What's Included with Guaranteed Pickup

Confirmed Pickup Window

We provide a guaranteed pickup window — not a 'we'll try' — with a carrier confirmed before you sign.

Time-Sensitive Booking

Ideal when you have a hard deadline: closing on a house, new job start date, military reporting date, or auction pickup.

Premium Carrier Network

Guaranteed pickup is matched to our highest-rated, most reliable carriers — not the cheapest available option.

$100K+ Insurance Covered

Same comprehensive cargo insurance as standard shipping — guaranteed pickup doesn't reduce your coverage.

All Vehicle Types

Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and classic vehicles all eligible for guaranteed pickup service.

Direct Communication

Assigned carrier contacts you 24 hours before pickup with an exact time window — no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is guaranteed pickup car shipping?

Guaranteed pickup service means we confirm a carrier for your specific pickup date before you finalize your order. Instead of the standard process (carrier assigned within a few days of your first available date), guaranteed pickup locks in a specific pickup window — usually a 1–2 day window — with a confirmed carrier.

When do I need guaranteed pickup?

Guaranteed pickup is valuable when you have a non-negotiable deadline — leaving the country, closing on a home and vacating, reporting for military duty, starting a new job, or picking up a purchased vehicle at auction with a departure date. If your timeline is flexible, standard shipping is usually fine.

How much more does guaranteed pickup cost?

Guaranteed pickup typically adds $200–$500 to the standard transport rate. This premium covers the market rate needed to secure a confirmed carrier for your specific date rather than waiting for the next available carrier on the route.

Is there still no deposit with guaranteed pickup?

Yes — even with guaranteed pickup, we do not require an upfront deposit. You pay the carrier at delivery. The guaranteed pickup confirmation means a carrier is committed to your shipment, not that payment is collected upfront.

How far in advance should I book guaranteed pickup?

Book guaranteed pickup at least 7–14 days before your desired pickup date for the best carrier availability and lowest premium. Last-minute guaranteed pickup (less than 3 days) is possible but carries a higher premium due to limited carrier availability.

What if the carrier misses the guaranteed pickup window?

In the rare event a confirmed carrier cannot fulfill the pickup (mechanical issue, emergency), we immediately work to find a replacement carrier. We take any pickup commitment seriously and work aggressively to fulfill it or make it right.

Can I get guaranteed pickup for an enclosed carrier?

Yes. Guaranteed enclosed pickup is available for classic, luxury, or exotic vehicles that need both a specific date and an enclosed trailer. This is the most premium option and carries the highest rate premium due to lower enclosed carrier availability.

How Guaranteed Pickup Works — Step by Step

Five steps to a confirmed pickup window. We commit to a specific date — not a vague range.

Carrier Matching from Our Vetted Network

We dispatch your shipment to a carrier in our vetted network — every one with active FMCSA authority, current insurance, and a documented track record. You see the carrier's info before booking is final.

Pickup Scheduling & Bill of Lading

We coordinate a pickup window with you and the driver. At pickup, the driver completes a Bill of Lading with photo documentation of the vehicle's exact condition — protecting both sides.

Door-to-Door Transport with Tracking

Your vehicle moves directly to its destination — no terminal stops. GPS tracking and direct contact with the driver throughout transit, with progress updates along the route.

Delivery & Joint Inspection

The driver calls 1–2 hours before arrival. You and the driver inspect the vehicle together against the original Bill of Lading photos, sign off, and you take the keys. Payment is due at delivery.
