Simply provide a few basic details such as: pick-up city and state, delivery city and state, vehicle year, make and model, condition of vehicle, transport type, and first available shipping date (this is the first date your car will be ready to be picked up).

Transportation services for college students can also be arranged by contacting our friendly shipping advisors directly, by phone, email, or Live Chat.

The no-obligation quote you get is fully inclusive of taxes and insurance and there are no hidden fees. Our college students' car transportation service is door-to-door.

If the quote is higher than you expected please get back in touch, because we’d like the opportunity to do what we can to offer a more competitive price. If, on the other hand, you’ve got a better quote for student auto transport from a direct competitor, we’ll do our best to match it.

Booking your order couldn’t be easier. Simply click on the link in the emailed quote to complete your booking. Alternatively, call (864) 546-5038, email, or use our Live Chat Option and book directly.

To ensure your auto transport experience is the best one possible, we then search our vast network of vetted, trusted and reliable carriers. There’s bound to be one that meets your needs. Next, we’ll contact you to confirm your pick-up date as well as filling you in on the next stage in the process. Your assigned carriers contact information will be sent to you in an automated email.

At this point, we’ll take a small partial payment from your debit or credit card, if you chose the Discounted Cash Price. The balance is paid upon delivery of your vehicle, either in cash, cashier’s check, or money order. If you opted for the Regular Price, the whole amount is collected so that we can secure your spot on the auto transport trailer.

We pick up your vehicle

On the scheduled pick-up day, you’ll be given a few hours notice that the carrier is on their way. They need to confirm that the pick-up location is safe and legal for a large commercial vehicle. If it’s not, you need to think of an alternative location. Consider a wider or unrestricted street nearby, a parking lot that’s close by, or maybe your place of work. They are also getting in touch to confirm someone will be available to release the vehicle. If you can’t be there you can nominate a third-party to act on your behalf, for example, a neighbor, friend, relative, or work colleague.

When the carrier arrives you and the driver must closely inspect the vehicle for any existing damage. Any ding, dents, scratches, for example, must be recorded on the Bill of Lading. You’ll both have to sign this important document. You’ll be given a copy to keep safe.

The vehicle will then be carefully loaded onto the trailer and you can say your goodbyes. For your peace of mind, you can keep in regular contact with the driver. Regular updates can also be arranged by phone, email, or Live Chat.

You receive your vehicle

In a few days time, you’ll be contacted again to let you know your vehicle is almost home. A few hours before they’re due to arrive, the carrier will get in touch to let you know they’re almost there. As well being a courtesy call it’s also the carrier’s chance to check on the suitability of the delivery location and to make sure you’ll be at the location to accept the car. You can nominate a third party, such as a friend, relative, neighbor, or acquaintance, if you’re not going to be available. They do, however, have to be 18 years of age or older.

When your vehicle is delivered, you must check it over once again to ensure everything is in order. The final step is to sign the Bill of Lading to accept delivery. If you opted for a Discounted Cash Price, the balance now has to be made either in cash, cashier’s check, or money order.

What type of auto transport service do college students prefer?

College students often need to keep costs as low as possible. This is why open car shipping is the most popular service we offer. It’s a safe and secure way to transport a vehicle that’s budget-friendly.

There are, however, occasions when a little extra care and attention is required. If the college student is the proud owner of a classic, custom, luxury, vintage, or new vehicle, enclosed car transport is the preferred service. On occasions, we also get asked to provide express car delivery, and a guaranteed pick-up auto transport service. All our car shipping services are door-to-door, unless you’re shipping a car internationally, or to Hawaii.

The Freedom of a Car: Why College Students Need Their Own Wheels

For many college students, having a car can be a crucial aspect of their college experience. Not only does it offer the freedom to go where you want when you want, but it also serves as a reliable mode of transportation. Especially if you're attending a school far from home.

When it comes to the best college transportation, a car is often the most convenient and reliable option. While school transport such as buses and designated drivers are often available, they also come with restrictions in terms of routes and schedules. With a car, students have the ability to create their own schedules and travel plans. You don’t need to rely on the bus schedule.

During certain times of the year, such as holiday breaks or summer vacation, having a car becomes even more valuable. Rather than relying on public transportation or school buses, students can simply hop in their car and head home or take a road trip with friends.

Fuel efficient options such as the Toyota Prius or Kia Soul, which offer excellent fuel economy and features such as adaptive cruise control and collision warning, can help save on costs and ensure safety on the road.

For those attending school far from home, car transportation to college may require shipping their vehicle. This can be done through car shipping companies, like SGT Auto Transport, that offer door to door service. This allows students to focus on their studies rather than worrying about the logistics of getting their car to campus.

Ultimately, a car can be a valuable asset for college students. Whether you're commuting to campus or traveling home during breaks, having the freedom and convenience of your own vehicle can greatly enhance your college experience. And with the help of car shipping services and fuel-efficient options, it's never been easier to make it happen.
