What's different about shipping an electric car?

Not much. An electric car rides on the same open or enclosed trailer as a gas car, ships on the same timeline, and for most models costs the same to move. What's different is a short prep list: the battery should be partly charged, and battery-draining features like Sentry mode need to be off before pickup.

Most EVs, including every sedan, ship at the same rate as a comparable gas car. The heaviest models, a large electric SUV, a Hummer EV, or a loaded Cybertruck, weigh enough to take extra trailer capacity, and that usually costs more.

Four things to do before pickup.

Standard pre-shipment prep is the same as any car. These four are EV-specific, and they're the ones that go wrong if you skip them.

Charge the battery between 20 and 50 percent

Low enough that the pack isn't sitting full, high enough to make it through transit. Aim for the middle and the car arrives with range to spare.

Turn off Sentry mode and always-on monitoring

Sentry mode drains the battery in transit. Teslas have a Transport mode that handles it; most other EVs have an equivalent setting in the app.

Leave the key fob or card with the car

The carrier needs it to move the car on and off the trailer. Tape it inside the glove box or hand it to the driver at pickup.

Line up a charger at the other end

The car may arrive around 20 percent. If the delivery address has no charger nearby, plan the route to the next one before the truck shows up.

Four things that set us apart.

Insured Transport

Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.

Common questions, plainly answered.

Do electric cars cost more to ship?

Most don't. A sedan or compact EV ships at the same rate as a comparable gas car. The heaviest models, large electric SUVs, the Hummer EV, or a loaded Cybertruck, can cost more because they weigh enough to take extra trailer capacity.

How charged should my EV battery be for transport?

Charge it to between 20 and 50 percent before pickup. That is high enough to last through transit and low enough that the pack isn't sitting full. The car should arrive with enough range to reach a nearby charger.

Do I need to disable Sentry mode before shipping a Tesla?

Yes. Sentry mode and always-on monitoring drain the battery in transit. Teslas have a Transport mode that handles it, and most other EVs have an equivalent setting in the app.

What happens if my EV battery dies during shipping?

An EV that can't power on or roll ships as an inoperable car, on a carrier with a winch. Charging to 20 to 50 percent before pickup avoids this. Our inoperable car shipping page covers how non-runners are handled.

Can I ship an electric car on an enclosed trailer?

Yes. EVs ship open or enclosed, the same as any car. Open is the default; enclosed is worth it for a high-end or collector EV.

Do I leave the key fob with the car?

Yes. The carrier needs the fob or key card to move the car on and off the trailer. Leave it in the car or hand it to the driver at pickup.

Car hauling burns diesel. We fund the work to clean it up.
