from John R. in AZ - May 13, 2008
I have a SUV that needs to be shipped to our new address. Can you take care of this?

John,

We can certainly help move your SUV as part of a household shipment. Because of the weight of your SUV, you will need to have a wrecker come an put it on the moving truck. This should cost around $50. Trying to put an SUV on the regular car loading ramps that Movex provides can cause the ramps to crack or break. Even spending the extra money to put the SUV on the moving van, it is going to be a lot less expensive than driving it.

from Joy B. in GA - May 11, 2008
How much would it cost to include my vehicle (small pickup truck) with the rest of my shipment (2 bedroom plus)?

Joy,

When you received your quote from us via email, there is a button on it to "Make Reservation". If you push that button, it will automatically calculate the rate for a car before you make your reservation online. If you are not ready to reserve, you can just view the car cost and then leave that page.

I need a quote on moving a 1990 Honda Accord from St. Louis Missouri to Las Vegas Nevada. I have previously sent for a quote for moving my one bedroom apartment with your company. Please combine the quotes if possible. Thank you.

Lillian,

We send a price for moving your car with every shipment, so if you filled out the quote request form above, you are done! One of our relocation specialists will be emailing you with moving truck pricing and the price to move your car on the same moving van.

i have a 2002 chevy s-10 LOW rider and it sits about a foot off the ground i was wondering if thats going to be a prob geting in your trucks

Kevin,

See the question before this one. You will need a flatbed wrecker to put a lowrider pickup on the moving van. Cost for this will be between $35 and $75.

from Marianne P. in MO - April 6, 2008
How is the car loaded onto the truck? You say no surprise costs, but do we have to get a flatbed to load and unload the car? Your website implies you have ramps for normal size cars.

Marianne,

There are two ways to load your car onto the moving truck. The primary way to load is using the loading ramps that are provided with your move. They separate in the middle and are designed to have cars driven on them for loading into moving trucks.

If your car is low to the ground (or is a big SUV/Pickup truck that is too heavy for the ramps), you will need to have a flatbed wrecker come and load your vehicle on the day of the move. This cost is usually between $35 and $75 depending on where you live. This will not come as a surprise. When you get pricing from your relocation specialist, they will get the information about your car and help you determine if a flatbed wrecker will be needed.

I'm moving from Durham, NH to Spring Valley, CA. I would estimate I have 1-plus bedroom worth of stuff. I also have a motorcycle. I see that you guys ship motorcycles, but in my online request for a quote, I was never given the option to include the motorcycle in the quote. How much more will shipping the motorcycle cost?

Phillip,

Movex does not charge extra to move your motorcycle inside the moving truck. You simply load it in the space that you order and use the straps and blankets to secure it (the equipment is very easy to use).

How much will it cost me? I am trying to determine if it is cost effective to rent a truck and a flat bed for the car, and drive there. Thanks.

Freddie,

One of our relocation specialists will be with you shortly with some pricing. It will take about 5 days for us to ship you across country. We will not be cheaper than renting a truck, but we will be very cost-effective when considering that you don't have to drive a moving truck across the country when using our services.

Patrice,

Movex's speciality is moving your car on the same moving van with your furniture. Your furniture goes into a private compartment on the moving truck and your car or SUV will go into a compartment right behind it. Not only is it the fastest and most convenient way to move your vehicle, but also the safest.

Hi,

Do you move cars only, loaded with household items ?
It's an SUV Equinox, from CA to TX.
Please give a quote

Marie,

We can move just your automobile (and you may load it with items). If you are going to load your car or SUV with items, you need to load the vehicle first and then load the goods into it after it is on the moving truck. If you load a bunch of heavy items into an SUV, it could exceed the weight limit of the loading ramps and cause them to break under the weight.... which would not be pleasant. :-)

Hello,

Can we load our 2 cars plus our 2 bedroom apartment into one of your trucks for shipment to Indiana ??

Ed,

Movex is the only self-service mover that can handle moving your cars on the same moving truck with your furniture. So, the answer to your question is yes. Both cars and a two bedroom apartment will fit on the moving van. I would recommend asking for a "truckload" rate. You will get a better discount and receive faster service if you are the only shipment on the moving truck.

The best way to move your car is to put it on a moving truck provided by Movex. It will travel in the same moving van with your furnishings (in a separate compartment).

