DOMESTIC & INTERNATIONAL

Beverly Hills Car Club is happy to assist you in making arrangements to ship your vehicle anywhere in the world; whether it’s being shipped locally in the Los Angeles metro area, in-state (CA), anywhere in the continental US, or internationally we consult with you on available options. We are happy to facilitate the shipping arrangements for you. We get highly competitive rates and can make the process efficient, cost-effective and streamlined. However, you may have a preferred carrier and rather make the arrangements for yourself. It is your choice.

All cars come with a US title, Invoice (Bill of Sale) and all other supporting documentation required for your destination.

How much does it cost to transport a classic car?

The cost for classic car transport can vary based upon the specific make and model as well as the distance from the showroom to your driveway. Gateway Classic Cars will get you a few different shipping quotes for you. Once you have decided on the best option, you will be able to work directly with the transport company for final delivery arrangements.

What is Door-to-Door Auto Transport?

Door-to-door transport is the choice for many of our customers. The delivery truck will pick up your vehicle from our showroom and it will be delivered as close to your home as legally possible. Some cities may restrict where large trucks may drive in residential areas. This is something to discuss with the transport company when scheduling your shipment. They may have other delivery trucks available which would not conflict with any municipal regulations.

What kind of vehicle will transport my classic car?

Our transport partners have two options available – Open Transport and Enclosed Transport.

Enclosed carriers are often recommended for exotic and classic cars. This may also depend upon the time of year you are having your vehicle shipped. An enclosed trailer will better protect your vehicle from the elements during its journey to your driveway.

Open car carriers are the popular choice for most new car dealerships as they can typically carry 8–10 vehicles at a time.

Is my vehicle insured during the shipping process?

YES! Gateway Classic Cars ONLY deals with fully licensed and insured shipping companies to ensure our customers are fully covered. Our Inventory Specialists will be able to assist with additional questions.

How long will it take to transport my classic car?

There are a lot of factors which will determine the schedule. Your transport company will be able to give you more details about the timeframe for delivery based upon what shipping options are best for you. Typical turn around is 5–7 business days after final payment and contracts are received.

Does my vehicle registration need to be current prior to shipping?

No. Once you have received your vehicle, you will be able to register the vehicle with your local department of motor vehicles. Except for international shipping, we do not ship the title along with the vehicle for your protection. Your title and any additional paperwork will be sent directly from Gateway Classic Cars separately. International shipping will require the title to be present for customs processing.

Domestic Customers

For California customers we are authorized and directed by the California State Board of Equalization to collect the Sales & Use Tax for the county where the car will be registered. The Board of Equalization requires that sales tax is due and payable at the time of purchase for all cars sold and delivered within California.
We do not collect sales tax if a sale is out of California, but only if the transport company provides us with a valid Bill of Lading.
If you have a designated carrier, please have them contact our Shipping department directly to schedule pick up or delivery.

If you do not already have a designated carrier our Shipping department can either make recommendations to you for reputable freight companies to arrange yourself, or we can provide you with competitive rates and coordinate the entire shipping arrangements for you.
