Your car shipping company will need to know a few details before they can give you an estimate. They will need to know the kind of car that needs to be moved.  They will also need to know if your car is in running condition.  You will also need to inform the car shipper the exact pickup and delivery locations, the distance your car needs to be moved,  the timeframe that you need your car delivered and if you’re shipping your car via open or enclosed carrier.
