Hands down the best transport company. Customer service is 11/10. I don't have to stress about pick-up and delivery because their online tracking system also keeps me updated on my shipments. They take great care of my cars. Their pricing is competitive which saves me money compared to other options in the area. Rite Way is my go-to choice for all transport, and I highly recommend them for a stress-free experience!!!

I live in MI,and I purchased a car totally online from Texas. 1st time doing this. The dealer recommended Rite Way to me, there were other companies that was cheaper,but I went with dealer recommendation, and Iam glad I did. I spoke with Jason and told him what I was shipping and he gave me a quote, and told me everything that I could expect and what was the process. long story short i talked with Jason on Dec 8th, and my car was picked up from TX on Dec 9th, and I had my vehicle Dec 12th in MI. no damage, everthing in pristine condition when received.A+++++++ company with no issues. Will definetely use again for future shipping needs

Car shipping in California

Transporting your vehicle to or from California

California has so much to offer—glorious weather, quintessential dining, iconic beaches and a relaxed culture that makes it easy to enjoy it all. The climate is one of the main draws to California, but temperatures vary more than you think. Coastal areas are generally warm almost all year while the Central Valley can hit highs in the 90s in the summer and the mid 50s in the winter.

With nearly 300 state and national parks, stunning coastlines and plenty of urban hot spots, thousands of retirees, seasonal travelers, vacationers, families and business professionals come to California every year. Many people bring their vehicles to better explore the state. It’s easier and more affordable than you may think to transport your car to California and it even offers surprising benefits!

What to consider when shipping a car in California

What is your origin city? What type of vehicle are you shipping? What trailer options are best? There are several factors to consider when transporting your car to or from California. Find out more about how car transport works now.

You may also consider leveraging the expertise of an auto transport broker. A reputable broker offers personalized service and works with you through every step of your vehicle’s move. To spot a quality broker, look for positive customer reviews—the more the better! Also take into account how long the company has been in business, if they have a large and reliable network of auto carriers, have a top rating from the Better Business Bureau and hold the proper industry licenses.

Choose the best California auto transport company

Brokers will also help you determine the best company to move your vehicle to or from California that will meet your needs and work within your timeline and budget.
