What Is Dealership delivery Car Shipping?
Dealership delivery is the last-mile vehicle delivery service that moves a sold vehicle from your dealership directly to the buyer's home or business address. It is the dealer-to-consumer leg of a sale — the customer's first physical interaction with the vehicle, which means the delivery experience reflects directly on your dealer brand. CarShippers.ai handles condition documentation at pickup and delivery (timestamped photos emailed within 2 hours of each event, signed bill of lading), coordinates the delivery window directly with the buyer, and supports remote sale workflows for out-of-state buyers — the fastest-growing dealer segment post-2020. High-volume dealer groups dispatch via API integration with CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerSocket and other DMS platforms, with consolidated invoicing per location.
Dealer-to-customer last-mile. Condition handoff. API dispatch. CarShippers.ai matches FMCSA-licensed carriers with transparent, expert-verified pricing.
Why Choose CarShippers.ai for Dealership delivery?
Condition documentation that protects your brand
Timestamped photos at pickup from your lot and at delivery to the customer, emailed to your dealership within 2 hours of each event. Signed bill of lading creates a legal acceptance record. If a customer disputes damage, you have clear evidence from both ends.
Remote-sale / out-of-state buyer workflow
Built for the fastest-growing dealer segment — buyers purchasing online from another state. We coordinate the delivery window with the buyer directly, confirm address and presence, and handle every logistics call so your sales team isn't managing delivery after the deal closes.
White-glove consumer handoff
The driver arrives clean, on time, in your delivery window, and walks the buyer through the condition report side-by-side. This is the customer's first physical touchpoint with the vehicle — we treat it like a showroom moment, not a freight drop.
API and DMS integration — dispatch at scale
Dealer groups dispatching 20+ deliveries per month integrate with CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerSocket and others. Delivery is triggered automatically when the sale status changes to 'delivered' in your DMS. Live tracking returned to your CRM. Consolidated invoicing per location. 2026 FMCSA broker rule met: BMC-84 bond current, MOTUS carrier verification before every dispatch.
How Dealership delivery Car Shipping Works
Submit the sale via portal, CSV, or API
VIN, customer address, delivery window, any special handoff notes. API call from your DMS works the same way. Local deliveries dispatched same day; regional within 24 hours.
Pickup at your lot with condition documentation
MOTUS-verified driver arrives in your pickup window, walks the lot manager through the vehicle, and takes timestamped photos of all four sides plus any existing marks. Photos and signed BOL emailed to your dealership within 2 hours.
Delivery to the customer with a brand-grade handoff
We coordinate the delivery window with the buyer directly. Driver arrives clean and on time, walks the customer through the condition report, captures the signed acceptance, and emails the delivery packet to you within 2 hours.
Most shipments take between 3–10 days depending on route distance, weather, traffic, and scheduling availability.
From $250 same-day local · $350–$650 regional (100–500 mi) · $600–$1,000 multi-state (500–1,500 mi)
Pricing reflects a standard sedan on open transport. Enclosed delivery (luxury / exotic) adds 30–50%. Volume dealer accounts receive negotiated per-unit rates with consolidated monthly invoicing.

Dealership delivery vs auction shipping — which one do you need?
Dealership delivery moves a sold vehicle from your lot to your customer's address — last-mile consumer delivery with a formal condition handoff. Auction shipping moves purchased inventory from an auction to your lot. Both run under the same dealer account and account manager.
