Shipping a car in Berkeley

Berkeley sits in Alameda County, California and has about 121,749 residents. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Pickup coverage around Berkeley is dense. Richmond (7 mi), Oakland (8 mi) and Daly City (15 mi) all sit inside a short drive, and a route built across that cluster can usually take in several stops before joining I-5, I-10, and US-101. The limits here tend to be physical rather than logistical: narrow residential streets, low branches and gated entries are the common reasons a driver asks to meet at a nearby lot instead.

Distances from Berkeley to the larger markets around it: Reno, NV at about 210 road miles, Los Angeles, CA at about 410 road miles and Las Vegas, NV at about 485 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 350 miles, quote $400 to $700 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Alameda County we also collect in Fremont, Hayward and Oakland. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Berkeley pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
