Pick this company if you want your car transported correctly and for the price they quoted for! Awesome driver and company, got my car picked up on schedule and dropped off on schedule, will definitely be using again for all my car transport needs !
There was clear and concise communication throughout the shipping process. I appreciated working with Haulify and Darius because the quote given did not change and the driver assignment was quick, on time and easy. I recommend this company above others. (I have shipped my car several times to other states using different services.) My experience has never been this seamless so I will be using Haulify again!
Great communication. I felt secure as they transported my car, I truly feel confident in them. I recommend using this company, the quoted price doesn’t change and they work with you within the outlined timeframe.
We had to have three cars hauled with a little bit of a short notice on scheduling but Darius got us sorted out for a fair cost, without any problems, and our cars showed up just how they left and when they said they would. I never shipped a car before and the process with Haulify and the skilled assistance of Darius made it pretty easy. I would definitely use Haulify again.
I highly recommend them! They're excellent, and I'll never work with any other company again. They fully deserve what they charge.
Awesome service and transparent. I appreciate the prompt response
Excellent communication!
True Professionals here, they gave me a price and a timeline and stuck to it...It's very rare these days with these type of services...I'd use Haulify again in a second and recommend them to anyone considering moving their vehicles.
Fast service
I am a repeat customer of Haulify and cannot recommend them highly enough!!! Both times I used Haulify to transport my vehicles cross country, and both times I was so impressed. Not only was the process timely (and both times my vehicle arrived precisely on time), but the communication throughout the process was impeccable. I will never use another company to transport my vehicles ever again, and I look forward to giving Haulify my business in the future when the need arises. Hands down the best out there!
Haulify was unreal from start to finish. I shipped a vehicle from San Diego to Chicago, and the entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. Their communication was top-tier — constant updates, quick responses, and zero guesswork at any point. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they'd do it, which is rare in vehicle transport. Pickup and delivery were on time, the car arrived in perfect condition, and the execution overall was extremely professional. You can tell they actually care about doing things the right way, not just moving cars. If you're looking for a company that combines excellent communication, reliability, and flawless execution, Haulify is it.
I give haulify an A+. They were awesome to work with and everything went very smoothly. Very good communication. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat
Thank you so much Darius was s amazing with helping me process everything, replied to every call or text and. Kept me informed I have received my truck just yet but I will def be packing for part two. This guy is always at work never missed a call ❤️
Without question this is the best company I've ever worked with when it comes to relocating a vehicle. The customer service was immaculate making the drop off/pick up of my vehicle seamless. I have to travel a bit, from time to time, and utilizing my own vehicle makes the most sense so I will 100% be using their services again. Highly recommend.
Fast reliable service & on time. Thank you for the great service & customer service.

California car shipping cost depends on mileage, direction, exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size and condition, transport type, timing, season, access, and carrier availability. Southern California, the Bay Area, and a remote mountain or coastal destination can price differently. Use Haulify's car shipping cost calculator for a route-specific estimate.
Nearby West Coast or Southwest routes may take about 1-4 days after pickup, mid-distance routes about 3-6 days, and cross-country routes about 6-11 or more days. Congestion, mountain weather, wildfire conditions, access, and carrier stops can affect timing. Cross-country car shipping may take a week or more.
Open car transport is the most common and economical option for everyday vehicles. Enclosed auto transport adds protection from ordinary weather and road exposure and is often selected for classics, luxury cars, collector vehicles, exotics, restored models, or low-clearance vehicles.
Remove valuables and loose items, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, check the battery and tires, disable alarms, remove FasTrak and other toll tags, remove unsecured accessories, and make sure the vehicle does not have active leaks. Photograph the vehicle and review its condition with the driver. Haulify's auto transport process guide explains the broader sequence.
Yes, when the requested location is safe and legally accessible. Traffic, narrow streets, parking restrictions, steep grades, low-clearance structures, and limited turning space may require a commercial meeting point outside the densest block. Door-to-door auto transport is provided as close as safely and legally possible.
Wildfires, smoke, evacuation zones, road closures, and emergency restrictions can affect pickup, delivery, or routing. Drivers must follow official restrictions and prioritize safe operation, so estimated windows can change during significant fire conditions.
Yes. Haulify can coordinate electric vehicles when the model, operating condition, ground clearance, charging status, and loading requirements are disclosed. The vehicle should have enough charge for loading and unloading without being fully charged unless the carrier requests otherwise.
It can. A destination far from I-5, I-80, US-101, or another active corridor may require additional carrier travel. Mountain passes, winter controls, wildfire conditions, coastal roads, and fewer compatible stops can affect mileage, timing, and price.
