 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Lela at Onyx was very responsive and gave the best value for transportation of my car. She clearly explained the terms for cash versus credit payments and sent  a quote within few minutes. Their quote was very reasonable compared to others. The quote also included insurance for your car.

The driver was courteous, picked and dropped the car on time. Because of the size of the truck you will need to drive your car about 5-8 miles  to their truck (it carries 8-9 cars) so in that sense it is not door to door service but I understand the restrictions because of narrow roads in neighborhoods.  Plan on having a ride once you drop. Same goes for pick up also. You get a better rate if you are flexible with picking and dropping dates. Don’t forget to remove EZ pass and such prior to dropping. If you pack the car make sure to cover contents with some blankets.

Overall, I have had good experience and would strongly recommend Onyx.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the years I've had several cars transported to Colorado, there are very few carriers that will come to this part of the US. Fortunately, I was put in contact with Onyx Auto Transport, they have provided shipping from the East Coast to Colorado and also another transport from Plano Texas. Both of these transports we're carefully monitored by Lela at dispatch, she immediately responded to any inquiries that I had about the process either by direct phone call or by text. Both transport drivers were very professional, and their rigs were carefully maintained.
Would highly recommend Onyx Auto Transport...

My car was picked up in Havre de Grace, MD and delivered to San Francisco, CA in excellent working condition. I had no problems and I was given frequent updates as to arrival time. I would not hesitate to use Onyx Auto Transport again. I am very satisfied with their
Professional Service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yes, I shipped a car from northern Virginia to Henderson, Nevada. Everything went well. The driver kept in touch. Let me know when he would be arriving to pick up the car. And call me and let me know when he was about an hour away to give me time to make sure I was there. And called me and let me know ahead of time when he would be here with the car. And called me again when he was about 45 minutes away. We're definitely recommend for any future halls

Philadelphia Door-to-Door Car Shipping, Planned Around You

In Philadelphia, convenient car shipping starts with a realistic pickup plan. Onyx Auto Transport arranges door-to-door vehicle shipping as close to your home, workplace, dealership, or other requested address as the transporter can safely and legally reach. You can move your vehicle across the country without organizing a long drive or taking it to a shipping terminal.

Center City, South Philadelphia, and older residential neighborhoods can present challenges for a large car carrier. One-way streets, tight turns, parked vehicles, and limited stopping space may make an accessible nearby meeting point the better option. Share those details with our team before pickup so the driver can plan a safe loading location.

Our auto transport company helps coordinate shipments to and from Philadelphia and surrounding communities. Whether you are moving out of Pennsylvania, returning from a seasonal stay, or buying a car from a distant seller, we match the transport option to your vehicle and keep the pickup and delivery arrangements clear.

Philadelphia Auto Transport Options for Your Vehicle

Choose the level of protection and scheduling flexibility that fits your shipment. Everyday vehicles commonly travel on open carriers; enclosed transport is available for valuable or specialty cars. Both can be coordinated as door-to-door service.

Open Auto Transport

Open carriers are a practical choice for everyday cars, SUVs, and pickups going to or from Philadelphia. The car travels on an open trailer alongside other vehicles. Ask our team about availability for your actual route and ready date.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Choose a covered trailer for a valuable classic, luxury, or specialty car. Enclosed shipping reduces exposure to weather and road debris. Share ground clearance and loading requirements so we can discuss suitable equipment and scheduling.

Door-to-Door Car Shipping

Have your vehicle collected and delivered near the addresses you choose. Philadelphia streets can limit a large truck’s access. When a direct stop is not safe or legal, coordinate a convenient nearby meeting point with the driver.

Cross-Country Car Shipping

Moving from Philadelphia to another part of the country? Let us arrange the vehicle transport while you plan your own travel. We coordinate the pickup window and delivery contact, with estimates based on the route and carrier schedule.

Classic Car Shipping

A collector car may need more planning than a daily driver. Tell us about its dimensions, clearance, condition, and any special handling instructions. We help you discuss enclosed transport and loading needs before the carrier is assigned.

Vehicle Shipping for Different Needs

We help with family moves, student vehicles, seasonal travel, and cars purchased out of state. For seller pickups, confirm release paperwork, keys, and the contact who will meet the driver before the collection date.

How to Ship a Car To or From Philadelphia

Give us your actual pickup and delivery locations, vehicle details, and preferred dates. We help you review the options and prepare for the inspections at pickup and delivery.

Get a Quote & Book Your Order

Request a quote with the exact pickup and delivery ZIP codes, vehicle details, and preferred pickup window. Review the transport option and payment terms before booking.

Vehicle Pickup at Your Location

Prepare your car and meet the assigned carrier at the agreed Philadelphia pickup point. Record its condition on the inspection report and keep a copy before the vehicle leaves.

Safe Delivery to Your Destination

Coordinate with the driver for delivery. Inspect the vehicle on arrival, compare its condition with the pickup report, and document any concerns before signing.

