How Does Auto Transport Work?

Shipping your vehicle doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re relocating, buying a car from another state, or sending a vehicle to a loved one, understanding how auto transport works can save you time, money, and hassle. At MAB Movers, we simplify the process from start to finish — so here’s a step-by-step guide to help you feel confident and informed.

🧩 Step 1: Get a Quote for your Auto Transport


The process begins with a free, no-obligation quote. Just visit www.mabmovers.com and fill in your details:

  • Pickup and delivery zip codes
  • Vehicle year, make, and model
  • Desired transport date
  • Running condition (operable or inoperable)
  • Preferred transport type (open or enclosed)

💡 Pro Tip: Booking in advance can help you lock in better rates and guarantee availability.

📋 Step 2: Book Your Shipment


Once you receive your quote and you’re ready to move forward, you’ll confirm your booking. At this stage, we’ll assign a licensed and insured carrier from our trusted network and provide you with pickup details.

✅ What you’ll receive:

  • Booking confirmation
  • Estimated pickup and delivery window
  • Carrier contact info

🧼 Step 3: Prepare Your Vehicle


Before the carrier arrives, follow these quick prep steps:

  • Remove all personal belongings
  • Clean the car for inspection
  • Check for existing damage
  • Secure or remove loose parts (like antennas or spoilers)
  • Leave only a 1/4 tank of gas

📸 Bonus Tip: Take photos of your car for peace of mind.

🚗 Step 4: Vehicle Pickup


On pickup day, the driver will conduct a Bill of Lading inspection — a detailed report documenting your car’s condition before transport. You and the carrier will sign off on it together.

From there, your vehicle is loaded securely onto an open or enclosed trailer and begins its journey.

🛣️ Step 5: Transit & Updates


Your vehicle will travel based on your route and schedule. Factors like distance, weather, traffic, and route popularity all impact the timeline.

⏱️ Typical transit times:

  • Short distance (under 500 miles): 1-3 days
  • Mid-range (500-1500 miles): 3-5 days
  • Long-distance (1500+ miles): 5-10 days
  • We’ll keep you updated along the way!

📦 Step 6: Delivery & Final Inspection


Upon arrival, you’ll meet the carrier to receive your vehicle. A final inspection ensures the condition matches the pickup report. If everything looks good, you’ll sign the Bill of Lading and your vehicle is officially delivered!
