I normally don’t review but I felt compelled to because everything went so smoothly from start to finish. Vlad was exceptionally professional in communicating with me every step of the way when I had questions. Car was transported in an enclosed trailer from MI to CA. I was more worried than usual as my new car was a bit pricier. The pickup included tons of pictures which put me at ease and also the carrier they used was very communicative as well, and even included GPS tracking data as they got close. I wouldn't hesitate to use CarHauler247 again in the future. The definitely put a good name to the car transport industry.

Landing Pad LLC (Carhauler247) provided awesome service. I had never shipped a car before and did not know what to expect. Being able to set your own price is so much less stressful than the bait and switch tactics I experienced with other brokers. Communication was easy and any questions were quickly answered via phone and text. The pictures provided at pickup and gps tracking kept me at ease with this unfamiliar process. My car was delivered safely by a reputable carrier that had a long history of positive reviews. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to trust landing pad LLC with my shipment.

It was my first time shipping my car across states, so I naturally had a lot of questions and felt a bit uneasy about the process. Vlad made everything as seamless and smooth as possible. He stayed on top of communication the entire time and was always genuine and transparent about the service and pricing. I really appreciated how promptly he kept both me and the carrier updated. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable car shipping service, and I would definitely use their service again. Thank you again, Vlad!

Shipping my Car from California

  • Notify the California DMV

    • Complete a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (NRL) online or via mail. This ensures you are no longer held liable for the vehicle's registration fees or any incidents involving the car after you leave California.
    • The NRL form can be completed on the California DMV website.
  • Register Your Vehicle in the New State

    Once you move, you’ll need to register your vehicle in your new state and obtain new license plates. The exact process and timeline vary by state, but most require you to complete registration within 30-90 days of establishing residency.

  • Keep or Dispose of Your California Plates

    • If the new state requires you to surrender your old plates when registering your vehicle, you can hand them over at the new state's DMV.
    • If not, you can keep your California plates as a souvenir.
