Yes. Wildfire provides nationwide auto relocation, including coast-to-coast moves. Door-to-door pickup and delivery are available when access allows, with coordinator updates from booking through delivery.

All of our transporters are insured to cover your vehicle in transport. We also recommend keeping your own vehicle insurance for glass damage, acts of God, and road debris.

We require transporters to carry a minimum of $100,000 in insurance. Review and sign the destination inspection, noting any marks or concerns at delivery. Notify your coordinator within 24 hours to start a claim. Personal items are never insured.

Do not put personal items in your car except a securely attached child car seat. DOT rules prohibit personal cargo on trucks licensed for automobiles. Damaged personal items—or damage they cause—are your responsibility.

You do not have to be present, but someone 18 or older you designate must be there to inspect the vehicle and sign the release on your behalf.

Keep about 1/8–1/4 tank of gas. Remove personal items as if selling the vehicle. Clean the exterior for accurate inspection. Maintain proper fluid levels. Remove non-factory items like racks and antennas, and remove toll transponders. You’ll get more prep details after booking.

Open carrier is the most common and cost-effective option—your vehicle rides exposed to weather and road debris. Enclosed carrier uses a trailer with a roof and sides for stronger protection and is often preferred for low-clearance, vintage, or higher-value vehicles. We can quote both so you can compare.

Yes. We coordinate account-to-account and lot-to-lot commercial shipments when sites allow transporter access. Your coordinator confirms pickup and delivery details for each commercial location.

Price depends on distance, open vs enclosed equipment, vehicle size and condition (operable or not), timing, and route demand. Guaranteed dates or specialty equipment can change the quote. Request a quote with accurate year, make, model, and modifications for a firm number.

Share pickup and delivery locations, preferred dates, and vehicle details online or by phone. Your coordinator confirms the quote, books with a vetted transporter, and stays in touch through pickup, transit, and delivery. Payment for personal shipments is typically collected once the vehicle is loaded.

We accept all major credit cards. Your coordinator will call once the vehicle is loaded for payment. You’ll receive a receipt and invoice after payment is processed.

Your quote should not change unless details differ from what was provided—for example if the vehicle does not start, stop, or steer; has lifts, caps, racks, or oversized tires; is taller than 80 inches; has under 5 inches of ground clearance; or needs a guaranteed pickup or delivery that may require a flatbed.
