Tip #49: Heading to College? These are some questions to ask yourself before shipping your vehicle.

It takes more than just books and dorm supplies to get ready for college life—don’t forget your automobile! Make sure you’re ready before setting up your student vehicle transport by questioning yourself:

Do I really need my vehicle on campus?

Some campuses offer limited parking or great public transit. Decide if bringing your car adds real value to your college experience.

Have I packed only the essentials inside the car?

Keep personal items under 100 lbs and stored securely in the trunk or below window level. It helps avoid damage and complies with most carrier policies.

Does the auto transport company work with student schedules?

Make sure the provider offers flexible pickup and delivery times—especially around move-in and semester breaks.

Is the transporter fully licensed and insured?

Only trust FMCSA-registered and insured auto shippers like AmeriStar Car Shipping to protect your ride throughout the journey.
