FAQs About College Car Shipping
Q: How much does it cost to ship a car to college?
A: The cost varies based on factors like distance, vehicle size, and transport type (open or enclosed). Open carrier transport is the most affordable option for students, with rates starting at about $1.00 per mile for shorter routes and decreasing for longer distances.
Q: Can I pack personal belongings in my car?
A: While some carriers allow personal items, it’s best to keep them minimal. We understand if you need to pack your belongings, but please understand extra charges can occur. It’s always best to let us know in advance and we can work out a deal with the driver! Be aware of weight limits, and remember that carriers aren’t responsible for items left inside the vehicle.
Q: How far in advance should I book car shipping for college?
A: Book as early as possible—ideally 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak times like the start and end of the school year.
Q: What transport method is best for college students?
A: For most students, open carrier transport offers the perfect balance of affordability and reliability. If you have a luxury or specialty vehicle, consider enclosed transport for extra protection.

Testimonials
Had a great experience with ATP. They were able to ship my bike in 2 days from Wisconsin to Virginia when other companies said it would take 20-28 days and they did it at a lower price. ATP was in constant communication with me via phone, email, and texting. I absolutely will use ATP for all future transportation needs. I highly recommend them.

FAQ
The time it takes to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors including total miles traveled. It can range from 1-2 days for short-haul transport and up to 7-10 days for cross-country transports. Once a truck has been assigned we will provide the actual pickup day and time along with an estimated delivery date. As we get closer to the day of delivery we will communicate the actual drop time window.
Yes, we can guarantee a specific pickup and/or delivery date. This guarantee will require additional fees to ensure the required dates are met. The majority of our transports are picked up and delivered in the window of time that our customers are willing to accept. However, keep in mind that picking up the vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be starting its journey that same day.
You may either pay a deposit before pickup by major credit card (3-4% processing fee depending on card type) and pay the remaining balance Cash On Delivery (COD) to the driver upon delivery or pay the full amount prior to delivery. Keep in mind if you are planning to pay COD, it must be done by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
