The short answer
Shipping two or more vehicles together on the same route qualifies for stacking discounts of up to 20% off the combined price, with savings scaling by vehicle count and route overlap. Each vehicle is still priced and insured individually, so a $99 optional coverage add-on and axle-weight-based pricing apply per car. Standard 1-7 business day pickup can usually be synced across vehicles at the same address. $0 is due at booking for the entire order.
- Multi-vehicle stacking discounts range from roughly 5% for two vehicles up to 20% for larger household or fleet shipments.
- Discounts apply when vehicles ship on the same or overlapping route, even if final delivery addresses differ.
- Each vehicle in a multi-car order is priced individually first — size, distance, and any surcharges — before the stacking discount is applied to the total.
- Optional insurance is $99 per vehicle for $200,000 of coverage, purchased separately for each car in the shipment.
- Standard pickup (1-7 business days) can typically be scheduled for all vehicles in the same window when they're picked up from one address.
- $0 is due at booking regardless of how many vehicles are in the order; the total is charged only as each vehicle is picked up.
How the stacking discount actually calculates
Multi-vehicle discounts aren't a flat percentage slapped onto any two cars — they scale with how many vehicles ship together and how much their routes overlap. A household shipping two sedans from the same driveway to the same destination sees the strongest discount, since the carrier fills capacity efficiently. A family shipping three vehicles to two different cities still qualifies, though the discount reflects the actual efficiency gained. Expect roughly 5-10% off for two vehicles, climbing toward the 20% ceiling for three or more on a well-matched route.
Syncing pickup windows for multiple cars
- Request the same Standard 1-7 business day pickup window for all vehicles at one address — this is the easiest scenario for a carrier to fill efficiently.
- If vehicles are at different addresses, expect the carrier to build a short local route, which can shift pickup by a day within the window.
- Choosing Expedited for the whole order (1-5 business days, +35%) is possible, but confirm it applies to the full shipment, not just one vehicle.
- Flag any non-running or oversized vehicle in the group early — it changes the trailer type needed for the whole load.
Why neighborhood logistics matter more with 2+ cars
A single car pickup is straightforward: the carrier finds a spot, loads, and moves on. With two or more vehicles, especially in a residential neighborhood, the carrier needs enough room to stage a longer trailer and load sequentially, which can take 20-30 minutes longer per additional vehicle. If you're on a narrow street or in an HOA, identify a nearby lot large enough for the full rig before pickup day, and let the driver know in advance how many vehicles they're collecting so they can plan the loading order.
Coverage is per vehicle, not per order
Every vehicle in a multi-car shipment carries its own coverage. The carrier's commercial cargo liability applies individually to each car, and if you choose the optional add-on insurance, it's purchased per vehicle at $99 for $200,000 of coverage rather than as a shared pool across the shipment. This matters if the vehicles have different values — you can add optional coverage selectively, for example on a newer SUV but not an older commuter car, rather than paying for identical coverage across the whole fleet.
Payment timing for a multi-vehicle order
- $0 is due at booking for the entire multi-vehicle order, regardless of size.
- Each vehicle's charge posts individually the moment that specific car is picked up, not when the whole shipment is confirmed.
- No deposit is ever collected upfront for any vehicle in the order.
- If vehicles pick up on different days, you'll see separate charges corresponding to each pickup event.
Frequently asked questions
- How much can I save shipping multiple cars together?
- Discounts scale with the number of vehicles and route overlap, typically starting around 5-10% for two vehicles and reaching up to 20% for three or more shipped on a well-matched route.
- Do multiple vehicles need to go to the same destination for a discount?
- No. Vehicles can deliver to different addresses and still qualify for a stacking discount, as long as the overall route overlaps enough for the carrier to combine them efficiently.
- Is insurance shared across all vehicles in a multi-car order?
- No, coverage is per vehicle. Each car carries its own carrier liability, and the optional $99 add-on insurance for $200,000 of coverage is purchased individually per vehicle.
- When do I pay for a multi-vehicle shipment?
- $0 is due at booking for the full order. Each vehicle's charge is applied only when that specific car is physically picked up by the carrier, not before.
