Vehicle Transportation
Global Relocation Concierge coordinates domestic and international transport for cars, motorcycles, boats and specialty vehicles — from standard open carrier shipping to enclosed transport and overseas ocean, RoRo and container export.
Domestic & Overseas Export
Open carrier, enclosed transport, RoRo and container shipping — coordinated door to door.
What We Coordinate
How We Assist With Every Vehicle
From a single exotic to an entire collection — cars, classics, motorcycles and boats alike — GRC coordinates the carrier, the paperwork and the hand-off so your vehicle arrives exactly as it left.
Open Carrier Transport
The cost-effective choice for standard vehicles — carried on an open multi-car transporter and delivered door to door, fully insured in transit.
Enclosed Carrier Transport
Fully enclosed trailer transport with soft tie-downs and liftgate loading — maximum protection from weather and road debris for luxury, exotic and high-value vehicles.
Classic & Collector Transport
White-glove handling for classics, antiques and collector cars — enclosed transport, careful securing and documented, photographed condition reports at pickup and delivery.
Overseas Ocean Shipping
International shipping by container or roll-on/roll-off, port-to-port or door-to-door, with export documentation, destination compliance and customs clearance coordinated for you.
Door-to-Door & Specialty Flatbed
Dedicated flatbed for a single car, a non-running project or a specialty vehicle — picked up at your door and delivered to the next, carefully loaded and secured.
Boat & Yacht Transport
Overland hauling and overseas shipping for boats, yachts and personal watercraft — cradled, shrink-wrapped and secured, with trailer, flat-rack or container options to suit the hull.
Premium Protection
When to Choose Enclosed Transport
Enclosed transportation provides additional protection for vehicles that require extra care during transit. If your vehicle falls into any of the following categories, enclosed transport is strongly recommended.
Luxury Vehicles
High-end makes and models that require protection from the elements and road debris during transit.
Exotic Vehicles
Rare and exotic automobiles that demand the highest standard of protection throughout the shipping process.
Collector Cars
Classic and collector vehicles with historical or sentimental value that require specialized handling.
High-Value Automobiles
Any vehicle with significant market value where enclosed protection reduces risk during transport.
Specialty Vehicles
Modified, customized, or specialty-built vehicles that require careful handling and enclosed transport conditions.
Before Pickup
Vehicle Preparation Requirements
Customers may be required to prepare their vehicles prior to transportation. Proper preparation helps ensure a smooth pickup, avoids carrier delays, and protects your vehicle throughout transit. International shipments may also require customs documentation and import/export compliance depending on the destination country.

Remove Personal Belongings
Carriers are not responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle during transport.
▸
Reduce Fuel Levels
Keep fuel at approximately one quarter tank or less prior to pickup.
▸
Disable Alarms
Deactivate any aftermarket alarms that could trigger during loading or transit.
▸
Document Existing Condition
Photograph your vehicle thoroughly before pickup to document its pre-shipment condition.
▸
Registration & Ownership Docs
Provide current vehicle registration and proof of ownership documentation as required.
