Car shipping services

Choose transport around your vehicle, your route and the way you want the handover arranged. Compare open and enclosed trailers, understand door-to-door pickup and delivery, or discuss the extra planning a classic or exotic car may need.

Van 3 arranges vehicle shipments through a carrier network. Start with the service that fits your priorities, then provide your vehicle and route details for a quote. If you have special loading requirements or a deadline, speak with our team before booking.

These options describe different parts of the same shipment. Open and enclosed refer to the trailer; door-to-door refers to the collection and delivery arrangement. A classic or exotic car may combine those choices with specific handling requirements.

Open car transport

Open transport carries your vehicle on a trailer without enclosed sides and a roof. It is an option for everyday cars, SUVs and trucks when outdoor exposure is acceptable and you want to compare a practical transport price.

Read how open transport works, what it is best suited to and how it compares with enclosed shipping before choosing the service for your route.

Enclosed car transport

An enclosed trailer provides a barrier between your car and direct exposure to weather and road debris. It is worth considering for a delicate finish or a vehicle whose outdoor exposure is a particular concern.

Discuss the actual loading equipment, handling requirements and carrier coverage before booking. A covered trailer does not, by itself, confirm every feature your car may need.

Door-to-door car shipping

Door-to-door describes where the vehicle is collected and delivered. The carrier comes as close to your addresses as safely and legally possible, with a nearby meeting point if the truck cannot access the street or property.

This handover arrangement can accompany open or enclosed transport. Learn about access restrictions, who should attend and how to choose a practical meeting point.

Classic, exotic & retro car shipping

A restored classic, modified vehicle or exotic car may need a more detailed conversation about clearance, operating instructions, finishes and the condition record. The plan should reflect the particular car rather than its age or model name alone.

Speak with a specialist about the transport type and handling arrangements that can be confirmed. Review the preparation and coverage questions before committing to the move.

Expedited car shipping

If your move has a tighter schedule, discuss the earliest release date, your preferred pickup window and any delivery deadline with the team. The arrangements depend on suitable carrier availability and the route.

Learn what an expedited request covers and confirm pickup and delivery expectations separately before booking. A faster pickup request does not automatically guarantee an arrival date.

Military car shipping

Plan vehicle transport around PCS travel, deployment or a report date. Share when the car can be released, who can attend each handover and any access restrictions near a military installation.

Read about pickup and delivery planning, representatives and base access. If the schedule is tight, discuss the arrangements that can be confirmed for your route before booking.
