Rivian Shipping — Nationwide Auto Transport
Rivian's R1T and R1S are pioneering American electric adventure vehicles. Their high ground clearance and unique underbody require carriers experienced with EVs — Uwon Carriers has the right network.
Recommended: Open or Enclosed
EV transport requires carriers knowledgeable about battery safety and low-clearance loading. We always match Rivian vehicles with EV-experienced carriers.

Why Ship Your Rivian with Uwon Carriers
Preparing Your Rivian for Shipping
- Remove all personal belongings from your Rivian — carriers are not responsible for items left in the vehicle
- Leave fuel at or below ¼ tank (25–30 lbs per gallon; less weight = easier loading)
- Photograph every angle of your Rivian before pickup — document existing scratches, dents, or chips
- Disable any aftermarket alarm systems that might trigger during transport
- Ensure your Rivian is in operational condition — it must drive on/off the carrier trailer under its own power
- Retract all antennas and fold in mirrors to avoid damage on open carriers

Is my Rivian insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier in the Uwon Carriers network carries a minimum of $100,000 cargo insurance per load. Your Rivian is inspected before pickup and documented on a Bill of Lading — any pre-existing condition is recorded so you're protected.
How long does it take to ship a Rivian?
Transit time depends on distance. Under 500 miles: 1–3 days. Between 500–1,500 miles: 3–6 days. Cross-country (1,500+ miles): 6–10 days. Expedited shipping is available to reduce transit time.
Can I ship my Rivian door-to-door?
Yes. Uwon Carriers provides door-to-door auto transport for your Rivian. We pick up at your address and deliver directly to the destination — no terminal drop-offs required.
Do I need to be present when my Rivian is picked up?
We recommend being present at pickup so you can walk through the condition report with the driver. If you can't be there, you can designate a trusted person to release the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading on your behalf.

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.
