Professional and Stress-Free Transport
Tiger Transport was recommended to me while shopping for an Auto transport company. Their quote was competitive but their process and personal communication was professional. I chose Tiger, although they weren't the lowest price. Chris handled the details of my transport from Las Vegas to Sarasota FL, seamlessly. Chris kept in constant communication with me to keep me aware of the pick up, transport and delivery schedules. read more...A year ago

WHAT IS CAR DEALER SHIPPING?
Car dealer shipping is a professional auto transport service designed specifically for car dealerships that need to move inventory quickly and efficiently between auctions, dealer lots, and customer delivery locations. This service helps dealerships maintain inventory flow, reduce holding time, and respond to market demand without relying on individual vehicle moves.
Dealerships commonly use open car shipping for fast, cost-effective inventory transfers, while enclosed car shipping is available for luxury, exotic, or high-value vehicles. For longer-distance inventory moves, state-to-state car shipping provides consistent, reliable transport across regions.
HOW LONG DOES CAR DEALER SHIPPING TAKE?
At Tiger Auto Transport, car dealer shipping timelines are planned around route distance, inventory volume, carrier availability, and dealership delivery priorities. Because dealer shipments often involve moving multiple vehicles between auctions, dealership locations, and distribution hubs, transit times may vary based on scheduling flexibility and load coordination. Below is a realistic overview of what dealerships can expect when using car dealer shipping services.
Typical Transit Windows
• Short & Mid-Range Moves: 3–7 business days • Long-Distance State-to-State Routes: 7–10 business days
- Dealer vehicles moving between major metro areas, auction lanes, and commercial corridors often ship faster due to high carrier availability. Dealerships located in areas with restricted truck access may require nearby meeting points to ensure smooth pickup and delivery.
Sample Route Timelines
• Regional (Under 600 Mi): Georgia to Tennessee — Around 2 Days
• Mid-Range (600–1,400 Mi): Texas to Illinois — Approximately 4–6 Days
• Long Distance (1,800+ Mi): California to Florida — Typically 8–12 Days
Car Dealer Shipping vs. Standard Auto Transport
While standard auto transport focuses on individual shipments, car dealer shipping prioritizes volume coordination, predictable delivery windows, and inventory-based routing. Most dealerships rely on open car shipping for fast, cost-effective inventory transfers. Multi-location inventory moves are commonly supported through state-to-state car shipping, helping dealerships maintain consistent stock availability nationwide.
What Can Impact Delivery Time
- • Weather conditions or seasonal demand
- • Traffic congestion or route adjustments
- • DOT-regulated driver hours and rest periods
- • Pickup or delivery locations with restricted truck access
Tips to Avoid Delays
- • Reserve early during peak seasons like snowbird relocations
- • Stay flexible with pickup and delivery windows
- • Choose Door To Door Car shipping near accessible streets

How do I book a reservation?
Simply contact us at (855) 720-5244 or use our online calculator to get an instant quote and make a reservation.
How much does it cost to ship my vehicle?
Several factors affect the shipping cost, such as the year, make, and model of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is running, the time of year, and the weight of the vehicle.
How long will it take to book a driver?
It typically takes about 1 to 3 business days to book a driver from your initial available pickup date. However, the shipping timeline can fluctuate depending on the season and specific locations.
How long will it take to deliver my vehicle?
The average delivery time is approximately 1 day for every 300 miles. However, factors such as the driver's schedule, road conditions, weather, and other variables can affect actual delivery time.
Can I put personal items in my vehicle?
Yes, you can place up to 100lbs of personal items in the trunk of your vehicle or in the back of your SUV trunk, below the window line. Items must be secured and won't be covered by insurance. Avoid placing valuables or fragile items in the vehicle during transport.
Does someone need to be present for pick-up and delivery?
Yes, someone must be present to release the vehicle at pickup and sign the inspection report. This person can be anyone over 18 years of age.
How far in advance should I schedule my transport?
We recommend scheduling about 10 days before your first available pickup date to ensure optimal pricing and timing. However, we accommodate last-minute requests frequently.
Do you offer door-to-door service?
Yes. The driver will aim to get as close to your door as legally and safely possible. If access is limited due to street width, low trees, or regulations, pickup or delivery may occur at a nearby open space like a grocery store parking lot.
Can you guarantee the pick-up and delivery dates?
No company can guarantee exact dates. If anyone does — buyer beware. We do, however, provide accurate estimates based on route and driver availability, and our team keeps you updated throughout the process.
What is the difference between Open Transport and Enclosed Transport?
Open transport loads your vehicle onto a 10-car trailer, exposed to the elements — it's the most common and affordable method. Enclosed transport places your vehicle inside a covered trailer for extra protection, ideal for classic, restored, or luxury cars.
Is my vehicle insured during transportation?
Yes. By law, all carriers must carry insurance that covers your vehicle during transit. The driver's insurance covers damage caused by their negligence.
How do I pay for auto shipping?
A minimum $200 deposit is typically required at booking. The balance is paid on delivery by cash or cashier's check. Full prepayment by credit/debit card, bank transfer, Venmo, CashApp, or PayPal is also accepted.
