Open Vehicle Transport
Open trailer transport is a trusted and widely used option for shipping vehicles to or from California. It allows for quick and efficient loading and unloading, making it a budget-friendly choice.

This method shields your vehicle from weather and road debris, giving you extra peace of mind during transit.

Important Considerations for Shipping a Car To or From California
California has specific laws and requirements you should know before transporting your vehicle. Drivers must now move to another lane when passing cyclists, building on the existing rule to keep at least three feet of distance.
Car insurance is mandatory, with minimum coverage requirements set by the state. Additionally, certain vehicles may need a biennial smog check—scheduling this before shipping can help you avoid delays.
If buying or selling a car privately, remember to register or report the transfer of ownership within the state’s required timeframe.
California’s unpredictable weather, including rare wildfires or mudslides, can sometimes impact shipping schedules. Planning ahead allows for flexibility if unexpected delays occur.
Lastly, be sure to remove any toll tags like FasTrak from your vehicle to avoid unnecessary charges during transit.
