pennsylvania car shipping made simple for Keystone State moves

What to expect

Moving a vehicle in or out of Pennsylvania doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right carrier, door-to-door service, and realistic timelines, you can ship a sedan, SUV, or classic with confidence. Whether you’re relocating for school in Pittsburgh, starting a job near Philly, or sending a car to family in Erie, the process is straightforward.

Step-by-step timeline

1. Request quotes and confirm open or enclosed transport.
2. Verify insurance and carrier credentials (MC and DOT).
3. Schedule pickup, then document condition with photos.
4. Meet the driver, sign the Bill of Lading, and hand off keys.
5. Track transit and inspect on delivery before final payment.

Costs, timing, and tips

Most lanes run 3–7 days regionally; coast-to-coast can take longer. Prices vary by distance, season, and vehicle type, but flexible pickup windows usually reduce rates.

• Choose enclosed for low clearance or high-value cars.
• Avoid city-center pickups if streets are tight-meet nearby.
• Remove toll tags and personal items to prevent fees.
