Car shipping to and from Delaware
Moving to Delaware, leaving it, or shipping a car within the state? Post the trip once and verified carriers and brokers send written quotes to your private dashboard. No spam calls.
Shipping a car in Delaware
Delaware is small and sits right on I-95 between Philadelphia and Baltimore, so carriers pass through constantly. Dover Air Force Base brings regular military moves, and beach towns such as Rehoboth fill up with seasonal residents in summer.
Main routes: I-95 and US-13.
Cities we serve include Wilmington, Dover and Newark, plus every other town in Delaware: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Delaware
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Delaware?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Delaware DMV. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
