Focus on packing and moving your household while we deliver your car stress-free, perfectly timed with your move.
Moving to a new home is already a stressful thing to do. From dealing with movers to packing your entire life and unpacking to a new place you’ve never been before can be overwhelming. We get it! That’s why we help your local moving with car, ensuring it’s a fully hands-off process so you can focus on all other aspects of the move.
The good thing about our local vehicle relocation services is that we move all types and sizes of vehicles. We understand that sometimes heavy vehicles, such as RVs or campers, boats, trucks, and SUVs, need to be moved short distances very carefully and safely. We have haulers who can move such loads of heavier and larger sizes.
Furthermore, if you are a large family with multiple vehicles, we have open carriers to move all of them in one go, be it sedans, motorcycles, mobile homes, or a combo of them all. We also have enclosed carriers in our network who can safely move your luxury, classic, or exotic vehicles or an entire collection of expensive rides efficiently. Our team handles the entire process while you focus on settling into your new home.
Flexible Car Transport For Local Moves - We Ship All Types & Quantities
Nearly 60% of US relocations are done locally, which means there’s a high demand for local moves and car shipping services in the country.
Several companies offer local vehicle transportation, but even all of them combined are still just a few thousand, so meeting the demand sometimes becomes a little tricky, especially on Mondays with 19% and Fridays with 15% of the moves happening.
However, we have solutions and systems to ensure we can help all movers without overcommitting and underdelivering.

Local moves hold the majority of the chunk of movers in the US, and we understand that all kinds of people and families move locally, including new couples, people with children, and military families, so we have different kinds of solutions to move their vehicles short distances safely. Some of them include:
- Family Moves With Multiple Cars: Do multiple people in your home own a car, and now you’re wondering how to handle these vehicles during the move? Dont fret. This works better for you because we handle multiple-vehicle transport from A to Z and offer discounts on 2 or more vehicles.
- Time-Sensitive Relocations: Sometimes, it gets a little challenging to find perfect car shippers, and before you know it, your moving day is upon you. You need a reliable vehicle relocation service provider to act at the last minute. This is where we can help with our expedited pickup service for local moving.
- Military Family Moves: Military families often need to move, and though their lifestyles make them mentally prepared for the relocation, moving vehicles can sometimes be inconvenient. That’s when they hire us. We not only have experience shipping vehicles for military families, but we also offer discounts to make their frequent moves more affordable.
- Expensive Vehicle Moves: Luxury, classic, vintage, sports, and exotic vehicles require enclosed haulers for safe moves, no matter how long or short the distance is. The trailer fully encloses the vehicles and protects them from external elements such as rain, dust, road debris, etc.
- Heavy/Oversize Vehicle Moves: Do you have a boat, RV, mobile home, truck, SUV, or any other oversized or heavy vehicle that needs to be moved locally? We have flatbed haulers with winch and ramp systems to carefully load/unload, secure, and move your larger vehicles with heavier loads and irregular dimensions to short distances safely and legally.

Let’s See Some Local Car Moving Estimated Costs:
The cost of short-distance car shipping ranges from $1 to $1.5 per mile, depending on the distance, vehicle type, and carrier type (enclosed or open).
The cost is slightly higher than long-distance moves because of the fixed costs associated with car haulings, such as carrier vetting, route planning, truck spot utilization only for short distances instead of long haul, and some administrative costs.
Still, it’s a good deal for someone moving locally because it takes one hassle off their hands: moving the car and other stuff. That said, here’s how much it usually costs to move your car short distances:

Frequently Asked Questions:
What qualifies as a local move?
Moving from one city or county to another within a radius of 100 to 200 miles usually qualifies as local moving. We have local auto shipping solutions if you need to move a vehicle within this radius or even greater.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking 3-4 weeks before your move gives us ample time to find a carrier that will travel to the same location as your drop point from the same route as your pickup place.
What’s the typical delivery time for local moves?
Shorter moves under 200 miles are usually done within the same day, while 300-400 miles can take 1-2 days. These are the actual transit times, not the pickup times, as those have separate windows.
What happens if my moving date changes?
Rescheduling car transportation after a carrier is assigned is challenging because the carrier cannot wait. They carry 7-9 vehicles together, and making them wait for one car is not possible. So, if your date changes while a carrier is assigned, we’ll have to cancel the order, charge a small cancellation fee, and then assign a different carrier.
