Online car buying changed. Delivery should too.

You found the car on Carvana, Vroom, or CarMax. You found a private sale on Cars.com. Or you scored a deal off Facebook Marketplace in a city eight hours away. You did not buy it to fly out and drive back. You bought it to show up in your driveway.

Whipshipper picks up from any seller. Carvana hubs, Vroom delivery centers, CarMax lots, dealer trades, private sellers, auction lots. We coordinate with the seller, schedule the pickup, photograph the car at pickup, and deliver to your driveway with photos at drop off.

If the car was already delivered to a Carvana hub or a regional center but you want it at your door instead of taking a Lyft to pick it up, we handle the last mile too. No store visit. No rental car. No taking a day off work.

Buying online, our tips

Six things that smooth out online car buying.

Confirm seller pickup

Ask the seller what their pickup process is. Most are ready in 1 to 3 business days after sale.

Get the VIN early

VIN locks the quote. Sellers give it on the listing or after deposit. We need it to confirm.

Buyer protection

Carvana 7 day, Vroom return policies, CarMax 30 day, know your window. Schedule pickup quickly to use it.

Title and lien check

Make sure title and lien are clear before the carrier shows up. We can pick up after, but inspection delays delivery.

Photo at pickup

Carrier photographs the car at pickup. You see it as soon as the truck rolls.

Plan delivery time

Be home for the delivery window. If you cannot, send someone over 18 with ID to sign the BOL.

Frequently asked questions

Can you pick up from Carvana, Vroom, or CarMax?

Yes. We pick up from any Carvana hub, Vroom delivery center, CarMax lot, or directly from a delivery in progress if you change destinations.

What about a private seller on Cars.com or Facebook?

Yes. We coordinate with private sellers, schedule pickup, and confirm title and key are ready before the carrier arrives.

Do I need to meet the seller?

No. We coordinate with the seller directly. As long as title transfer and payment are done, we handle pickup.

How long does delivery take?

Pickup is 1 to 3 days from booking. Transit is 2 to 10 days depending on distance. Total: usually under 2 weeks.

Is the car insured during shipping?

Yes. Carrier cargo coverage from pickup to delivery. Certificate available before the carrier shows up.

What if the seller is not ready for pickup?

We re schedule with the seller and update your ETA. No charge for one re schedule, additional re schedules may carry a small fee.

Can I change the delivery address mid transit?

Yes, within reason. Small address changes within the same metro are free. Larger changes may be priced as a re route.

Do you cover Carvana 7 day or CarMax 30 day returns?

Yes. We can pick up the returned car from your driveway and deliver it back to the seller's nearest location.

What if the car needs to be inspected first?

We can schedule a pre purchase inspection at a shop near pickup before the carrier loads. Common on private sales.

How do I track my delivery?

Live GPS in your dashboard, plus SMS updates at pickup, halfway, and 2 hours before delivery.

Every auto transport service we run

Auto transport is not one product. A dealer moving forty units off an auction lane, a collector shipping a numbers matching car across the country, and a family sending one sedan ahead of a move are three different jobs that happen to use the same highways. They need different trailers, different insurance limits, different loading equipment, and different scheduling. Quoting all three the same way is how customers end up with a truck that cannot legally carry their vehicle. Pick the line below that matches what you are actually moving, and the quote comes back against the right equipment the first time.

By transport type

By vehicle

By who is shipping

Not sure which one fits? Call (888) 780-6207 and describe the vehicle and the route. A dispatcher will tell you which equipment it needs and what the lane is running, or start with an instant quote and adjust from there.

Read before you book

Most complaints in this industry trace back to something the customer was never told: that the first quote was a placeholder, that the broker on the phone is not the company driving the truck, or that personal items in the trunk are not covered by cargo insurance. None of that is complicated once somebody explains it. These are the explainers we send customers before they book, written to be useful whether or not you ship with us.
