How does car shipping actually work?
It takes three steps: get a quote (online or by phone), approve it so your broker can book a verified carrier, then meet the driver at pickup where a Bill of Lading documents your vehicle’s condition. You receive a tracking link and your broker monitors the shipment through delivery. With EasyGo, nothing is due until a vetted carrier is assigned.
Should I use a broker or book a carrier directly?
For most shipments — especially auction, port, dealership, repo yard, or time-sensitive moves — a licensed broker is the better choice. Brokers access a national verified carrier network, match the right truck to your specific route and dates, verify insurance and FMCSA authority before booking, and adapt when timing changes. A single carrier is limited to its own trucks and schedule.
How do I ship a car from an auction like Copart or IAAI?
Contact a broker before or right after winning the bid. The broker books the pickup appointment with the auction house, coordinates gate access and lot release, and schedules a carrier to that exact window — so the vehicle isn’t sitting and accumulating daily storage fees. EasyGo handles Copart, IAAI, Manheim, ADESA, GovDeals, and local auctions regularly.
Is a deposit required to book car shipping?
With EasyGo Logistics, no. There is no deposit at the quote stage and nothing due when you accept your price. Payment is collected only after a verified carrier is assigned and you’ve confirmed the details.
What is a Bill of Lading and why does it matter?
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the official condition report signed by you and the driver at pickup. It documents your vehicle’s pre-existing condition in writing and photographs. If anything changes between pickup and delivery, the BOL is your legal protection. Review it before signing and always keep your copy.
How long does car shipping take?
Regional moves under 500 miles typically deliver in 1–3 days. Coast-to-coast runs about 5–7 days. Expedited service can place a carrier at your door within 24–48 hours. Honest brokers give you realistic windows rather than guarantees that break.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes — every carrier EasyGo books carries active cargo insurance, verified against current certificates before booking. You receive the insurance documentation before pickup, and the BOL inspection protects you if a claim is ever needed.
Can you pick up from a repo yard, port, or dealership?
Yes — these specialty pickups are routine for us. Each needs specific paperwork and timing: repo yards require release papers in hand before the truck arrives, RO-RO ports need early-morning carriers based nearby, and dealerships need upfront confirmation the vehicle is actually ready. Call us and we’ll usually have a plan the same business day.
