The short version

If a car is going anywhere in America, there's a good chance a carrier is leaving Los Angeles for that same place this week. The ports of LA and Long Beach, the 5, the 10, the 15 and the 40 make LA the starting point for more car carriers than anywhere else on the West Coast. That keeps pickup windows short and prices competitive.

We ship for every kind of Angeleno: people moving to Austin, Phoenix or New York, studio workers on long location jobs, students at UCLA and USC heading home, snowbirds, and collectors sending a classic to a show. We also bring a lot of cars into LA for buyers who found the right one three states away.

Whatever the reason, it starts with a locked-in price and ends with your car at the curb.

LA is huge, and pickup logistics change by neighborhood. In the flats of the Valley, the South Bay, Mid-City and most of the Eastside, a carrier can usually reach your block. The Hollywood Hills, Laurel and Coldwater canyons, Mount Washington and the winding streets above Silver Lake are another matter. We'll meet you down on a main road like Sunset, Ventura or Glendale Boulevard.

Timing matters just as much. Early mornings and midday avoid the worst of the 405, the 101 and the 10. Many apartment buildings have permit-only street parking, so agreeing on the spot in advance saves everyone a ticket.

  1. 01

    Canyon or hills address? Meet on the boulevard

    Sunset, Ventura and other main roads are safer and quicker than tight hillside streets.

  2. 02

    Book an early or midday pickup

    Avoid the 7 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. rush on the 405, the 101 and the 10.

  3. 03

    Watch permit parking

    If your street is permit-only, agree on a legal loading spot so the car doesn't get ticketed while it waits.

  4. 04

    Snowbird or round trip? Ask about savings

    Heading east for the season and coming back in spring? Round-trip and snowbird discounts save up to 10%.

Services

Three ways to ship in Los Angeles.

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!
