Shipping times depend heavily on the route. Short distances (under 500 miles) can take 1-3 days, while cross-country shipments typically take 7-10 days. We provide an estimated delivery window when you book.

We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance for the best carrier availability and pricing. That said, we can often arrange transport within 24–72 hours for last-minute moves — just call us and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Yes. Vehicles transported through EZ Auto Movers are handled by licensed carriers that are required to carry active cargo insurance. Coverage details can vary by carrier, so customers should review the Bill of Lading and ask about insurance before pickup.

The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the official document that records the condition of your vehicle at pickup and again at delivery. It's the most important document in your shipment — review it carefully at both ends, note any existing damage, and keep your copy until the shipment is fully complete.

We ship almost everything — sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans, motorcycles, classic cars, luxury vehicles, electric vehicles, and even inoperable vehicles (though they require special equipment and a small additional fee).

Open transport is the most common and affordable method — your car rides on an open multi-car trailer, the same ones you see on the highway every day. Enclosed transport places your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer, offering maximum protection from weather and road debris. Enclosed is ideal for classic, luxury, or high-value vehicles and typically costs 30–60% more.

Yes. We can ship non-running vehicles, but they require a special carrier equipped with a winch or forklift for loading and unloading. There is usually an additional fee of $100–$200 depending on the situation. Please let us know upfront when requesting your quote so we can match you with the right carrier.

Door-to-door shipping means the carrier picks up your vehicle as close to your home or origin address as legally accessible, and delivers it as close to your destination as possible. It's the most convenient option and is standard with EZ Auto Movers — no depot drop-off required.

You or a trusted representative (18+) must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle, sign the Bill of Lading, and hand over or receive the keys. If you can't be there yourself, a friend, family member, or colleague can represent you.

Yes. Once your carrier is assigned, we'll provide you with the driver's contact information so you can stay in touch directly throughout the shipment. Our team is also available by phone and email at any time to give you a status update.

Most carriers allow up to 100 lbs of soft personal items in the trunk area, packed below the window line so they don't obstruct the driver's visibility. However, personal belongings are not covered under the carrier's cargo insurance, so ship valuables separately. Always confirm with us before loading anything.

Expedited shipping means your vehicle is assigned a carrier and picked up within 24–48 hours rather than the standard 1–5 day window. It's the right choice when you're in a time crunch — moving for a job, purchasing a vehicle long-distance, or relocating quickly. Expedited service typically adds 15–40% to the base price.

A small deposit is typically collected to secure your booking and assign a carrier. The remaining balance is paid directly to the driver at delivery — usually in cash or certified funds. We'll walk you through the payment structure clearly before you commit to anything.

A carrier physically transports your vehicle using their own trucks. A broker like EZ Auto Movers works with a network of vetted, licensed carriers to find you the best match for your route, schedule, and budget. Brokers give you access to hundreds of carriers — which means better pricing and faster availability than calling individual carriers yourself.

Yes! We can arrange shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. These routes involve ocean freight (RO/RO shipping) in addition to standard ground transport, which affects pricing and transit time. Contact us directly for a custom quote on these routes.

In the unlikely event of damage, note it on the Bill of Lading at delivery before signing. Take photos immediately and contact us right away. All of our carriers carry cargo insurance and we'll help you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
