Can I Ship My Car If It is Not Currently Running?

11/22/2011

If your car has four wheels, rolls and steers, it can be shipped by a car shipping company. Be sure to inform your car shipping company that your car is inoperable or non-running when you request quotes. They will need to send a car carrier that has the proper equipment, such as a winch, to load inoperable cars.

Because of the additional labor and equipment required for shipping an inoperable vehicle, there may be an additional charge for shipping it. So, if you are thinking of fixing the car, it often makes sense to get it in full working order before shipping it, since it likely reduces the cost of shipping.
