For individuals
Ship your car without driving it there yourself
Pick the reason you are shipping. The answer changes depending on whether you are relocating, buying out of state, heading to school, or chasing the weather.
Clutch Auto Transport ships vehicles for individuals across all 48 continental states, door to door, on either open or enclosed carriers. You can get a price online in about a minute without speaking to anyone. Clutch is part of the Dircks family of companies, which has been moving households and businesses since 1990, so the same carrier vetting and insurance standards used on business accounts apply to a single personal vehicle.

What we commit to
The promises behind the price
Every carrier is vetted
Active operating authority, current cargo insurance verified at source, and FMCSA safety history checked before a carrier is ever assigned to your vehicle.
We handle the claim
In the rare event of damage, Clutch manages the claims process from first notice to resolution, coordinating directly with the carrier and the insurer. You do not chase it.
You can see the status
Business accounts track every vehicle in the Clutch Transport Portal. No calling dispatch to find out where a car is.
A real point of contact
One person who knows your account, not a general queue that restarts the conversation every time you call.
Why are you shipping?
Start with your situation
Relocating for Work
You have a relocation package and you are handling the move yourself. The car is one line of it, and it is usually the last one figured out.

Buying a Car Out of State
You found the right car. It is just in the wrong state. We pick it up from the dealer, seller, or auction.

Ship a Car to Another State
No special situation. You just need the car to end up somewhere else, safely and on a known timeline.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Can I put belongings in the car?
As a rule, no. Carriers are licensed and insured to haul vehicles, not household goods, and items inside the car are generally not covered. Some carriers allow a small amount of personal property in the trunk, under roughly 100 pounds, but this must be agreed in advance. If you need household goods moved too, Clutch is part of Dircks, which does exactly that.
Do I have to be there for pickup and delivery?
You, or someone you authorize who is at least 18, needs to be present at both ends to walk the vehicle with the driver and sign the inspection report. That report is what protects you if there is ever a damage question.
Door to door means my actual driveway?
As close as legally and physically possible. A full-size car hauler is around 75 feet long, so narrow residential streets, low branches, and HOA restrictions sometimes mean meeting at a nearby shopping center or other open lot. The driver will coordinate that with you.
Does the car need to run?
Not necessarily. Inoperable vehicles can be shipped, but they require a carrier with a winch and cost more, so tell us upfront rather than at pickup.
