Shipping a car in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids sits in Kent County, Michigan and has about 200,117 residents, the 2nd largest of the Michigan cities we cover. 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.

Grand Rapids works as a standalone pickup within reach of Kentwood (6 mi), Holland (25 mi) and Ionia (30 mi). A Michigan run through this area may take in Kentwood on the same trip before heading out on I-75, I-94, and I-96. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Grand Rapids to the larger markets around it: Ann Arbor, MI at about 130 road miles, Milwaukee, WI at about 140 road miles and Chicago, IL at about 155 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 260 miles, quote $400 to $600 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Kent County we also collect in Kentwood. 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 Grand Rapids 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.
