Door-to-Door Car Shipping in Memphis: Neighborhoods and ZIP Codes We Serve
Memphis sits where I-40 and I-55 meet the Mississippi, with the I-240 loop around the city and two bridges into Arkansas, so carriers cross the metro on roads that carry freight every day. East Memphis, Cordova, and the Shelby County suburbs are ordinary driveway pickups, and so is most of the DeSoto County side in Mississippi. Midtown is the exception: older streets under mature oaks, parked on both sides.
The core
Downtown · Midtown · Cooper-Young · Central Gardens · South Main · the Medical District · Binghampton · Uptown
Narrow streets under old oaks in Central Gardens and Cooper-Young: the driver picks Union, Poplar, or McLean.
East Memphis & the county suburbs
East Memphis · Cordova · Bartlett · Germantown · Collierville · Lakeland · Arlington · Hickory Hill
Wide arterials, Poplar Avenue and Germantown Parkway, off I-240 and I-40; gated subdivisions meet the truck at the gate.
South Memphis & the airport
Whitehaven · New South Memphis · Oakhaven · Parkway Village · Westwood · Southwest Memphis
Industrial-width streets around Memphis International and the FedEx hub, straight off I-55 and I-240.
North Memphis & across the river
Frayser · Raleigh · Northaven · Millington · West Memphis · Marion
Carriers reach Millington on US-51 and cross into Arkansas on the I-40 and I-55 bridges.

What Memphis Pickups Actually Look Like
Most handoffs are straightforward door-to-door pickups. These are the exceptions, and how the driver handles them.
A freight town
Memphis is built for trucks. I-40 and I-55 meet here, I-240 loops the city, and the roads around Memphis International and the FedEx hub are industrial width. Carriers stage on those corridors and reach East Memphis, Cordova, Germantown, Collierville, and the DeSoto County suburbs without a tight turn, so most pickups are a driveway or a curb.
Midtown and downtown
Midtown's older streets are narrow, parked on both sides, and shaded by oaks with low branches, and downtown adds one-ways and trolley tracks on Main Street. Pickups in Central Gardens, Cooper-Young, and the Medical District move to Poplar, Union, or McLean, or to a lot the driver can pull through.
How does vehicle transport to and from Memphis work?
- 1
Get your car shipping quote
Enter your pickup and delivery details and your Memphis vehicle transport price appears on screen in seconds. Choose open-carrier shipping, the most popular and cost-effective option, or an enclosed carrier for additional protection.
- 2
Vehicle pickup
Book online or with a transport coordinator and pick a date. On pickup day your vehicle is inspected, carefully loaded onto the carrier, and you can track the status of your shipment online at any time.
- 3
Vehicle delivery
On delivery day your vehicle is safely offloaded and a final inspection confirms it arrived in the same condition as when it was picked up.
Before the carrier arrives in Memphis
Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.
Schedule in advance
Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.
Prep and empty the vehicle
Wash the car, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and remove personal items. Anything left inside is not protected against loss or damage in transit.
Inspect at pickup and delivery
Walk around the vehicle with the driver at both ends, photograph its condition, and note anything new on the Bill of Lading before signing.
From Booking to Delivery in Memphis: How Long It Takes
The clock starts at pickup, not at booking. Memphis lanes below show real transit bands; add 1–3 days of carrier dispatch up front, more in peak season.
Book 7–14 days ahead and keep the pickup window flexible: that is where Memphis lanes price best.

The shipments Memphis generates most, and the service built for each.
Shipping a car to Memphis
Inbound Memphis auto transport ends at your door in Memphis or in The core, East Memphis & the county suburbs, South Memphis & the airport. The carrier comes in with a delivery window set once the truck is a day out, and the driver checks the vehicle with you against the condition recorded at pickup before you sign for it.
If you are moving in, the quote is the same whether the car rides ahead of you or after you; Tennessee registration comes afterwards, and the Tennessee DMV links in the pickup section above cover that paperwork.
Shipping a car from Memphis
Outbound, Memphis auto transport starts with one quote for the exact vehicle and dates. A transport coordinator assigns the carrier, confirms the pickup date, and from then on the driver is your contact for timing.
Open transport is the standard choice for a daily driver leaving Tennessee; enclosed transport is there for a car that should arrive without weather or road debris on it. Either way the price you see is for your exact vehicle, not a class average.

Open or Enclosed Transport for Memphis?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.
Tips for shipping a car to or from Memphis
Keep the pickup window flexible
A two- to three-day window lets the dispatcher place your car on the first carrier passing through; a fixed single day is the most expensive way to book.
Name a second contact for the handoff
Someone over 18 has to release and accept the vehicle, hand over the keys and sign the inspection reports. If you cannot be at the Memphis address yourself, name a person you trust at booking.
Say so if the car does not run
Inoperable vehicles ship on a carrier with a winch, for an additional fee and usually a slightly longer wait for the right truck. Mention it at quote time so the assignment is right the first time.

Highly recommend Road Runner over other carriers. Shipped a truck from TN to ND. Very easy process... enter a few pieces of info on the website and get a quote, then get scheduled. Pick up and drop off were prompt and on time. Driver was very professional, with a nice semi and trailer. Didn't have other brokers calling, texting and emailing, just worked strictly with RR. Will use them for future auto transports.
