Pickup in Surprise and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Surprise streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 10 carriers based here will know which ones work. If the quote comes from a broker, ask which carrier's truck will come and open that USDOT number before pickup. Preparing the car and how car shipping is priced cover the rest.

Who is the largest auto transporter near Surprise?
By reported fleet, Motor Car Auto Carriers Inc in Glendal, AZ, with 45 trucks on its filing (USDOT 915692). Fleet size is self-reported and describes capacity, not care; read the record behind the number before you book.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Surprise?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Surprise to New York City, NY is about 2,508 miles), open or enclosed transport, the car's size and whether it runs, the season and direction, and how flexible your pickup window is. The pricing guide linked below explains each factor.
Will a car hauler pick up at my door in Surprise?
Usually as close as a 75-foot rig can legally and physically get. On narrow residential streets, in HOAs that bar commercial trucks, or where overhead lines are low, the driver will ask to meet at a wide lot nearby. Agree the meeting point when you book, not when the truck is idling.

23 of the 50 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 79 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 13 of 46 vehicle inspections (28.3%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
