FAQs
If you do not see your question listed please give us a call.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Spartanburg to Florida?
Spartanburg to South Florida typically runs $450 to $750 for open carrier depending on exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size, and time of year. Peak snowbird season — October through December southbound — sees higher demand and slightly higher prices on this corridor. Spartanburg to Orlando or Tampa runs on the lower end of that range. We give you a firm number on the call.
How long does it take to ship a car from Spartanburg to California?
Cross-country moves from Spartanburg to California average 7 to 9 transit days once the carrier picks up. Pickup in Spartanburg is typically scheduled within 1 to 3 business days of booking. Total time from booking to delivery on a California route is generally 9 to 12 days. The I-85 corridor through Spartanburg connects west via Atlanta and I-20 for Southern California routes and north via Charlotte for Pacific Northwest routes.
Do I need to prepare my car before the carrier arrives in Spartanburg?
A few things. Remove all personal items from the interior — they add weight and are not covered by carrier insurance during transport. Leave the gas tank at about a quarter full. Disable any toll transponders — E-ZPass, SunPass, PeachPass — so they do not charge during transit. Take photographs of all four sides and the interior before pickup. That documentation protects you if there is any dispute about pre-existing condition.
What if my car is not running?
We ship non-running vehicles. An inoperable car requires a winch or forklift to load onto the carrier, which adds a fee — typically $100 to $200 — and limits which carriers can take the job. Tell us upfront the vehicle is non-operational so we dispatch the right equipment from the start.
Can I ship a car from Spartanburg to a college campus?
Yes. College move transport is one of our regular services in Spartanburg. Students at Wofford College, USC Upstate, and Converse University ship vehicles home at the end of the academic year and back in the fall. We deliver to campus addresses — parking lots, dorm areas, or a nearby location the student specifies. Campus parking permits are required at all three Spartanburg schools, so confirm your permit before the vehicle arrives.
Does carrier availability from Spartanburg change by season?
Yes. Spartanburg sits near I-85 and I-26, which see consistent carrier traffic year-round — the BMW Manufacturing plant in Greer keeps automotive freight moving through this corridor regardless of season. Spring and summer see higher relocation volume. Fall is peak for southbound snowbird moves to Florida. Winter is the slowest season for general moves but not the slowest for the overall corridor. Year-round, carrier availability from Spartanburg is stronger than markets that sit further from major highways.
Is open carrier transport safe for shipping from Spartanburg?
Yes. Open carrier is how the US auto industry moves the vast majority of vehicles every day — new cars from factories to dealerships, auction vehicles across the country, fleet vehicles for businesses. Your vehicle is secured with wheel straps at all four tires and cannot roll or shift on the trailer during transit. Road debris is the primary exposure risk with open transport, which is why high-value vehicles use enclosed carriers instead. For a standard vehicle, open carrier is the right and most cost-effective choice.
