Understanding Multi-Car Carrier Auto Transport: Why Flexibility is Key

Written by Bigfella Auto Express | Feb 18, 2026 3:29:27 AM

When it comes to shipping your vehicle across the country, many customers expect precise delivery dates. At Bigfella Auto Express, we want to set the record straight: shipping times are estimates, not guarantees—especially when using a multi-carrier transport.

How Multi-Car Carrier Shipping Works

Multi-carrier carriers transport several vehicles on a single trailer. This is one of the most cost-effective options for long-distance auto transport. For example, a route from Van Nuys, CA to College Park, GA covers roughly 2,200 miles.

Because the carrier may be picking up and dropping off multiple vehicles along the route, delivery timelines can fluctuate. Weather, traffic, and other factors can also affect estimated arrival.

Why Delivery Dates Are Not Guaranteed

While we provide estimated arrival windows, it’s important to understand that no exact delivery date can be promised for multi-carrier shipments. Our website clearly states this policy, ensuring transparency before you book your transport.

If you require a specific delivery date or have time-sensitive requirements, the best option is to choose enclosed two-car transport. This method offers a more controlled route and schedule, but comes at a higher cost.

Setting the Right Expectations

Shipping your car doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Expect a delivery window, not a fixed date.
  • Allow flexibility for your pickup and drop-off schedules.
  • Consider enclosed transport if timing is critical or if you have multiple vehicles.

By understanding these details upfront, customers can avoid frustration and have a smoother experience with Bigfella Auto Express.

Final Thoughts

We know delays can be inconvenient, but our goal is always safe and reliable vehicle transport. For multi-carrier shipments, flexibility is key, and planning ahead ensures the best experience.
