Can I track my car’s location when shipping from San Jose to Las Vegas?

Yes — you’ll have direct contact with your assigned car carrier and can track shipment status via our app or the carrier’s updates. Many drivers provide progress updates as they pass major waypoints (e.g., through the Central Valley, over mountain passes, and into the Mojave), so you know when to expect delivery.

What happens if the truck can’t access my pickup or drop-off location in San Jose or Las Vegas?

If the carrier can’t reach your exact address, they’ll contact you to arrange a nearby safe hand-off — common alternatives include large retail or office parking lots in San Jose or designated delivery areas in Las Vegas (away from the busy Strip). Planning pickup in advance helps avoid delays and extra stops.

Why is direct carrier booking for San Jose to Las Vegas cheaper than the broker option?

On average, ship a car direct with a carrier and it’s 10%–20% less expensive than using a broker because there are fewer middleman fees. Direct booking also gives clearer visibility into car hauling schedules and often better control over pickup and delivery. If you prefer a broker service, we still offer trusted vehicle transportation services to manage logistics for you.

Can I pack personal items in my car when shipping from San Jose to Las Vegas?

You may place up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk, but not in the main cabin for safety and weight-distribution reasons. Heavy or loose items can shift during transport and may not be covered by carrier insurance. For tips on preparing your car for transport and a full list of restrictions, please review our personal items policy here: publicy policy .
