The best time to ship a vehicle from Detroit is during the spring or fall, as there is generally less demand and the weather conditions aren’t too extreme. Summer tends to be the busiest (and often most expensive), while winter can bring weather-related delays.

We recommend scheduling your transport at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (summer and holidays). However, we also offer expedited services for customers needing immediate pickup and delivery.
