College Student Car Shipping: Send the Car to Campus

Relocation · 6 min read

Yes — Jetrans Movers provides complete door-to-door relocation, freight forwarding, vehicle towing, and container shipping between your pickup address and your destination. Here is everything you need to know about customs clearance, transit times, container/flatbed options, and pricing before planning your move.

Moving & Vehicle Towing Services for Students — How It Works

Plan the pickup a few weeks ahead so the car arrives around move-in, not after it. Long-distance flatbed transport is typically $1,200 USD to $2,800 USD flat-rate, and shorter routes are quoted individually. Ship dorm boxes and the car together with a household bundle and save 25%.

  • Choose a delivery address someone can meet the driver at
  • Check campus parking and permit rules before the car arrives
  • Remove personal items and complete the condition report at pickup

Is It Worth Towing Your Car and Hiring Professional Movers for College?

A parent or student driving a long route spends on fuel, lodging and days off, and takes on the risk of a breakdown. Shipping the car costs one predictable price, and the bundle saves 25%.

Choose your service: household, towing or bundle

When you request a quote you pick one of three options, so you only pay for what you need.

  • Household Move Only: residential and commercial relocation
  • Vehicle Towing Only: flatbed towing, enclosed transport or emergency recovery
  • Combined Household + Vehicle Bundle: save 25% by shipping furniture and vehicles together, with the saving confirmed in your written quote

Tell us whether the vehicle runs or needs a winch, and whether you want an open flatbed or an enclosed carrier. The quote form asks for both.
