🚗 Can You Ship a Non-Running Car? Here’s What You Need to Know 🚗

Shipping a non-running car is absolutely possible, but it requires special handling and equipment. Whether your vehicle has mechanical issues, a dead battery, or is completely inoperable, transport companies like Safeeds Transport Inc can help get it delivered safely. Here's what you need to know before arranging transport for a non-running vehicle.



🛑 What Is Considered a Non-Running Car?

A non-running or inoperable car is any vehicle that cannot move under its own power. This could be due to:

  • ❌ A dead battery

  • ❌ Engine or transmission failure

  • ❌ Missing or damaged wheels

  • ❌ Severe accident damage


Transporting such vehicles requires additional preparation compared to a fully operational car.



🚛 How Are Non-Running Cars Transported?

Since inoperable vehicles cannot be driven onto a carrier, they require specialized equipment such as:

  1. 🏗 Winches – Used to pull the vehicle onto the trailer.

  2. 🚜 Forklifts – Needed for cars without wheels or those severely damaged.

  3. 🛻 Rollbacks – Flatbed tow trucks that assist in loading.

At Safeeds Transport Inc, we ensure that carriers have the right tools to safely load and unload your non-running car.



🚘 Types of Transport for Non-Running Vehicles

  1. 🚙 Open Transport: Most affordable option, but exposes the car to weather and road debris.

  2. 🚗 Enclosed Transport: Ideal for classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles needing extra protection.

For heavily damaged or valuable non-running cars, enclosed transport is the safest choice.



💰 Cost of Shipping a Non-Running Car

Since extra labor and equipment are required, shipping a non-running vehicle typically costs $100 to $300 more than a running car. Factors affecting the total price include:

  • 📍 Distance of transport

  • 🚛 Vehicle size and weight

  • 📦 Transport type (open vs. enclosed)

  • 🏡 Pickup and delivery locations

You can get an accurate quote from Safeeds Transport Inc based on your specific vehicle and route.



How to Prepare Your Non-Running Car for Transport


To ensure a smooth process, follow these steps: ✔ Inform the Broker or Carrier – Let them know the car is inoperable. ✔ Check for Leaks – Address any major fluid leaks to avoid extra fees. ✔ Secure Loose Parts – Remove or tighten any loose components. ✔ Provide Access – Ensure keys are available and the vehicle is accessible for loading.



🏆 Choosing the Right Transport Company

Not all car shipping companies handle non-running vehicles. It’s important to work with a reliable transport provider like Safeeds Transport Inc, which has experience in shipping inoperable cars and access to the necessary equipment.
