Car Transport Claremont Near Me
Often called the City of Trees and PhDs, Claremont is a college town with tree-lined streets and more than 35,000 local residents, many of whom are college students at one of the seven local colleges, including Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University. While most of the city is residential and very family-oriented, the downtown area near the college campuses is lined with offices, trendy boutiques, small shops, restaurants, and art galleries. The city has had a tree celebration annually since 1907. It has been named the National Arbor Day Association Tree City USA winner for the last 22 years due to the city's rampant tree planting and growth. Claremont has also been named as one of the Top 10 Places in America to Live by CNN Money Magazine.

Auto Transport Tips
- Having a reliable auto relocator ship your vehicle to or from Claremont is a very convenient way to have your car when needed. We have put together some of our top transport tips to help you along the way:
- Be sure to compare prices between companies. While many companies will have similar rates to ship a car, there may be ways to have discounts applied. You need to ask up front if the company offers discounts for students, military, seniors, or seasonal discounts.
- Verify the company’s insurance proof by asking to see their insurance certificate. You also need to be aware of the amount of coverage offered. Many companies will only cover a car based on the Kelly Blue Book value. If your vehicle needs more, you need to upgrade to a higher plan or provide private insurance coverage.
- Open-air shifting is generally less expensive than enclosed hauling. If you have a classic, antique, or collector's car, you will most likely want to use enclosed shipping to ensure the vehicle remains secure during hauling.
- Be sure to remove all personal items from inside the car unless the company allows items to be left inside. Most shifting companies cannot allow anything loaded onto the carrier except the vehicle. Some, however, have permits that will enable them to carry up to 100 pounds of personal material inside of a motor vehicle during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ship a car that hasn’t been registered yet in Claremont, California?
Yes, you can transport an unregistered vehicle within or out of Claremont as long as you have proof of ownership (title, bill of sale, or temporary tags). Most carriers only require the car to be safely loadable and legally yours. If the vehicle is newly purchased, coordinate with the seller to ensure the pickup site allows access for large transport trucks. You can review how to prep your car for safe loading in our auto transport preparation guide.
Are there any extra charges for pickup or delivery in Claremont neighborhoods?
Occasionally. Some residential areas in Claremont have narrow streets or limited truck access, which may require meeting the carrier at a wider location like a shopping center or nearby lot. These adjustments can add a small “restricted access” fee. The easiest way to avoid this is by choosing a nearby pickup point accessible for a 75-foot hauler. Learn how route accessibility affects pricing in our car transport cost breakdown.
What happens if my shipment from Claremont is delayed due to wildfires or weather?
Southern California’s wildfire and mountain weather conditions can occasionally delay shipments, especially along I-10 or I-210 routes. Reputable carriers will notify you immediately and reschedule at no penalty unless storage or re-delivery is needed. These interruptions are considered force majeure events and rarely result in extra fees. To understand your coverage rights, check our auto transport insurance information.
Can I ship a non-running car from Claremont?
Absolutely. Non-operable cars can be shipped using trucks equipped with winches or lift gates, though they typically cost 30–50% more because of special equipment needs. Make sure to tell your carrier the car doesn’t start before booking. Non-running vehicles are common for project or auction purchases. Read more in our inoperable vehicle transport guide.
Do I need a smog certificate to ship my car into Claremont?
No, a smog certificate isn’t required for transport itself, only for California DMV registration after your car arrives. California requires most out-of-state vehicles older than four years to pass emissions testing within 20 days of establishing residency. Your shipping company only handles transportation, not emissions compliance. Learn what paperwork is needed in our registration and compliance overview.
How far in advance should I book car transport from Claremont during busy seasons?
During high-demand periods like summer (May–September) and holiday months booking 14–21 days in advance helps secure lower rates and better pickup slots. Last-minute or expedited shipments may cost 20–40% more. Carriers serving Los Angeles County fill up quickly due to frequent student and relocation moves.
