Your car can't mess up your move.

The MCS delivery process
Here's exactly what happens to your car. Day by day. Who does it. What you get.
Moving is stressful because you never know what's coming next. So here's the whole road for your car, before you take the first step.
- Day 0
Get your price online
Tell us where, when and what you drive. Your price is built from what carriers are being paid on your route right now. If the numbers are thin, a person checks it first.
You get: one written, guaranteed price - Next

You get: two names and a direct line - Before pickup
We assign a carrier we check
FMCSA record, insurance verified with the insurer, crash history. Monitored continuously, not checked once.

Your LiveTrack tracker arrives
A small GPS tracker in your mailbox. Glovebox. Done.Optional add-on.
You get: your live map link - Pickup day

The driver documents the car's condition. Your card is charged on pickup day. We hold every dollar. No cash changes hands.
You get: the signed inspection report - In transit
You focus on the move
Boxes, kids, the new house. That's your week. The car is ours. Your MCS team keeps you posted and answers the phone.

You get: your car, and leverage if it's not right
Moving is stressful enough
Five car worries we take off your plate. Every one backed by something we control.
Worry #1 · "The price will change"
Written Price Guarantee.
You're budgeting a whole move. The quote you sign is the price you pay. Period. Some "price locks" come with a cap. Ask what it is. Ours has none.
How the guarantee worksWorry #2 · "My car will get damaged"
A claim plan, and a $100K policy behind it.
We're still holding the carrier's pay when your car arrives, so a claim gets attention. If the carrier's insurer denies or can't cover a legitimate claim, our own $100,000 contingent cargo policy is behind it. Included on every shipment.
How claims work →Worry #3 · "It won't show up on time"
Honest dates, because honest prices.
Cars get "delayed" when the broker posted a price no truck will take. We quote what carriers actually want, so your car gets attention. If it's going to be late, we tell you.
See the timeline →Worry #4 · "I won't know where my car is"
MCS LiveTrack. The tracker is in the car.
Everyone else's "GPS tracking" is the driver's phone. Ours is a device we mail you. It goes in the glovebox. The driver can't turn it off. Optional add-on.
How LiveTrack works →Worry #5 · "Who is hauling my car?"
A carrier we check, and keep checking.
Insurance lapses. Authority gets pulled. So we monitor our carriers continuously: FMCSA record, insurance verified with the insurer, crash history.
How we vet carriers →And the one nobody else will say
We never buy or sell your request.
When you fill out our form, one company sees it. Us. Your phone won't ring 12 times tomorrow. That's also why we can quote you honestly. We're not racing a dozen other brokers to the lowest fake number.
What families say after the move
"No surprises." That's the review we work for.
Google 4.6★BBB A+ · Accredited since 2016Transport Reviews 5.0/5 (27)BBB Torch Award for Ethics
"They quoted me a price that they honored; gave me a pick up date that they met; gave me a delivery date that they lived up to; they delivered my vehicles as promised with no damage."
"Mr. Car Shipper took one of the most stressful aspects of the cross-country moving process and made it painless. The price was right and there were no surprise fees, just like they advertised. My precious car arrived in perfect condition."
"Since we were using a POD to move our items, we noticed that they recommended Mr. Car Shipper as a partner. We were delighted that they could accommodate the pick up and drop off on quick notice. They were professional and did an excellent job of notifying us throughout the process."

Questions PODS customers ask us
Does PODS ship cars?
PODS moves your household goods in a container. For your car, PODS refers customers to car shipping partners, and Mr. Car Shipper is one of them. Tell us in the quote form that you're moving with PODS.
Can I put my car in a PODS container?
Check PODS' current rules before you plan on it. Most people moving long distance ship the car separately, so the container holds the household and the car arrives on a carrier built for vehicles.
How do I time my car with my PODS container?
Give us the first day the car can go and the day you need it at the new house. We schedule the pickup around your container pickup and your flight. Booking 3–4 weeks out gives you the most choice.
Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car when I move?
For moves of 500+ miles, add up gas, hotels, meals, days off work and wear on the car, then compare it to a written quote. Many families find shipping costs about the same and saves days. We'll give you a real number to compare.
