We have expertise in shipping cars in California. Adeptly handling everything from the busy routes in and out of Los Angeles and the Bay Area to the special logistics required for navigating mountainous terrain and more remote regions.
California's vast and varied landscape, from coastal highways to mountain passes and desert roads, can influence transit times and costs. Major urban centers like Los Angeles and the Bay Area are known for significant traffic congestion, which can lead to minor delays in pickup and delivery.
California is a popular destination for relocation, especially during spring and summer months. This creates peak demand for auto transport services, which can affect pricing and availability. Planning your shipment in advance during these busy periods can help secure better rates and ensure timely service.
California has the strictest vehicle emissions standards in the U.S., regulated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). If you are shipping a vehicle to California, especially if it's a newer model (generally less than 7,500 miles on the odometer) that was not originally manufactured to California emissions standards, you may face difficulties with registration or require modifications. Vehicles imported directly from other countries also face stringent requirements. It is crucial to check with the California DMV and CARB regarding your specific vehicle's compliance before shipping.
Deliveries to major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento are usually efficient due to regular carrier routes along I-5, US-101, I-10, and I-80. However, car transport to more remote areas, such as parts of the Sierra Nevada or far Northern California, may take longer and cost more due to less frequent service and challenging terrain.

Larger vehicles (SUVs, trucks) generally cost more to transport than smaller cars. Non-running vehicles also incur additional fees.
Longer distances between pickup and delivery locations increase total costs. However, the cost per mile for auto transport often goes down for long trips. Shipping to or from major urban centers can sometimes have different pricing dynamics because of high volume.
Demand fluctuates, which affects auto transport prices in California. This is especially true during peak moving seasons (spring/summer) and "snowbird" season in the fall.
Transportation to or from remote areas or challenging terrain may incur additional charges.
Faster delivery options for urgent California car transport are available at a higher cost.

Rest assured your California vehicle shipment is protected. Haulify's network includes carriers that carry full insurance. The carrier's cargo insurance covers your vehicle throughout the shipping process.
We recommend cleaning your car thoroughly to easily identify any pre-existing damage. Do not put personal items in the vehicle, because carriers do not insure these. Ensure your car has about a quarter tank of fuel, and check that the battery holds a charge and the tires maintain proper inflation. Disable any alarm systems. Remove any external accessories that could be damaged or fall off during transit.
Open transport is generally more cost-effective and appropriate for most regular vehicles. However, enclosed auto transport is recommended for luxury, classic cars, or high-value vehicles, as it provides superior protection from road debris and varying weather conditions.
California has strict emissions standards (CARB). If you are registering an out-of-state vehicle in California, especially if it's a newer vehicle with low mileage, it must comply with California emissions standards. Vehicles imported from other countries face even stricter rules. It is highly recommended to check with the California DMV and CARB regarding your vehicle's specific requirements before shipping to avoid potential issues with registration.
