Before pickup, prepare your vehicle for the long trip from California to Wisconsin:

• Remove personal items, valuables, toll passes, and fragile items. Carriers may not cover belongings left inside the vehicle.
• Remove or secure loose exterior and interior accessories, such as roof racks, spoilers, antennas, and custom parts.
• Leave about one-quarter tank of fuel. Check the tire pressure and make sure the vehicle has no major leaks.
• Disable the alarm and provide the keys needed to start, move, and secure the vehicle.
• Wash the vehicle and take clear photos of its condition. Note any existing damage on the inspection report at pickup.
• Tell the carrier about mechanical problems, oversized features, or inoperable parts before pickup.

Yes. Your vehicle is covered by the carrier’s insurance while it is in transit from California to Wisconsin. Our quotes are all-inclusive, and every carrier we use must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and $100,000 in cargo insurance. We verify that the carrier’s policy is valid and in good standing for your shipment.

Coverage is subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions. Before pickup, inspect your vehicle with the driver and record its condition on the bill of lading. At delivery, check for any new damage, take photos, and note it on the delivery paperwork before signing.

Schedule your pickup at least two weeks in advance. Booking earlier gives carriers more time to find a route and may provide more pickup options. It can also help if your dates fall during summer, a holiday, or another busy travel period.

Keep in mind that pickup dates are usually estimated windows, not exact appointments. If your schedule is fixed, book as soon as you know your dates and allow some flexibility for the pickup.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Open transport is the standard, lower-cost option for shipping a car from California to Wisconsin. Your vehicle travels on an uncovered trailer, so it may be exposed to rain, snow, dust, and road debris. This is a good choice for most daily drivers and typically offers the best value.

Enclosed transport protects the vehicle inside a covered trailer. It is a better fit for classic, luxury, exotic, restored, or custom-painted vehicles. Enclosed shipping usually costs at least 50% more than open transport, though the final price depends on the vehicle, timing, and pickup and delivery locations. For most standard cars, open transport is enough; for a high-value vehicle or a winter shipment, the added protection may be worth the cost.

Yes. We offer door-to-door car shipping from California to Wisconsin when road access allows. During booking, provide your preferred pickup and delivery addresses. Your carrier will aim to collect and deliver your vehicle as close to those locations as safely and legally possible. If a street is too narrow, restricted, or difficult for a large truck, the carrier will arrange a nearby meeting point, such as a public parking lot or gas station.
