Student Discount

10% off vehicle transport for students relocating for college or university.

Driving a car to campus means a long solo trip, fuel, a night or two on the road and several hundred miles on a car you would rather not add them to. Shipping it costs less than that adds up to more often than people expect.

Who qualifies

Students relocating for college or university. Say so when you request the quote.

Term dates are the whole problem

Every student in the country moves in the same fortnight. Carrier demand into university towns spikes hard in late summer, and again in reverse at the end of the year.

Book well ahead of move-in week. This is the one decision that saves real money, and it saves more than the discount does.

Campus access is often restricted. University districts have narrow streets, permit parking, height barriers and loading restrictions, and a 75-foot hauler cannot manoeuvre through most of them. We agree an accessible meeting point nearby in advance — see door-to-door auto transport.

Someone must be present at both ends to inspect the vehicle and sign the bill of lading. If you are flying in later, nominate someone and brief them.

Empty the car. Move-in temptation is to fill the boot, and you will find transport companies advertising a personal-items allowance as a student perk. Federal regulation prohibits carriers from moving household goods in a shipped vehicle, and cargo insurance does not cover them. We follow that rule. Ship belongings separately.

Two vehicles going the same way? Cheaper per unit on the same lane. Sort it in one booking.

Which transport type

Open transport is the sensible default for a student car. Long moves: state-to-state car shipping.

What the discount applies to

The discount reduces the transport price we quote you. It does not change how the shipment works — the factors that drive your quote apply the same way: distance, lane density, vehicle size and running condition, open or enclosed transport, timing flexibility and season.

A 10% reduction on an honestly-priced quote beats a bigger-sounding discount off an inflated one. We publish no rate card to discount from.
