from Indianapolis to her South Carolina college
used SGT transport to deliver my daughters car from Indianapolis to her South Carolina college. They did a great job finding a carrier to transport after the first 2 declined. called them on Thursday and the car was delivered by Sunday. Monica was most helpful when I had questions regarding billing. Would recommend and will definitely use them again
Daniyah Morrisset
To South Carolina
Great Experience with SGT Auto Transport! SGT Auto Transport did an awesome job with my husband’s car. We just moved to South Carolina for his first duty station, and they made the whole process super easy. They picked up the car within the 3-day window they promised, and they’re really military-friendly—we even got a nice discount! The dispatcher was great, kept us in the loop about where the car was, and coordinated a drop-off spot that was super convenient. Overall, super happy with the service. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future. Thanks so much, SGT Auto Transport!

Why Should You Choose Us? What Makes SGT Auto Transport one the best Car Shipping companies in South Carolina?

We like to think there are plenty of reasons to pick SGT Auto Transport for your vehicle shipping needs:

One thing that customers appreciate is feeling valued and appreciated.

Without our customers, we wouldn’t have a reason to be in business at all; the people that we transport vehicles for are the reason why we go to work every day.

We put customers first in everything we do, and we want them to feel empowered and connected to the process.

That’s why we’ve invested in technology that can enhance service and efficiency, why we have a network of over 25,000 transport drivers, and why we make professionalism and service a top priority at every level of our organization, from admin to sales to dispatch to support to the drivers out in the field. 

Types of Vehicle Transportation Services we provide in South Carolina

One thing is for sure in this business: there’s no universal fit and no one-size-fits-all solution for shipping a car across country. That’s why we’ve worked on several different options for auto transport:

Open car transport: you’ve seen the double-decker auto transport trucks that service dealerships, and that’s what open car transport is about. Your vehicle shares the ride with several others for efficient routing; while it does leave your car exposed to the elements, it’s the most budget-friendly and popular option for auto logistics. 

Enclosed car transport: this is the next level up as far as security and protection. Enclosed car transport is a good idea for rare, high-dollar or specialty vehicles (such as exotic supercars with low ground clearance); your car is loaded into a closed trailer and locked in for the entire trip, away from prying eyes and protected against the elements. Enclosed car transport does come at an enhanced cost. 

Guaranteed pickup service: we want to make the process easy and convenient for you, and guaranteed pickup (and delivery) is your assurance that your transport driver will be at your location at a preset time and date. 

Cross country auto transport: mileage is a big part of any cost calculation for logistics, and shipping a car across country can get expensive. The good news is that cost/mile actually starts to drop for very long runs, making cross country auto transport a solid value. 

Express car shipping: it’s always best if we can have a couple of weeks notice to line up your auto shipping job, but we know that’s not always doable. Expedited car shipping is available for last-minute needs. 

White glove shipping: designed for very rare and valuable cars, white glove shipping comes with an enhanced level of attention and care for the vehicle, along with extra monitoring and security and regular check-ins while the driver is en route. 

Prepare Your Vehicle for a cross-country Auto Transportation to or from South Carolina

When it’s time to get your vehicle ready to go on its journey, here are some suggestions:

Don’t forget that your transport driver needs a copy of your car’s ignition key. 

Please ensure that your car’s tires are all inflated, the battery is fully charged and headlights and taillights work.

Please inspect your vehicle for any fluid leaks: coolant, motor oil or transmission, power steering or brake fluid.

If you live in a city or suburb with crowded, congested streets, it might be impossible (or even illegal) for a commercial transport truck to navigate them. If that’s the case, think about a better place to connect with your driver, such as an open parking lot. 

Please remove any detachable external accessories like cargo boxes, bike racks or antennas. 

We do ship non-running vehicles, such as project cars that need to go to a specialist mechanic in some other part of the country. If your car can’t start, run and drive under its own power, though, please let us know in advance since special equipment and processes are involved. 

DOT regulations prohibit a vehicle and personal items being shipped together in the same trailer; however, you can ship up to 100 pounds of personal stuff if it’s secured in the vehicle’s trunk or cargo area.
