Wake Forest, NC Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Wake Forest, NC is simple but important. First, remove all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items that could break during transit.

Next, clean your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

Check your fluids and battery. Make sure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank) and that the battery works well. Your vehicle needs to start and drive onto the carrier truck.

Remove or secure loose parts. Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or anything that might fall off. Fold in your mirrors and put up convertible tops.

Finally, have your keys ready and make sure someone will be available during the pickup window in Wake Forest. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page.

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 uses trailers without walls or a roof, exposing your car to weather and road debris. This is the most common and affordable option, costing significantly less than enclosed transport.

Enclosed auto transport uses fully covered trailers that protect your vehicle from all outside elements. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport but provides maximum protection.

Choose open transport if: You have a standard daily driver and want to save money. Most cars ship safely this way with minimal risk.

Choose enclosed transport if: You own a luxury car, classic vehicle, exotic car, or have custom paint work that needs extra protection from weather and road debris.

For Wake Forest residents, both options are readily available. See our complete open vs enclosed auto transport guide to help you decide which service fits your needs and budget.
