How To Dispatch Your Automobile

Compare several quotes from different companies. To get the best value for your money, compare the services against pricing. If you’re comfortable with what a transporter is offering, go ahead and book the service. Prepare your car for pick up by cleaning it. A clean car makes it easy to spot any hidden scratches or dings. Remove personal items from the vehicle, as haulers are not authorized to carry them. If you’re unsure about what is acceptable, talk to your movers. You can also check the regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You will also find other relevant information on shipping cars to or from Horry County. The driver or transporter’s representative will inspect the vehicle upon pick-up. Every detail, including a minor scratch, gets recorded on the Bill of Lading. You will both sign this document once you agree on the report. Always keep a copy of this document with you. You can follow the progress of your shipment using our GPS tracking system. The driver will call you at least 48 hours before delivery. Confirm if the truck can easily access your residence for door-to-door delivery. Pick the next convenient place and tell the driver if this is impossible. You should inspect the car on delivery. Record any damages you find on the Bill of Lading. You will use this to claim the transporter's insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Horry County?

Shipping a running sedan by open carrier generally costs $500-$800 under 500 miles, $750-$1,300 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,100-$1,700 beyond 1,500 miles. A1’s car shipping rates guide explains how quotes are calculated. SUVs, pickups, non-running vehicles, enclosed trailers, and narrow scheduling windows usually cost more. Summer demand around the Grand Strand can also tighten carrier availability, so use exact ZIP codes and vehicle details when requesting a quote.

How long does it take to ship a car from Horry County?

Loaded transit from Horry County usually takes 1-3 days under 500 miles, 3-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, 5-8 days for 1,500-2,000 miles, and 7-10 days beyond 2,000 miles. The pickup window occurs before these transit days and should appear separately in your booking details. Weather, legal driver hours, route access, and delivery sequence can move the estimated arrival window. Treat the delivery date as an estimate until the assigned driver confirms the final approach.

How does Horry County car shipping work?

Horry County car shipping normally follows five steps: quote, booking, carrier assignment, pickup inspection, transport, and delivery inspection. Before loading, the driver records the vehicle’s condition on the Bill of Lading, and you review that record. With door-to-door auto transport, the carrier serves the requested addresses or the nearest safe and legal meeting points. At delivery, compare the vehicle with the original inspection record and document any new issue before signing the final paperwork.

Can a carrier pick up my car at any Horry County address?

As of August 4, 2026, door-to-door pickup in Horry County means service as close to your address as a large carrier can safely and legally reach. SCDOT lists scheduled closures on SC 65/Ocean Boulevard between 1st Avenue South and1st Avenue North on various evenings through September 24, from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m. Narrow streets, low branches, parking rules, or temporary closures may require a nearby commercial lot or wider road. Confirm the meeting point with the driver before pickup day.

Is open or enclosed transport better for a vehicle in Horry County?

Open transport is usually the practical choice for an everyday vehicle, while enclosed transport better suits classics, exotics, luxury cars, and modified or low-clearance vehicles. A covered trailer reduces exposure to rain, dust, and road debris during the trip. A1’s enclosed auto transport options explain the available trailer types. Enclosed carriers have less capacity and generally cost more, so confirm the vehicle’s clearance, loading requirements, insurance terms, and expected pickup window before booking.

How can I verify a Horry County car shipping company is legitimate?

A legitimate interstate car shipping company should have an active USDOT record and appropriate operating authority for its role as a carrier or broker. Search the company name, USDOT number, or MC number in FMCSA’s SAFER Company Snapshot and match the legal name, address, contact information, and authority status with your agreement. Follow the Licensing and Insurance entry for current federal filings, then request the assigned carrier’s cargo policy details. Review the written price, payment terms, and cancellation conditions before authorizing the shipment.

Everything went really great
★★★★★

Beyond happy with my car shipping experience. The driver, Tom, was really nice and kept in good communication the whole time. Pickup and delivery both went great with no issues. It was my first time doing this, so I was nervous, but everything turned out just fine. 

Daniela Ruiz
Easy process overall
★★★★★

We used them to ship my dad’s car and the whole process felt pretty easy. They stayed in touch and whenever I had questions, they answered and gave me the info I needed. The car arrived in perfect condition and the price they quoted didn’t change. We were a little nervous at first, but it all went smoothly. 

Ryan Anderson
Quick and easy turnaround
★★★★★

They did a really good job getting my SUV shipped back to me pretty quickly. The process was simple and customer service stayed attentive throughout. The drivers were friendly and easy to work with. I’d definitely use them again if I need to move a car.

PJ Miller
Way better than last time
★★★★★

I had a bad experience before with another company, so I was still pretty hesitant this time. But their customer service was great, gave me a firm price, and kept in touch the whole way. My car even got picked up and delivered earlier than expected, which helped a lot. The driver was friendly and everything showed up without any issues. Really glad I went with them for shipping my car.
