Shipping in Irvine

The local lowdown.

Irvine is about as planned as a city gets. Villages like Woodbridge, Northwood, Turtle Rock and the new Great Park neighborhoods all have wide streets and clear layouts. The I-5, the I-405 and the toll roads get you anywhere quickly. For a car carrier, it's a dream, as long as you can get through the gate.

Our Irvine customers include UC Irvine students and faculty, corporate relocations from the Spectrum and the business district, families moving to Texas or Arizona, and plenty of people taking delivery of a car bought out of state.

You'll get a locked-in price, a licensed and insured carrier, and a specialist who helps you sort out the HOA and gate details ahead of time.

Many Irvine villages are gated or have HOA rules about commercial vehicles. A quick call to your association, or a guest code for the driver, usually solves it. Otherwise, we'll meet at the village entrance or on a main road like Culver, Jeffrey or Alton Parkway. Apartment communities near UCI and the Spectrum often have similar rules.

If your employer is paying for the move, ask for an itemized invoice. Students heading home for summer can save up to 10% with our student discount.

  1. 01

    Sort out the gate in advance

    Get a guest code or let your HOA know, or meet the driver at the village entrance.

  2. 02

    Students save up to 10%

    UCI students can ask for the student discount when getting a quote.

  3. 03

    Relocating? Get an invoice

    We'll send an itemized invoice for your employer or relocation company.

  4. 04

    Remove toll-road transponders

    Take out your FasTrak so toll roads on the carrier's route aren't billed to you.

How it works

Four steps. Zero guesswork.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!
