What Washington customers say about shipping with RoadRunner

"Great service. They delivered faster than expected. Customer service at Tacoma pick up center were very polite, nice and quick. Kept notifying with tracking and vehicle location. Also no hidden extra charges, they just quoted me the amount and stuck with it."

"Transported my car from Seattle to Scottsdale. Good communication and car arrived with no issues. Only thing negative was that car wasn't picked up when I requested (a day later) and car arrived a day later than anticipated, but I was flexible so it was not a problem for me."

"The customer service was perfect. The car arrived a day early. I would recommend this service to anyone. I actually already recommended it to my neighbor who is shipping a car to Seattle as well."

"Shipped my car from Washington to Missouri. Everything went smoothly and the communication with the drivers was great. Would definitely recommend."

Door-to-door in Seattle

Door-to-Door Car Shipping in Seattle: Neighborhoods and ZIP Codes We Serve

Seattle is hills, water, and one interstate through the middle. The flat grids of Ballard, the Rainier Valley, and the Eastside suburbs are ordinary door-to-door territory for a 75-foot carrier; Queen Anne and Capitol Hill grades, the downtown core, and the islands are not, and there the handoff is a level arterial, a lot, or the mainland side of the ferry. Rain never stops a pickup; a snow day on the hills does.

Downtown & the center

Downtown · Belltown · South Lake Union · Capitol Hill · Queen Anne · First Hill · Pioneer Square

Queen Anne and Capitol Hill grades and the downtown one-ways: the driver meets you on Mercer, Denny, or a lot in SoDo.

North Seattle

Ballard · Fremont · Wallingford · Green Lake · Northgate · Lake City · Greenwood

Flat grids north of the Ship Canal: mostly direct pickups; the canal bridges are the constraint at rush hour.

West Seattle & the south

West Seattle · SoDo · Georgetown · Beacon Hill · Rainier Valley · Columbia City · White Center

SoDo and Georgetown are where carriers stage; West Seattle's hills meet on Fauntleroy or 35th.

The Eastside

Bellevue · Kirkland · Redmond · Sammamish · Issaquah · Mercer Island · Bothell

Wide suburban arterials off I-405 and SR-520; gated and hillside streets meet on the arterial.

South King County

Renton · Kent · Tukwila · SeaTac · Federal Way · Auburn · Burien

The Kent Valley warehouse belt along SR-167: the region's biggest truck staging area and the easiest pickups.

North suburbs & the islands

Shoreline · Lynnwood · Edmonds · Everett · Bainbridge Island · Vashon Island

Everett and Lynnwood are straightforward; carriers do not ride the ferries, so island pickups meet on the mainland side.

On-the-Ground Logistics

What Seattle Pickups Actually Look Like

Most handoffs are straightforward door-to-door pickups. These are the exceptions, and how the driver handles them.

Hills and the Ship Canal

Queen Anne and Capitol Hill grades and the downtown one-ways keep a 75-foot carrier off the core streets: the driver meets you on Mercer, Denny, or a lot in SoDo. North of the Ship Canal, Ballard and Green Lake's flat grids are direct pickups once the truck is across a bridge.

The ferries and the islands

Car carriers do not ride the Washington State Ferries. Bainbridge, Vashon, and Kitsap pickups meet on the mainland side, and the Eastside is reached over I-90 or SR-520; a Mercer Island or Kirkland address is a lake-bridge crossing the driver plans around rush hour.

The Kent Valley

Long-haul carriers stage in the Kent Valley warehouse belt along SR-167 and I-5 (Kent, Tukwila, Auburn), so South King County pickups dispatch fastest and the whole metro is served from there.

Rain, snow days, and the passes

Rain never stops a pickup; a snow day does, because Seattle's hills close and carriers wait for the melt. Eastbound loads cross Snoqualmie Pass on I-90, where chain requirements apply from November to April and a closure can add a day.

How it works

How does vehicle transport to and from Seattle work?

how does vehicle transport to and from Seattle work
  1. 1

    Get your car shipping quote

    Enter your pickup and delivery details and your Seattle 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. 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. 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.