Getting Ready for a Philadelphia Pickup

Before pickup, remove loose belongings, disconnect or remove toll tags, and photograph the car’s condition. Keep your keys ready and report any starting issues, fluid leaks, modifications, or unusual ground clearance. The carrier needs accurate information to plan safe loading and the right equipment.

Think about where the truck can stop, not just where the car is parked. A narrow rowhouse block or busy downtown curb may not allow safe loading. Discuss a nearby meeting location if needed, and arrange for yourself or an authorized representative to attend the inspection and sign the pickup report.

Your Pickup Checklist

Receiving a Vehicle in Philadelphia

Confirm your delivery contact and explain any building, parking, or street restrictions before the car arrives. Apartment complexes, garages, and gated properties can require additional coordination. The driver will need a safe place to unload, and the recipient should be available for the delivery inspection.

Inspect the exterior in good light, compare it with the pickup condition report, and document any concern on the delivery paperwork before signing. If you are receiving a car from a dealership or private seller, also confirm that the seller has released the vehicle and provided the keys and required documents.

Your Delivery Checklist

How Much Does Philadelphia Car Shipping Cost?

Philadelphia car shipping prices depend on the destination, vehicle size, condition, carrier type, and timing. A short regional shipment is different from a move to the West Coast. Quotes should use exact pickup and delivery ZIP codes so the price reflects your route rather than a general city average.

Open auto transport is usually the lower-cost choice for standard vehicles. Enclosed shipping costs more because it uses specialized equipment. Non-running cars, large pickups, difficult loading access, and busy seasonal demand can also affect the quote. Compare car shipping companies using the same vehicle details, dates, and payment terms.

Get a Quote for Your Philadelphia Vehicle Shipment

Tell us where the vehicle starts, where it needs to go, and when it can be ready. Choose open or enclosed transport and include the correct vehicle information. Call our team if the vehicle has special loading needs or you are unsure about truck access.

Factors that affect pricing

What Affects Your Philadelphia Auto Transport Price?

A useful quote explains what is being shipped and how it will be collected and delivered. These factors help you understand your price and compare an auto transport company’s service beyond the headline rate.

Distance

The distance between your pickup and delivery locations can affect the total cost. Longer routes usually require more fuel, time, and carrier resources for transportation.

Vehicle Size

Larger vehicles generally need more space on the carrier and may weigh more. Their size can affect loading, available carrier space, and overall transportation costs.

Transport Type

Your choice between open and enclosed transport can change the price. Open transport is commonly more affordable, while enclosed transport provides additional protection during your vehicle’s journey.

Vehicle Condition

A running vehicle is usually easier to load and unload. If your car cannot move on its own, special equipment or additional handling may increase transportation costs.

Season and Demand

Shipping costs can change during busy seasons when more people need vehicle transportation. Higher demand and limited carrier availability may affect the rate for your move.

Pickup and Delivery Location

Your specific pickup and delivery areas can influence pricing. Remote locations, difficult access, or limited carrier routes may require extra planning and affect the overall transportation cost.

Why Choose Onyx as Your Philadelphia Car Shipping Company?

We coordinate vehicle shipping for Philadelphia residents, relocating families, students, car buyers, and businesses. You can choose open or enclosed transport and get help planning access at both ends. Our team focuses on clear communication so you understand the pickup window, carrier assignment, and delivery arrangements.

Your shipment is handled by a licensed, insured carrier. Ask your coordinator about the assigned carrier’s cargo coverage and any exclusions that apply to your vehicle. Keep copies of the pickup and delivery condition reports, and inspect the car carefully before signing at each end.

No payment is charged until a carrier is assigned. The discounted cash option uses a deposit after assignment and a balance due at delivery; the full card option uses one payment after assignment. Review your selected payment terms before booking and confirm accepted delivery payment methods with the carrier.

Philadelphia Car Shipping FAQs

Can you collect my car at my Philadelphia home?

Door-to-door service reaches as close as safely and legally possible. Large transporters may not fit narrow blocks or streets with limited stopping space. When necessary, you and the driver agree on a safe nearby meeting point.

What affects Philadelphia car shipping prices?

Distance, pickup and delivery ZIP codes, vehicle size, running condition, open or enclosed service, season, and scheduling all affect the quote. Accurate shipment details help our car shipping company provide a relevant price.

How long will my Philadelphia shipment take?

Timing depends on the destination and carrier schedule, plus traffic and weather. Ask for an estimate for your specific route. The available pickup window and the time spent in transit are separate parts of the schedule.

Which is better: open or enclosed auto transport?

Open shipping is a common economical choice for everyday cars, SUVs, and pickups. Enclosed service offers a covered trailer for classic, luxury, or specialty vehicles. Tell us about ground clearance, value, and loading needs before choosing.

Is payment required upfront?

No charge is processed until a carrier is assigned. The discounted cash option has a deposit after assignment and a balance due at delivery. The full card option is a one-time payment after assignment.

Can you ship a car from a Philadelphia dealership?

Yes. Confirm the seller has released the car, supplied the keys, and identified the pickup contact. Tell us the vehicle’s condition and any release instructions so collection can be coordinated.
