Murraysville, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Murraysville, NC is simple. Follow these key steps:

Clean your vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing damage with photos.

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, toll passes, and fragile items. These aren’t covered by carrier insurance.

Remove accessories: Detach bike racks, roof racks, spoilers, and custom antennas that could get damaged.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car is in good running condition with no leaks. Charge the battery fully.

Maintain fuel level: Keep your gas tank at about 1/4 full. This reduces weight while ensuring the car can be loaded and unloaded.

Disable alarms: Turn off car alarms to prevent issues during transport.

Provide a key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle.

Open auto transport uses open-air trailers that carry multiple vehicles at once. Your car is exposed to weather and road elements during transit. This is the most common and affordable shipping method, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from weather, debris, and road dust. This premium service typically costs 50-60% more than open transport.

Most Murraysville, NC residents choose open transport for everyday vehicles. It’s safe, reliable, and the same method dealerships use to ship new cars. Consider enclosed transport if you’re shipping a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic sports car, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

Both options provide insurance coverage and professional handling. The choice comes down to your vehicle’s value and your budget. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for a detailed comparison.
