Shipping a Financed or Leased Car: The Lienholder Letter Nobody Warns You About

If you still owe money on your car, you may not be the only party with a say in where it goes. For most domestic moves that changes nothing -- but for ports, overseas, and some cross-border routes, your lender has to put it in writing first, and that letter takes longer to get than the shipment does to book.

✅ For an ordinary state-to-state move, a loan or lease almost never matters -- you do not need permission to ship a car you are financing across the ...
✅ It matters at a port. Ocean carriers handling Hawaii, Alaska barge, and overseas moves generally require written lienholder authorization before th...
✅ Leases are stricter than loans. The leasing company owns the vehicle outright, and many lease agreements restrict moving it out of state permanentl...

Shipping Multiple Cars at Once: How the Discount Actually Works

Two cars on the same truck cost less per car than two cars booked separately, and the reason has nothing to do with a volume discount policy. It is about what a carrier saves when the second vehicle is already standing in the same driveway.

✅ The savings are real but they come from the carrier's costs, not a coupon -- a second vehicle at the same address means one stop instead of two, an...

Tariff Sticker Shock: New Cars Are Up 10% and Buyers Are Shopping Three States Away

The average new car sold for close to $50,000 in July, with tariffs adding roughly $5,000 to $8,900 to imported models. That has pushed a lot of buyers into the used market -- and the used market does not care where you live, which is why more people are buying a car they have to ship home.

✅ New vehicle prices are running about 10.4% higher under 2026 tariffs, with imported models carrying roughly $5,000 to $8,900 of that increase.
✅ The average new car sold for about $49,855 in July 2026 -- roughly 2% above a year ago even after the tariff effect worked through the market.
✅ Tariffs do not apply to used vehicles directly, but the buyers they push into the used market keep used prices firm. Manheim's wholesale index was ...

You Sold Your Car to Someone Three States Away. Now What?

Almost everything written about shipping a car is written for the buyer. If you are the one selling -- handing your vehicle to a driver and trusting that the money is real -- the order you do things in matters more than it does for anyone else in the transaction.

✅ Get paid and let the funds clear before the car leaves. Once it is on a truck heading out of state, your leverage is gone.
✅ Whoever books the transport controls it. If the buyer books, they choose the carrier and the dates -- fine, as long as you are not the one absorbin...

Washington Is Finally Going After Double-Brokering — and It Should Make Your Shipment Safer

Fraud complaints to the FMCSA have roughly quadrupled since 2021, and the industry estimates double-brokering costs carriers somewhere between $700 million and a billion dollars a year. A bill introduced in February and a set of rules phasing in through 2027 are aimed squarely at it. Here is what actually changes for the person shipping a car.

✅ Double-brokering is when the company you hired quietly hands your shipment to another company for a cut -- so the truck that shows up is not the on...

Spot Rates Just Passed Contract Rates for the First Time Since 2021 — What That Means for Your Quote

Open-market truckload rates have climbed above locked-in contract rates for the first time since 2021, tender rejections are at multi-year highs, and the tightening is expected to run through August. Car hauling rides the same capacity -- here is what that actually does to the number on your quote.

The EV Weight Penalty: Why Shipping an Electric Car Costs More in 2026

Quotes for electric vehicles keep coming back higher than the gas version of the same car, and customers assume it is a surcharge for special handling. It is not. It is a federal weight limit written in the 1970s meeting a battery pack built in 2026 -- and it costs the carrier slots on the trailer.

✅ Federal law has capped trucks at 80,000 lbs since the 1970s, and that ceiling -- not the space on the trailer -- is what limits how many cars a hau...
✅ A dual-motor crossover EV runs roughly 4,500 to 5,500 lbs against about 3,500 for a comparable gas crossover. Nine of those puts a truck over the l...
✅ Carriers respond by running slots empty. A trailer that holds nine sedans may only take six or seven EVs, and the revenue for that trip gets spread...

Shipping a Car to Alaska: What It Really Costs, and Why It Is Two Trips Not One

Alaska is the route people underestimate most. There is no continuous road a standard car carrier can drive, so nearly every vehicle sails out of the Port of Tacoma -- which means you are booking two legs, not one. Here is what each costs and how long the whole thing really takes.

✅ Nearly every vehicle bound for Alaska sails roll-on/roll-off out of the Port of Tacoma to Anchorage. There are two sailings a week, and that ocean ...
✅ Published 2026 ocean rates from Tacoma to Anchorage start around $2,670 for a standard car and rise to roughly $3,339 once the vehicle is over abou...
✅ If the car is not already in the Pacific Northwest, you are paying for a second leg to get it to the port. That is the piece people forget to budge...

Wildfire Season 2026: Move Your Vehicles Before the Evacuation Order, Not After

Fire agencies are calling for above-normal wildfire activity across California and the West this season. If you've got a second car, a classic, an RV, or a boat sitting at a property in fire country, the time to move it is before the evacuation order -- because once one drops, no carrier can come get it.

✅ Forecasts call for above-normal wildfire activity across California and much of the West through fall 2026 -- this is a plan-ahead season, not a wa...
✅ Once an evacuation order or warning drops, carriers generally cannot enter the zone -- road closures and safety restrictions mean the window to shi...

Long-Haul Car Shipping Is Up 42% — What's Driving America's Cross-Country Moves

Cross-country auto transport is the fastest-growing segment of the industry -- long-haul shipments are running about 42% ahead of where they were. Here's what's behind the surge, what it does to pricing, and how to book a 2,000-mile move without overpaying.

✅ Long-haul (1,500+ mile) shipments are the industry's fastest-growing segment, running roughly 42% ahead year over year -- driven by relocation, rem...
✅ Per-mile rates drop sharply with distance: a 500-mile move might run $1.00-$1.40 per mile, while a 2,500-mile coast-to-coast haul often lands aroun...
✅ A coast-to-coast open-transport shipment for a running sedan typically runs $1,000-$1,400 and takes 5-10 days door to door.
