Navigating Outer Banks Roads

The Outer Banks, NC, located on a series of barrier islands, presents unique challenges for vehicle transport.

Key routes such as U.S. Highway 158 and NC Highway 12 provide access to the Outer Banks, while ferries connect some of the more remote islands. Seasonal traffic during peak tourist months and weather-related disruptions, including coastal storms, can impact schedules, but ATP’s skilled car haulers expertly manage these conditions to ensure smooth and timely deliveries.

  4. Secure Vehicle Transport
    Your vehicle will be loaded onto an open or enclosed carrier, depending on your preference, and transported safely by ATP’s auto haulers.

  5. Delivery and Final Inspection
    Upon delivery, inspect your vehicle to confirm it matches the pre-transport condition noted on the BOL before completing the paperwork.

FAQs

Clean your vehicle for inspection, remove personal items, ensure the gas tank is no more than a quarter full, and check for any mechanical issues.

It’s recommended to book 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure your preferred schedule.

Yes, our enclosed carriers provide added protection from weather and road debris, making them ideal for high-value vehicles.

  • Ferry-Only Access:

    • Parts of the Outer Banks, like Ocracoke Island, are accessible only by ferries. While some ferries can accommodate transport trucks, size restrictions or seasonal schedules may limit access. Careful coordination is required to ensure trucks meet ferry regulations.
  • Narrow or Low-Capacity Bridges:

    • The Herbert C. Bonner Bridge (now the Marc Basnight Bridge): While large trucks can use this bridge, weather conditions such as high winds can temporarily restrict heavy vehicles.
    • Hatteras Island Routes: Some local roads connecting smaller communities are too narrow or fragile for large transport trucks.
  • Beach-Only Areas:

    • Certain remote or private properties in the Outer Banks are accessible only via sand roads or beaches. Large trucks cannot navigate these terrains, requiring alternate delivery solutions, such as offloading the vehicle nearby.
  • Weight and Size Restrictions:

    • Smaller local roads, especially in villages like Avon, Buxton, or Duck, may have weight or height restrictions, preventing large carriers from traveling directly into these areas.
  • Seasonal or Emergency Closures:

    • Hurricane Season: Roads like NC-12—a primary route along the Outer Banks—are prone to closures during storms or flooding, which may disrupt access for transport trucks.

Testimonials

Paul Koether

I transport my car every winter from Texas to Florida and back. This year is the first time it has been painless. Auto Transport did everything as promised. Mike Surgen and his driver did a great job. I plan to be a repeat customer. Not the cheapest but the best. Avoid "bargains" in auto transport.

Scott Findley

Could not have been happier with the delivery of my classic Mustang. Easy engagement and setup, great communication and delivery. Transport driver was courteous, no problems at all. Thanks for making it easy.

Keith & Debbie

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.
