Car Shipping for College Move-Ins
Whether you’re moving across the country for college or helping your kid move back for the semester, Preowned Auto Logistics is perfect for taking some of the stress out of this busy time in your life. Check out our services for car shipping for college move-ins.
When Should You Book Car Shipping for College Move-Ins?
Because the majority of college move-ins happen in August, you’ll want to schedule your move far in advance. This will give our team plenty of time to arrange for the perfect carrier for your vehicle. You’ll even qualify for discounts when you book your shipping so far in advance.
Preowned Auto Logistics can make accommodations for last-minute shipments, but they are more expensive and there is less flexibility.
What is the Busy Season for College Move-Ins
The busy season for college move-ins are the months of August and September. We often have a lot of college students’ cars to ship, and this also happens to be the time for a lot of corporate relocations and other car shipments. We recommend booking your shipment as far out as possible, even up to a year ahead of time. Booking so far out gives our team ample time to arrange for the perfect truck and driver to handle your delivery.
Is Shipping Your Car the Best Option for College Students?
Safety
Any time you drive your vehicle you run the risk of encountering dangers on the road. These risks include reckless drivers, debris, animals, and poor weather conditions that can all lead to an increased risk of an accident. When you ship your car with us, our team of professional drivers will take extra care to ensure your car arrives in pristine condition every time.
Additionally, shipping the car is the safest for your student during move-in because it ensures everyone arrives safe and sound.
Cost
Depending on how far away the university is from home, you stand a fair chance to save a lot of money shipping your car as opposed to driving. Whenever you drive long distances, you’ll need to budget for fuel, lodging, and food in addition to unexpected expenses like detours, tolls, and more.

“PreOwned Auto Logistics shipped my car from MA to FL. If you need a car shipped this is the place to call. From start to finish I felt I was taken care of. Lisa was wonderful, giving my the full no-nonsense firm pricing and details of what would take place. Turn around time for pick up and delivery was fantastic. Once the car was picked up, the driver was in communication giving me his ETA. It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend PreOwned Auto Logistics.”
