for that specific time frame. Please call and speak with an agent to arrange a customized transport quote.
EXPEDITED SHIPPING
You can have your car shipped fast with a premium service, and a trucker will re-arrange his or her pre-determined route and schedule to accommodate your specific needs. Learn more.
