Pickup in Wilmington and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Wilmington streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 2 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.

Car shipping in Wilmington: questions people ask
How many car shipping companies are there in Wilmington, DE?

All 36 hold active registrations with motor vehicles declared as cargo and a fleet on file. Brokers are registered separately and are not counted.
Who is the largest auto transporter near Wilmington?
By reported fleet, Right Way Auto Transport Inc in Elkton, MD, with 37 trucks on its filing (USDOT 355181). 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 Wilmington?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Wilmington to New York City, NY is about 123 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 Wilmington?
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.
How have car haulers near Wilmington done at roadside inspections?
16 of the 36 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 95 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 16 of 62 vehicle inspections (25.8%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
