Dealer auto transport is car shipping built around a business: vehicles that need to move between auctions, lots, other dealers and customers, often several at a time and often on short notice. Carvoya welcomes dealers, from independent lots to franchise stores.
What dealership car shipping covers
-
Auction car transport
You bought at a physical or online auction and the units need to come back to your lot.
Send the auction address, lot numbers and release. We book a carrier to collect.
-
Dealer trades
A customer wants a car another store has, and the trade has to happen this week.
Call dispatch or send the quote form; a dispatcher prices short trades by phone, so you know the cost before you agree the deal.
-
Lot-to-lot moves
Rebalancing inventory between your own locations, or moving units to a reconditioning shop.
One quote for the batch, with each vehicle priced the same way.
-
Customer deliveries
You sold a car online or to a buyer in another state who wants it at their door.
Door to door from your lot to the customer’s address, with our dispatcher keeping them informed.
Multi-car shipping, priced per vehicle
Every vehicle on a dealer shipment is priced the same way our retail customers’ cars are: distance, transport type, vehicle type and whether it runs. The quote form multiplies the per-vehicle estimate by the number of vehicles you enter, so the number you see is the number your dispatcher starts from.
- SUVs, crossovers and pickups are priced a little above sedans; luxury units more again.
- Units that don’t run need a carrier with a winch, which adds to the price.
- Enclosed or expedited transport costs more than open, per vehicle.
- Batches on one route are easier to plan, and your dispatcher looks for one carrier with room for all of them.

Dealer trades and short moves
Many dealer moves are short: across town, or to a store one state over. Short trades are priced by a dispatcher with you by phone, per vehicle. A trade between Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT, about 30 miles, is one of those. Send the quote form and we’ll call you, or call (413) 231-6888 and book it in one conversation.
Dispatch keeps dealer hours, and then some
Auctions close late and deals happen on Saturdays. Our dispatch line, (413) 231-6888, is answered 24/7, so a unit you bought tonight can be booked tonight.

How a dealer shipment works
-
Request your quote
Mark yourself as a dealer on the quote form and enter the number of vehicles. You see the per-vehicle estimate and the total straight away, with no obligation.
-
We match you with a carrier
A dispatcher confirms each pickup and delivery, the dates and the price, then books a vetted, insured, FMCSA-compliant and DOT-licensed carrier with room for your units.
-
Pickup and transport
The driver collects from your lot, the auction or the other dealer, and does a thorough on-site inspection of each vehicle at pickup. We stay in touch on the way.
-
Delivery and completion
Units are delivered to your lot or your customer’s door. The receiver does another thorough on-site inspection with the driver and the shipment is complete.
Moving high-value inventory
For luxury, exotic or collector inventory, choose enclosed car transport so units arrive without road grit or stone chips, ready for the showroom. For a deal that has to close on a date, ask for expedited car shipping. Everyday units go on open carriers at the most economical price.

Dealer transport questions
Still unsure? Call (413) 231-6888 any time, day or night.
Do you work with car dealers?
Yes, dealers are welcome. Mark yourself as a dealer on the quote form, tell us how many vehicles are moving, and a dispatcher plans pickups around your lot, the auction or your customer.
Can you pick up from an auction?
Yes. Send the auction location, the lot or stock numbers and any release or gate pass the auction requires, so the driver can collect the vehicles without a wasted trip.
How is multi-car shipping priced?
Each vehicle is priced on its own, from the route, transport type, vehicle type and whether it runs, and the quote form adds them up for the number of vehicles you enter. Your dispatcher confirms the final price before booking.
Can you move vehicles that don’t run?
Yes. Mark them as inoperable so a carrier with a winch is sent. An inoperable vehicle costs more to move, and the quote includes it.
Can you deliver a car straight to my customer?
Yes. Every shipment is door to door, so a car sold online or to an out-of-state buyer can go from your lot to the customer’s address. Tell us who will receive it.
Do you handle short dealer trades?
Yes. Short trades, such as Springfield, MA to Hartford, CT (about 30 miles), are priced by a dispatcher by phone. Submit the quote form and we’ll call you, or call (413) 231-6888 now, 24/7.
