Snowbirds, military members, college students and relocating businesses all ship with WeShipCars, an Evanston, Illinois car shipping broker that arranges open car shipping, enclosed auto transport and expedited shipping. Every service is door-to-door, according to its FAQ. The company lists nationwide service, with a dedicated page for Hawaii car transport.
WeShipCars puts its numbers on the table. Its quotes stay valid for 14 days, the company says, and nothing is due upfront. Cancellation is free until a carrier is assigned. After that, the company keeps a fee of up to $199 and refunds the rest. Its homepage also publishes estimated prices by distance, from $400 to $800 for open transport under 500 miles to $1,300 to $1,700 for cross-country trips.
Discounts reach up to 15% for military members, snowbirds, students and Sunday shipments, and up to 25% for returning customers and multi-vehicle orders, according to its website. Guaranteed pickup on a set date costs extra. Expedited service aims to collect your car within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery dates aren't guaranteed.
You can pay cash on delivery, or pay in full by card or Zelle when you book. The company allows one or two bags or suitcases in the trunk or cargo area. Online tracking isn't offered, but you can get location updates by phone, email or live chat.
WeShipCars coordinates the move, and a trucker from its network carries the car. The carrier's insurance covers the vehicle, and the company suggests asking about limits, exclusions and deductibles before you book.