Movex is a self-service mover. You do the loading and unloading. That being said, there is a link to Eagle Labor Management at the top of this page. They can provide loading and unloading of your moving truck anywhere in the country.

Movex is the only self-service mover that will allow you to ship your car on the same moving truck with your furniture. For a Model T, you would need to have a rollback wrecker come to your home on the day of loading and the day of unloading to help with the antique car.

Obviously, moving a valuable antique car is better done inside a moving van than on an open car carrier. Movex is the quality answer for shipping any auto.

If you are shipping the cars on the moving truck with a shipment of household goods, the cost is going to be about $1500 per vehicle (remember you are moving 3000 miles here).

The moving trucks have special tracks in the walls that 6000# safety straps hook into. These secure the axles of the cars that are riding inside. The moving trucks also have moveable walls inside that separate the household goods from the automobile (and from other shipments on the truck).

Shipping a car on the moving truck can cost anywhere from $400 to $1500. What determines the cost of moving your car is the size of your household goods shipment.

The cost to ship your car on the same moving truck with your furniture will vary with the amount of space that you are taking up with your household items. The more household furniture you move, the lower the cost to ship the car.

Ballpark for moving your car on the moving van would be 600 to as high as 1200. Again, it all depends on the size of your shipment. If you call our offices at 800-876-6839, one of our relocation specialists can quickly help you with a guaranteed price.

2) We haven't found an apartment yet--we're going to find a place when we arrive. Would you deliver to a storage facility? Or, if we find a place while you're still en-route, could we send a change of address for the delivery?

Thanks! I'm excited about this service!

Scott

Scott,

Thanks, we kinda like our service too! You ask two important questions.

1) Yes, you can put things in the back of the pickup truck, but only AFTER you have loaded the pickup onto the moving van. If you load your pickup truck down with heavy items and try to drive up the ramp, the extra weight could break the ramps. You definitely do not want that to happen!
2) We can certainly have the moving truck deliver to a storage facility. Also, you can change destination addresses (as long as it is going to the same city) up to the day before delivery with no financial charge.

We look forward to serving you.

Also if you are also moving a car, how is it recommended it be loaded and calculated in the space requirements of moving the household items as well?

Gary,

The bulk of the moving trucks are 53ft long, 8.5 ft wide, and 9ft high (inside dimensions). They can generally hold as much as 22,000# of HHG on one vehicle.

All of the trucks that Movex uses are equipped with furniture blankets, loading ramps, tie-down straps, and a dolly. The ramps are suitable for loading most cars into the moving van. You should calculate 16ft of space on the truck for most mid-size cars. Rates for moving your car on the moving truck are lower than the household goods rates, so make sure that you discuss with your relocation specialist that you are moving a car and they will make sure that you get the discounted auto shipping rates.

How are the cars secured in the trucks. Can you describe specifically the tie down method for cars.

Tammie,
Transit time for moving vans is 550 miles a day. So, it should take between 5 and 6 days for your shipment to travel across country. Let your relocation specialist know your needs when you call in and they will do their best to accommodate your schedule.
Cars inside moving trucks are secured with 4 6000# safety straps that wrap around the axles and then connect to the walls of the truck.

Rachael,
You have asked a good question. You absolutely can load up your husband's truck, but only AFTER you have put the truck on the moving van. If you load the up truck and then try to drive it up the ramps, it could cause the loading ramps to break from all of the extra weight (we know this from experience. A few years ago, a guy loaded about 2000# of heavy tools into his pickup and broke the loading ramps!..not pretty).
We look forward to helping you with your move.

I noticed from reading the other postings, that my car can be shipped along with my belongings. Can i ship two cars and a motorcycle? What can i do to have this type of shipment? (2bdr apt, two cars, motorcycle)

Help!

Ken,

Rent the entire 53ft moving van. You would then have enough space to load your apartment, both cars, and your bike. It would save you a lot of money and headache too. Give us a call in the am and let the relocation specialist know that you need a price on a full truckload. They can set up the entire shipment for you right there on the phone.

I have a motorcycle and was wondering if you can ship move it?

Benjamin,
Motorcycles are very easy to ship in a moving truck. Everything that you need to ship and secure it is already on the truck.

I'll be moving my car along with my items from Rockville, MD to Texas. However, I'm aware that we load the truck ourselves. What about the car? Does the driver assist with that? Also, will the car's exterior be padded or walls inside the truck for protection from damage?

