Driver was Aaron C. Evans - courteous, communicative and professional. I would hire him for a transport job anytime. He transported my 1943 VW Kübelwagen safely from Michigan to Florida. The car arrived in perfect condition, no damage, nothing missing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shaughnessy Overland Express Auto Transport
How much will transporting my car cost?
The cost to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors, such as the distance, type of transport (open or enclosed), the make and model of your car, the time of year, and fuel prices. Additional services like door-to-door pickup and delivery can also impact the price.
How long will it take to ship my car?
Shipping times depend on the distance of the transport, the route, weather conditions, traffic, and the transporter’s schedule. An estimated pickup and delivery window is usually provided. Domestic shipments can take from a few days to a couple of weeks, while international shipments may take longer.
What steps should I take to prepare my vehicle for shipment?
To prepare your car for transport, follow these steps:
Ensure it is in good running condition unless it’s being shipped as non-operational.
Clean the interior and exterior, and take photos to document its condition.
Secure or remove loose parts and specialty items such as spoilers, fog lights, or mirrors.
Keep the gas tank about a quarter full to reduce weight.
Disable the alarm system to avoid activation during transport.
Remove all personal belongings and non-permanent items to prevent theft or damage.
Am I allowed to pack personal items in my car before transport?
Some companies permit a small amount of personal items packed in the vehicle, typically in the trunk or below window level. However, others prohibit it due to insurance, liability, and weight restrictions.
Do I need to be present for pick-up and delivery?
Yes, either you or a designated representative should be present to hand over the vehicle, sign necessary documents, and inspect the vehicle at both pick-up and delivery.
Can I transport personal items in my vehicle?
Most transport companies discourage or prohibit this due to insurance and safety regulations. Always check with the company before placing personal items in your vehicle.
How long does vehicle transport take?
The duration depends on the distance, route, and type of transport. Typical cross-country transport in the U.S. can take 7-14 days. Expedited services are available at an additional cost.
Are there any restrictions on the types of vehicles transported?
Most transport companies can handle a wide variety of vehicles, but there may be restrictions on extremely large or modified vehicles. Always check with the transport company.
What if my vehicle gets damaged during transport?
Reputable transport companies have insurance to cover potential damages. Document any damage upon delivery and file a claim with the transport company's insurance provider.
Can I track my vehicle during transport?
Many transport companies offer tracking services so you can monitor the progress of your vehicle. Confirm this service with your chosen provider.
What happens during pick-up and delivery?
During pick-up, the transport driver will inspect the vehicle and document its condition. The same process occurs at delivery to ensure the vehicle arrives in the same condition.
