Moving across the country is exciting, but figuring out how to get your car there can feel overwhelming. Instead of adding thousands of miles (and plenty of stress) with a long drive, you can rely on us for professional coast-to-coast auto transport. Here’s how to ship your car across the country safely and affordably.
Getting a Quote
The first step in shipping your car across the country is understanding what it will cost. With us, requesting a quote is quick and easy. You can call our team directly or use our online form, and within minutes you’ll receive a customized estimate based on your specific move. We’ll ask for details such as the make and model of your vehicle, the pick-up and drop-off locations, and whether you prefer open or enclosed transport.
Our quotes are clear and with no hidden charges or surprise add-ons later. We know that moving is already expensive, so our goal is to provide you with honest pricing upfront.
Preparing Your Car for Transport
Once you’ve booked your shipment, the next step is preparing your vehicle for its journey. A little preparation goes a long way toward ensuring a smooth process. We recommend giving your car a thorough wash so that condition inspections are accurate. Take clear photos from multiple angles, documenting any existing scratches or dings. This serves as a record for your peace of mind.
It’s also important to remove all personal items and valuables from the vehicle, including electronics, documents, or small items tucked into glove compartments or seat pockets. While your car will be fully insured during transport, personal belongings are not covered, so it’s always better to take them with you. Additionally, leave your gas tank about one-quarter full, it’s just enough for loading and unloading but keeps the vehicle lighter and safer for transport. Finally, disable alarms, remove toll tags, and secure or remove accessories such as roof racks or bike racks. These small steps reduce potential issues during the move and help your car arrive exactly as it left.
Choosing the Right Service for Your Needs
At Bridgetown Express LLC, we recognize that every customer’s situation is unique, which is why we offer both door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal services. Door-to-door service is the most convenient option, as our driver will pick up your vehicle directly from your location and deliver it as close to your destination address as possible. This is especially helpful if you’re juggling a busy move and don’t want to deal with extra travel.
Terminal-to-terminal shipping, on the other hand, is a cost-effective choice for those who don’t mind dropping their car off and picking it up at designated hubs. It’s a practical option for customers on a tighter budget or those who live outside of easy-access pickup areas. Both methods are safe, reliable, and designed to fit your preferences, and our advisors can walk you through which one works best for your timeline and budget.
Scheduling and Delivery
Once you’ve prepared your car and selected your service type, our team will work with you to schedule the shipment. We aim to provide flexible scheduling windows that align with your moving plans. Our professional drivers handle the road while you focus on your relocation, and throughout the process, our team will keep you informed with updates.
When your car arrives, you’ll inspect it with the driver and confirm its condition matches the original documentation. We take pride in delivering vehicles safely and on time, and if there are ever concerns, our support team is available to assist. For us, it’s about more than just moving a car, it’s about delivering a stress-free experience that makes your move easier.
