Westfield, IN Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for shipping from Westfield, IN is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car – carriers cannot transport personal belongings for insurance reasons. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during transport.

Clean your vehicle inside and out before pickup. This helps with the inspection process and makes it easier to spot any existing damage. Document your car’s condition with photos from all angles.

Make sure your car is in good working order with no more than a quarter tank of gas. Remove or secure any loose exterior parts like spoilers, bike racks, or antennas that could be damaged. Finally, have a spare key ready for the driver – they’ll need it to load and unload your vehicle.

The most convenient option is to pay for your shipment in full by credit card at the time a carrier is secured.

We also allow you to pay for your Initial Payment via credit or debit card and then pay the outstanding balance on delivery day via cash or a certified check made out to the carrier.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport is the most common and cost-effective option. Your car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. It’s exposed to weather and road debris, but this method is safe and reliable for most cars.

Enclosed auto transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and debris.

Choose open transport if: You want to save money and have a standard daily-driver vehicle.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or any car with custom paint or modifications.

Most Westfield residents choose open transport for reliable, budget-friendly shipping. For detailed comparisons and pricing, check our complete open vs enclosed transport guide.
