Shipping in Daly City
The local lowdown.
Daly City calls itself the Gateway to the Peninsula, and for car shipping that's accurate. I-280 and SR-1 run right through it, US-101 is minutes away, and San Francisco is just across the line. Carriers coming in and out of the city pass by constantly.
The housing is what makes Daly City distinctive. Westlake's rows of mid-century homes, steep driveways in St. Francis Heights and narrow hillside streets mean a big carrier can't always stop outside your door. We plan the meeting spot ahead of time, usually a wide street or a shopping center lot a few minutes away.
Whether you're moving out of state, sending a car to college or receiving one you bought online, you'll get a locked-in price and a licensed, insured carrier.

Local know-how
Daly City, practically.
The big commercial areas around Serramonte and Westlake Shopping Center, plus the wide roads near the I-280 interchanges, make easy meeting points. The hillside neighborhoods, Crocker and parts of Bayshore have tighter streets where a carrier can't turn around. Your driver will call ahead to settle on the best spot.
Coastal fog and salty air are a fact of life here. They won't harm your car in transit, but if it's headed somewhere dry, a quick wash and an undercarriage rinse after delivery is a good habit.
- 01
Steep driveway? Bring the car down
Park on the street or at the agreed meeting spot before the driver arrives. Low cars especially shouldn't be dragged up steep ramps.
- 02
Use a big lot near I-280
Shopping center lots near the freeway interchanges are the easiest places to load.
- 03
Rinse it after delivery
Heading somewhere dry? A wash and undercarriage rinse gets rid of the Daly City salt air.
- 04
Close to SF? Same-week pickups
Because so many carriers serve San Francisco, Daly City pickups often come together quickly.
Services
Three ways to ship in Daly City.
- 01
Open transport
The everyday choice for Daly City commuters. It's frequent and affordable thanks to the nearby San Francisco lanes.
- 02
Enclosed transport
For classics, EVs and anything you'd rather keep out of the coastal mist on a long run.
- 03
Door-to-door
Curbside where the street allows, and a nearby lot where it doesn't. Your driver confirms the spot first.
How it works
Four steps. Zero guesswork.
- 01
Get your price
Tell us the route, the vehicle and the first day it can go. A specialist calls back within two minutes with a locked-in price, not a teaser rate.
- 02
Book your window
Pick a pickup window that suits you. We match the load to a licensed, insured carrier on your lane and send you the driver’s details.
- 03
Pickup and inspection
The driver walks around the car with you, notes its condition on the Bill of Lading, takes photos and loads it. You keep a signed copy.
- 04
Track it, then sign off
Follow the trip with updates from dispatch. At delivery you check the car against the pickup report before you sign. That’s it.

I had an excellent experience with Nova Auto Transport. Their communication was fantastic from beginning to end. Leo updated me throughout the entire process. They were able to coordinate directly with the body shop on my behalf. It took a big weight off my shoulders knowing they were handling the arrangements. My car arrived safely. The drivers also spoke english well, and there were no problems with the drop off. Highly recommended, and it's a pleasure to leave this review for them.

Best. Service. Ever. This was my first time shipping a car — and my first car ever — so I was honestly nervous, especially after hearing about so many scams. But the entire process was amazing. Communication was top-notch — every time I texted, I got a quick and helpful response with an update on my car. The delivery was smooth, professional, and right on time. I’m so happy to have my car safely with me at college now. Thank you all so much for making this experience stress-free and perfect!
