Car carrier on the highway near South San Francisco

Shipping in South San Francisco

The sign on the hill says it plainly: South San Francisco, The Industrial City. For car shipping, that's a real advantage. The streets east of US-101 near Oyster Point and the biotech campuses are wide and built for trucks, and SFO is next door.

Lots of our South City customers work in biotech and are relocating to Boston, San Diego or Raleigh. Others are families moving out of the Bay Area, or people taking delivery of a car they bought out of state. With so much freight moving through here, carriers are nearby most days.

We keep it simple: a locked-in price, a licensed and insured carrier, pickup at your door or a nearby spot, and updates until the car is delivered.

Typical prices for a running sedan. SUVs and pickups run a little higher. Season, timing and the exact address all matter, and the locked-in quote you get from us is the price you pay.

West of US-101, neighborhoods like Westborough, Sunshine Gardens and Buri Buri have hilly residential streets where a carrier may not fit. The fix is easy: meet on El Camino Real, Westborough Boulevard or a nearby lot. East of the freeway, the wide streets around the business parks make for some of the fastest loading anywhere on the Peninsula.

If you're flying out of SFO the same day, schedule the pickup a day earlier. It takes the stress out of moving day.

  1. 01

    Meet east of 101 if you can

    The wide industrial streets near Oyster Point are perfect for loading, and they're quiet on weekends.

  2. 02

    Flying out? Ship a day early

    Don't try to hand over a car and catch a flight on the same morning.

  3. 03

    Relocating with biotech? Get an invoice

    We provide itemized invoices for relocation reimbursement.

  4. 04

    Hillside home? Use El Camino

    El Camino Real and Westborough Boulevard make easy meeting points for the western neighborhoods.

Services

Three ways to ship in South San Francisco.

How it works

Four steps. Zero guesswork.

  1. 1

    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. 2

    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. 3

    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. 4

    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!
