    Answer

  • Question

    Answer

    Answer

Pricing & Payment
  • Question
    How is the cost of auto transport calculated?
    Answer
    Several things affect your final price. Distance matters most, obviously. We also look at your vehicle's size, weight, and whether it runs on its own. If you need faster delivery, that changes things too. Time of year plays a role since demand fluctuates seasonally. Our calculator on the website gives you instant pricing based on all these factors.
  • Question
    Does the price include insurance?
    Answer
    Absolutely. Every quote includes full cargo insurance that covers your vehicle the entire time it's with us. No extra charges, no fine print.
  • Question
    What factors can affect the cost of shipping my car?
    Answer
    The main ones are how far your vehicle needs to travel, its size and weight, whether it runs, how quickly you need it delivered, and what time of year you're shipping. Bigger, heavier vehicles cost more. Non running cars require special equipment. Rush jobs add urgency fees.
  • Question
    How do I make payment for my shipment?
    Answer
    Once we calculate your exact cost, you'll pay a deposit to book the service. When your vehicle reaches its destination and you've inspected it, you pay the remaining balance. Simple as that.
Vehicle Preparation
  • Question
    How should I prepare my vehicle before transport?
    Answer
    Give your car a good cleaning before pickup day. Remove everything from inside, including personal items from the trunk. A clean car makes the inspection process clearer and helps us spot any existing dings or scratches. Also, keep your fuel tank under a quarter full.
  • Question
    Can I leave personal items in my car during shipping?
    Answer
    No, you really can't. Department of Transportation rules prohibit us from transporting cars with belongings inside. Our insurance doesn't cover personal items either. In rare cases, drivers might allow small exceptions for an extra fee, but generally, everything needs to come out before we pick up your vehicle.
  • Question
    Do I need to disable my car alarm before pickup?
    Answer
    Yes, please turn off your alarm system. This prevents false alerts while your car is being transported and loaded.
  • Question
    Does my car need to be running to be shipped?
    Answer
    Non running vehicles can definitely be shipped. We just need to know ahead of time so we can bring the right loading equipment. When you request your quote, mention if your car doesn't start. This lets us plan properly and give you accurate pricing.
During Transport
  • Question
    How long does car shipping usually take?
    Answer
    Timing depends on your specific route and distance. Local moves within BC or short trips might happen in a single day. Longer hauls between provinces typically take several days to a week. When you call (778) 837 2908, we'll give you a realistic timeframe for your particular shipment.
  • Question
    Can I track my vehicle while it's being transported?
    Answer
    Yes. Once your car is on the move, log into our online tracking system to see where it is. You can check progress anytime you want.
  • Question
    Who handles the vehicle inspection before and after shipping?
    Answer
    You do, with our driver present. Before loading, you'll walk around your vehicle together and document its current condition. This protects both of us. When delivery happens, you'll inspect it again with the driver to confirm everything looks the same as when it left.
  • Question
    What happens if my car is damaged during transport?
    Answer
    Every shipment carries full insurance. If you spot damage during the final inspection, document it immediately with photos and let the driver know. Then contact us at (778) 837 2908 right away so we can start the insurance claim process. We handle these situations quickly and fairly.
  • Question
    Will my car be shipped door to door?
    Answer
    Yes, in most situations. We pick up your vehicle from wherever you specify and deliver it directly to your destination address. No terminals, no extra stops.
Vehicle Types & Special Services
  • Question
    Do you ship classic or luxury vehicles?
    Answer
    Absolutely. We handle specialty vehicles including antiques, classics, historic cars, and luxury models. These get extra attention and care throughout the entire transport process.
  • Question
    Can you transport oversized or non operational vehicles?
    Answer
    Yes to both. Oversized vehicles are no problem. Cars that don't run just need special loading equipment, which we arrange beforehand. Tell us about your vehicle's condition when you get your quote so we can plan accordingly.
  • Question
    Do you handle dealer fleet deliveries?
    Answer
    Yes. We work with dealerships regularly and understand the urgency involved. There's a customer waiting for every vehicle we deliver, so speed matters. Whether you need one car moved or an entire fleet, we keep your inventory flowing.
  • Question
    Can you pick up cars directly from auctions?
    Answer
    Yes. We coordinate pickups from auto auction facilities for both dealers and individual buyers. If you won scored a vehicle at auction and need it delivered, we'll handle the logistics.
  • Question
    Do you offer enclosed transport for extra protection?
    Answer
    We use professional auto carriers and transporters to move your vehicle safely. Our carriers are specifically designed for secure vehicle transport, and every shipment includes full insurance coverage for your protection.
