How to ship your car to college in 2025:
Why Ship Your Car to College?
Convenience:
Skip the exhausting cross-country drive and have your car waiting for you when you arrive.
Safety:
Avoid breakdowns, bad weather, and the risks of long-distance driving.
Cost-Effective:
When you factor in gas, hotels, meals, and wear and tear, shipping often costs less than driving.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to College?
Car shipping costs typically range between $500 and $1,500, depending on:
- Distance between pickup and campus
- Type of transport (open vs. enclosed)
- Size and weight of the vehicle
- Time of year (summer and fall are peak seasons)
Pro Tip:
Book early (4–6 weeks before move-in day) to secure the best rates and delivery times!
What to Look for When Choosing an Auto Transport Company
Not all car shipping companies are created equal. Make sure you work with a provider that offers:
- Door-to-Door Delivery: We pick up your car at your home and deliver it directly to your college campus or nearby.
- Fully Licensed & Insured Carriers: Protects your vehicle every mile of the way.
- Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees or surprise costs.
- Live GPS Tracking: Know where your vehicle is at all times.
- Student Discounts: Some transport companies (like MAB Movers!) offer special deals for college students.
How to Prepare Your Car for Shipping
Before handing over your car to the carrier, follow these simple steps:
- Wash Your Car: Easier to document any pre-existing damage.
- Take Photos: Take detailed pictures of your car’s condition.
- Remove Personal Items: Most carriers aren’t insured for personal belongings.
- Check Tire Pressure and Battery: Ensure your car is ready to move.
- Disable Alarms: Prevent unnecessary interruptions during transport.
