Need For Car Movers in Your Area
While Grand Forks is known for its peaceful community, cold winters, and excellent schools, it isn’t always easy to coordinate long-distance travel — especially with a car in tow. That’s where vehicle shipping comes in. Many people choose to use car transport services for reasons such as:
- College transitions: With the University of North Dakota located in the city, students often ship their cars home during breaks or when moving out of state.
- Military moves: Grand Forks Air Force Base personnel frequently relocate and need a secure way to transport their vehicles.
- Relocation for work or family: Job changes or family moves often involve relocating cars to new states.
- Online vehicle purchases: Buying a car from out of state? Car shipping ensures it gets to Grand Forks safely without you flying out to drive it back.
- Snowbird travel: Many Grand Forks residents escape harsh winters by spending months in warmer states like Arizona or Florida and ship their vehicles back and forth.
No matter your reason, using a reliable car shipping service helps protect your vehicle, saves time, and keeps your trip comfortable and worry-free.

Type of Transport Options
Open Auto Transport
This is the most common and budget-friendly method. Your car is shipped on an open carrier, the kind you often see on highways transporting multiple cars at once. It’s ideal for:
- Standard vehicles
- Shorter distances
- Customers looking for cost-effective solutions
Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed auto carrier provides additional protection by keeping your vehicle shielded from weather and road debris. It’s preferred for:
- Luxury, classic, or rare vehicles
- Shipping during winter months or severe weather
- Customers who want maximum protection for their car
We offer both options across Grand Forks and surrounding areas, helping you choose what suits your needs best.
