OPEN car shipping

The most commonly preferred shipping method is open transport, primarily due to its safety and reliability. When you need Seattle car shipping near you, open trailers offer a cost-effective and efficient solution, providing easy loading, unloading and arranging. However, it’s important to note that since these trailers aren’t covered, there may be some dust and dirt accumulation on your car upon arrival at its destination.

ENCLOSED car shipping

For transportation of classic, exotic or luxury vehicles, people typically opt for enclosed transport. Enclosed shipping may also be necessary for vehicles with low ground clearance, as they often require a hydraulic ramp or gate for safe loading and unloading. Selecting enclosed transport provides an extra layer of protection, shielding vehicles from road hazards and adverse weather conditions.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Seattle

  • You have 30 days to get your Washington driver’s license after moving to Seattle from a different state. Depending on where you’re moving from, you may need to take a driving test.
  • New vehicles (starting with 2009 models) must meet clean air standards to be registered, leased, rented, licensed or sold in Washington.
  • Seattle experiences winter storms where snow and ice accumulate on roads. Be prepared by equipping your car with snow tires and/or tire chains; keeping emergency supplies in your car like a flashlight, blanket, gloves, snacks and a first-aid kit; driving slowly and avoiding driving altogether when possible.
  • Good To Go! is a cost-effective and easy way to pay tolls across the state of Washington. If you’re new to Seattle and the state and plan to commute frequently on highways, you may consider creating an account. When leaving Washington, don’t forget to cancel your account and remove the pass from your vehicle. Always remove toll tags when shipping your car to avoid incurring fees while in transit.
