Three ways to move a vehicle
Most moves fit one of these. If you're not sure which, tell us about the vehicle and we'll recommend one.
Robotaxi & prototypes
Robotaxis and test vehicles travel in enclosed trailers. You see the truck, the driver and the price in writing before you commit.
- Depot-to-depot and multi-city deployments
- Standing agreements: once signed, the next move starts with a text
- Running and non-running units
See how we handle enclosed transport for autonomous fleets.
Driveaway: a driver instead of a truck
When the vehicle can drive, we send a professional driver instead of a truck, for a fraction of the cost.
- Fleet repositioning between states
- Mapping and test cars going back to the plant
- Several units moving at once
- Any road-legal, registered vehicle
See how driveaway works.
Luxury & collector cars
We pick the trailer for the car and the trip, and you deal with the same person until it's delivered.
- Enclosed, open, hotshot and multi-car carriers
- One car or a whole auction, pickup and return
- Inspection signed at pickup and delivery
