SUV shipping

Generally, it does cost more to ship an SUV than a car. This is because SUVs weigh more and use up more space on the truck. The difference might be fairly small for a compact crossover, but larger SUVs, especially lifted ones, usually cost more.

Almost all SUV types and sizes can be shipped. Compact, midsize, full-size, luxury, and modified SUVs are regularly shipped across the country. The larger or less standard the vehicle is, the more important it is to share the correct details with us before collection.

A normal factory model is not generally considered oversize. The oversized label is more likely to apply if the SUV has a lift kit, wider bodywork, very large tires, extra roof equipment, or unusual dimensions.

Yes, you can, but make sure you mention every change when asking for a quote. Lift height, tire size, ground clearance, roof fittings, and body modifications can all affect loading.

If you want to ship a standard model, it’s not always necessary to provide exact dimensions, as the year, make, and model should provide the basic measurements. Exact figures may be required if the SUV has been lifted, widened, lowered, or fitted with larger wheels and tires.

Luxury and exotic SUVs can be transported by open and enclosed trailers. Many owners choose enclosed auto transport because the vehicle stays covered, and fewer vehicles are carried. It’s best suited for rare, custom, or showroom-condition SUVs.

Yes, you can ship an electric or hybrid SUV. Let us know what you’re shipping, since the battery weight may affect the space allocated on the truck. Secure the charging cable and check the manufacturer’s transport advice beforehand.

Yes, you can ship a non-running SUV as long as it can still be moved. The driver may need a winch to load it, so make sure to explain whether the vehicle rolls, steers, and brakes when you request the quote.

Yes, you must remove cargo boxes, bike racks, and luggage carriers where possible. They add height and can get in the way during loading. Standard roof rails are usually fine, but please let us know about any larger attachments.

SUV shipping is arranged from one address to another, which is considered door-to-door. However, keep in mind that large trucks can’t always enter narrow streets, gated areas, or roads with low trees. In these situations, the driver will arrange a nearby meeting point where there’s enough room.

Try to book around one to two weeks ahead of your preferred pick-up date. Allow longer during holidays, snowbird season, summer moves, or for remote routes.
