Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
It is a really professional company, and the service was great, and we also really value the environmental contributions they are doing. Thank you guys!! Will move my car again with you ❤️

Indianapolis puts a clock on a car carrier rather than keeping it off the street. A truck with more than two axles can stand on a residential street here, but only for an hour, and a few residential corridors are posted against heavy trucks altogether. Once the car is loaded it’s on an interstate within minutes of most of the city, heading south toward Atlanta and the Gulf, west toward Dallas, Phoenix and Los Angeles, or east to New York.
An hour, because Indianapolis limits any truck with more than two axles to one hour on a residential street.
The code names the tractor of a semi outright, and a loaded car carrier runs on five axles or more, so it is covered. Between midnight and 6 a.m. the same hour applies on every street in the city, residential or not. There is an exception for moving vans while they unload at a house, and it says nothing about a car carrier. So the hour is the figure to plan around, with the car out and the keys in hand when the truck turns up.
Reaching the street is the other half. Some residential corridors are posted against heavy trucks, which on North Meridian between 16th and 86th Streets means a 10,000-pound limit. A loaded carrier weighs far more, so on a posted street the handover may happen at the nearest main road or in a parking lot.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.

Open transport from Indianapolis costs about $0.80 to $1.60 a mile. Atlanta, the nearest of these at about 530 miles, comes to $800 to $1,000, and Los Angeles, about 2,070 miles away, to $1,450 to $1,750.
A car shipped from Indianapolis usually takes 2 to 4 days to reach Atlanta or New York, 3 to 5 days to Houston or Miami, and 4 to 7 days to Los Angeles.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
If you find damage at delivery, note it on the bill of lading before signing. We will manage the claim with the carrier from there.
