Shipping a car in California
California has strict emissions rules: vehicles moved into the state for registration need to meet CARB standards, so check your car's eligibility before you ship.
Most long-distance loads leave from the Los Angeles and Bay Area hubs. Northern mountain routes (I-5 over the Siskiyou pass, I-80 over Donner) can see winter delays.
