Real words from real clients.
Hey, my experience with RPL was really great, especially with Adam, he really took great care of my two cars when I moved to Atlanta. The price was very affordable and the service was great. I already recommended them to my sister and her family. Book them with confidence guys!
What can I say about Royal Port... These boys are just fantastic. I transported my Chevy Silverado with them and a Harley and both vehicles... well, they arrived even earlier than expected and honestly the rate Adam gave me... the final price was even lower than his original quote so I ended up saving more money... Big thanks to the whole team... Until next time...
Royal Port Log are some really professional people. Big thanks to the whole team for a job well done. I have been transporting my cars with them from the auto auctions to export warehouses for years.
Me and my wife were moving our home with our four kids from San Francisco to Los Angeles and we have three cars in our family: a classic Corvette, my wife's Toyota 4-Runner, and my daughter's Mazda 3 hatchback. Needless to say this was not going to be easy for us, but Royal Port really took good care of us and all cars arrived safely without a scratch at once. This is an excellent service and these people are very special.
Excellent service. Friendly staff. Reliable and prompt. Affordable pricing. This is how I would describe my experience. Thankyou so much!
my dad referred me over to the team at rpl and they have done an excellent job transporting so many cars for me over the years. i basically give them an excel worksheet of cars daily and they just have them delivered end of story.
If it's got wheels, we've probably shipped it in the past decade.
From any US driveway or auction lot, your car can sail to 100+ destinations worldwide.
Shipping a car overseas usually means trusting a stranger's math. With us you get full transparency: you pay the actual ocean carrier's invoice, with our freight commission capped at just $100. The vessel booking is handled by our own FMC licensed sister company, Royal Port Container Lines, so your car stays in the same good hands from driveway to dock to destination.

Most shipments in the US cost between $0.50 and $2.00 per mile, and the national average runs around $1,200 for a standard car. Shorter routes cost more per mile and coast to coast routes cost less, so use our calculator above for your exact lane.
Yes, we hold federal broker authority under USDOT #3032619 and MC #40242, and the company has been in business since 2014. You can verify our record yourself on the FMCSA SAFER website.
No, you pay our broker fee only after a carrier is assigned to your shipment, and the remaining balance goes to the driver at delivery once you have inspected your vehicle. We never hold your driver's money.
Yes, we give you the driver's name and direct phone number as soon as your shipment is dispatched, so you are never chasing a middleman for updates.
Every carrier we assign holds active cargo insurance, and we verify their coverage with FMCSA records before dispatch. For overseas shipments you can add full marine cargo insurance as a flat published line on your quote.
Most vehicles are picked up within one to five days of booking, and popular routes often move faster. Auction pickups are prioritized so storage fees do not stack up on you.
Yes, we ship inoperable and salvage vehicles using carriers with winch equipment. Expect roughly $150 to $300 above the running price, and the calculator includes this when you tell it the car does not run.
Yes, we collect vehicles from Copart, IAAI, and dealer auctions nationwide. We dispatch quickly because auctions start charging storage after a few free days, and we will ask for your lot number, buyer number, and gate pass at booking.
Yes, the ocean leg is handled by our sister company Royal Port Container Lines, Inc., operating as Cassandra Logistics, which holds an FMC/OTI license. One quote covers the truck to the port and the vessel to your destination.
We run a lean operation with no call centers and no purchased lead lists, and carriers compete for your route, so the savings land in your quote. We also pay drivers fairly, which is why your car actually gets picked up on time.
No, our calculator shows your price without asking for an email or phone number, and we never sell your information. You only share contact details if you decide to book with us.
On overseas shipments we show you the actual ocean carrier invoice and cap our fee on that line at $100. Our earnings come from the trucking, loading, and documentation services, each priced as a flat published fee.
Yes, we arrange transport between any two points in the continental US, and Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico moves are available with an ocean leg. Overseas destinations are covered through our international shipping service.
A few days ahead is ideal for popular routes, and a week helps on rural ones. Short notice is still worth asking about, since carriers often have last minute space.
Nothing is due when you get your quote. Our broker fee is only charged once a carrier is actually assigned to your shipment.
Payment options are confirmed with your locked quote before booking. The remaining balance goes to your driver at delivery.
You choose a pickup window, and most pickups happen within one to five days of booking. Exact delivery timing depends on the route, and your driver keeps you posted directly.
Every carrier we assign holds active cargo insurance, and damage in transit is covered by their policy. Note any issue on the delivery inspection before paying the driver, and we will help you file the claim.
Yes, door to door is our standard service. The carrier picks up and delivers as close to your addresses as the truck can safely and legally reach.
Large carriers sometimes cannot enter narrow or restricted streets. In that case your driver arranges a nearby meeting point, like a shopping plaza, and calls you before arrival.
Yes, any adult you authorize can hand over or accept the vehicle and sign the inspection report. Just tell us their name and phone number before pickup.
Yes, motorcycles ship on carriers with proper wheel chocks and soft straps, and crating is available for extra protection. Overseas motorcycle shipping is available too.
Yes, oversized vehicles and machinery move on specialized equipment like lowboys, or by driveaway where appropriate. Email us the details and we will quote it properly.
Yes, lifted trucks, lowered cars, and other modified vehicles just need the right carrier and deck clearance. Tell us about the modifications when you request your exact price.
Yes, enclosed carriers protect classics, exotics, and luxury vehicles from weather and road debris. Expect enclosed to cost more than open transport, and our calculator shows both.
The calculator shows your instant range, and our team confirms the exact locked price before you book. Use the buttons under the calculator or email ship@theroyalport.com to lock yours in.
The calculator shows an honest market range, not a binding number. Your locked price comes from our team before booking, and the price we lock is the price you pay.
Some brokers quote a low number to win your booking, then raise it once no carrier accepts the route at that price. Our quotes are priced to actually move your car the first time.
A broker is the licensed matchmaker between you and the carrier who physically hauls your car. We price the route, vet the carrier, handle the paperwork, and stay responsible for your experience.
Your car rides with independent, federally licensed carriers that we vet and assign. That model lets carriers compete for your route, which keeps your price down.
We confirm every carrier holds active federal operating authority and valid cargo insurance before dispatch, using official FMCSA records. No paperwork, no load.
Yes, you get your driver's name and direct phone number the moment your shipment is dispatched, so updates come straight from the person hauling your car.
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel, remove toll tags and personal valuables, and note any existing damage with photos. Have a spare key ready for the driver.
Yes, these moves combine trucking with an ocean leg. Email us your route and vehicle and we will quote the full journey.
Domestic transport is no problem for financed vehicles. Exporting one requires written permission from the lienholder, and we will walk you through what customs needs.
RoRo stands for roll on, roll off, meaning your car is driven onto the vessel and secured on deck. It is usually the most affordable way to ship a running car overseas.
Yes, auction pickups are dispatched fast because storage fees start stacking after the free days. Send your quote request as soon as you win the bid.
Yes, and shipping two cars together usually earns a discount on the second one. Use the multiple cars button under the calculator and we will price the pair.
Email or text us anytime, day or night. We will try to reply within 24/48 hours, and usually much faster.
Yes, Cassandra Logistics is our sister company, legally Royal Port Container Lines, Inc., and it handles the ocean leg of our overseas shipments under its FMC/OTI license. Same family, same standards.