Getting Ready

Before the carrier arrives in Seattle

Three things to handle between booking and pickup day. They take an hour in total and make both handoffs smooth.

1

Schedule in advance

Book 7–14 days ahead for the best rates, and 2–3 weeks during peak season, when carrier space is tightest.

2

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.

3

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 Seattle: How Long It Takes

Shipping a car to Seattle

Inbound Seattle auto transport ends at your door in Seattle or in Downtown & the center, North Seattle, West Seattle & the south. 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; Washington registration comes afterwards, and the Washington DMV links in the pickup section above cover that paperwork.

Shipping a car from Seattle

Outbound, Seattle 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 Washington; 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.

Service Type

Open or Enclosed Transport for Seattle?

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

Tips for shipping a car to or from Seattle

1

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.

2

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 Seattle address yourself, name a person you trust at booking.

3

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.

Types of Car Shipping Services in Seattle

Now, let's delve deeper into the types of car shipping services you can expect to find in Seattle.

Open Car Transport

Open car transport is the most common type of auto shipping. Here, your vehicle is transported on an open carrier. While this method doesn't offer protection from debris or weather conditions, it is a cost-effective option, making it the first choice for many customers.

Enclosed Car Transport

Enclosed transport means that your vehicle is shipped in an enclosed carrier, ensuring maximum protection from road debris and weather elements. Although enclosed carriers may cost a bit more, they provide enhanced security, making them an ideal choice for luxury, classic or rare vehicles.

Expedited car transport is the fastest shipping service offered by transport companies. It's ideal if you're on a tight schedule and need your car moved quickly. While the price for this service can be higher than others, the speed and convenience it provides is unmatched.

How to Save on Car Shipping in Seattle

Auto transport doesn't have to be exorbitantly expensive. With good planning and the right choices, you can save a significant amount of money on Seattle car shipping. The first step is gathering car shipping quotes from different auto transport companies. Established, reputable shipping companies may charge slightly more but provide better service, fewer potential hassles, and greater peace of mind. There's also a good chance you may find discounts. Some companies may offer lower rates for military equipment shipments, corporate relocation, or auto shipping during off-peak seasons.

Tips For Seattle Car Shipping Services

Here are few additional tips to help you save on auto transport.

  • Choose Open Transport: Enclosed carriers guarantee more protection and peace of mind but cost significantly more. For standard vehicles, open transport is a perfectly safe and much more economical alternative. Remember, the majority of car shipping is done via open trailers.
  • Be Flexible: If your schedule allows for flexibility, book auto transport for the fall or winter. Lower demand during these seasons often leads to lower prices.
  • Prep Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle is not carrying extra weight. Clean it out and make sure you have only a quarter tank of gas. This saves weight, hence the money too.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Seattle Car Transportation

Proper preparation of your vehicle is crucial for a smooth auto shipping process. Here are a few steps to minimize hassle and ensure safe delivery:

  • Car Inspection: Prior to handing your vehicle over to the shipping company, it should be thoroughly inspected for any pre-existing damage. This step is essential for the protection of both parties involved in the transaction.
  • Secure or Remove Loose Parts: Loose items such as spoilers, antennas, roof racks, and mirrors should either be secured or removed to prevent any damage during transport.
  • Maintenance Check: Checking fluid levels, tire pressure and charging the battery before a move can avoid unwelcome surprises at the other end.

Receiving Your Vehicle in Seattle

After your car is shipped to Seattle by RoadRunner Auto Transport, you'll meet the driver at the address you provided for final delivery. Make sure to have your driver's license and paperwork handy. Then, simply sign the delivery receipt to complete the shipping process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the vehicle transportation process.


Car carriers do not ride the ferries, so island pickups meet on the mainland side, usually near the Seattle or Fauntleroy terminals, or on the Kitsap side for Bainbridge. Everywhere else in the metro the flat grids and suburbs are direct pickups; the hills of Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and West Seattle meet the truck on the nearest level arterial. The driver confirms the spot with you by phone.