Monet,
The moving trucks have ramps available. You drive your car right into the truck. The driver will put the ramps in place for you, but he is not allowed to load it for you. The trucks are 8.5 ft wide. The walls are not padded, but the car should never come in contact with the walls of the truck.

This is a great question that we are asked often. Absolutely is the answer. You can fill your car up if you like. It will save you space on the moving truck.

I would suggest calling our offices at 800-876-6839 and one of our relocation specialists can help you get the appropriate size ordered.

What are your restrictions on moving a vehicle? Say for example a motorcycle? Can I crate it up and load it in the truck? I've also seen small cars loaded in the back of an Atlas Semi. Do you do that?

Greg,
Almost 25% of Movex customers ship their car on the moving truck with their furniture. There is truly nothing more convenient than putting your car on the same truck. Everything arrives safely AND together. Your Relocation Specialist can help you with setting up your car shipment.

from Tony P. in FL - February 3, 2007
I read on someone else's question that you could transport the vehicle in the van with their furniture. Are the transport vehicles long enough for two vehicles and furniture? I am moving from the equivalent furnishings of a 2 bedroom apartment. I am moving from Tampa to Chicago. Also, do you have a service with licensed movers to do the loading?

Tony,
You could rent an entire moving van. That should give you plenty of room for your apartment furnishings and two cars. You will also have some significant savings by ordering the entire truck. Please call our office at 800-876-6839 and one of our relocation consultants will get you a guranteed rate.

I soon will be moving from Michigan to California. Can your company legally hitch a car to a trailer? If so what would be the general costs?

Linda,

We actually would be able to move your car right inside the same moving van as your furniture. We are the only self-service mover that uses fully-equipped professional moving vans for our service and that can provide shipping inside them. The cost from MI to CA is generally $1200 (this can vary depending on the size of the shipment that you are moving with the car).

I suggest calling our offices during business hours and speaking with a relocation consultant. They will be able to give you a guaranteed price for your move.

Thanks,

how much extra do you charge to move a car?

James,
It depends on where you are moving it from and to. Moving a car on one of our moving trucks can cost anywhere from $350 to $1500.
Please give us a call and a relocation specialist can give you an exact price for moving yours.

If you ship a car, how do you empty the gas tank?

Diana,
You do not have to empty the gas tank to move your vehicle. If you are shipping a lawn mower or another "motorized" vehicle, you should empty the tanks. Modern cars are designed with tanks that do not create volatile situations when moving them. Thanks for the good question. We hear that one a lot!

Do you move boats and vehicles?

Judi,
We can move your car on the same moving truck as your furniture. We can move small boats, but they have to be light enough and small enough to go up the ramps into the moving van.
Looking forward to helping you with your move.

Can I transport my car with the trunk and back seat packed with boxes?

Ruth,
You certainly can. Because your car rides in the same moving truck with your personal belongings (and not on an open car transporter), you can load it up however you like.
Hope this helps.

It is very convenient to have all of your household goods and your car arrive at the same time on the same truck.

Am I correct in my recall that I saw that you would ship a car as well, if there was space in the trailer? If so, what is the charge.(would be a PT Cruiser)

William,
Yes, we can certainly move your car. It goes on the same truck as your household goods (your car is generally the last thing loaded on the moving van).
The charge for moving your car will vary based on the distance travelled. Please call us at 800-876-6739 and one of our relocation specialists can walk you through the process of getting prices.

Good evening,

My name is Angie V. I received your name from my next door neighbor, Mark. You have just recently assisted him with a move that brought his wife's grandmother from PA to TX.
Well...Grandma has bought our house and we are headed to Land O' Lakes, FL in Pasco County. Actually - that isn't too far from your corporate headquarters in Tampa!
I was hoping you would be kind enough to provide me with a quote to assist us in this move. If you would let me know what you need I will be happy to provide the information. Can you tell me if you transport vechicles?
We are planning to hit the road and head south January 4th or 5th.

Angie,

We always love referral business and I think that you will love Florida. It is 75 here today and beautiful... not bad for the 29th of December.

I looked at our system and see that you filled out the moving quote request form and provided me with your phone number. We will be contacting you to get the information needed to get you an accurate price on your move. Yes, we can move your car on the same truck as your furniture.

We will need to get things set up quickly if you are in fact moving next week.

We will call you today.
