- One point of contact from quote to drop-off
Our home city
FCT is based near Charlotte, so this is the market we know best. Some streets in Uptown and South End are too tight for a full car hauler, and some apartment complexes around University City have gates a truck cannot get through. When that happens, we set a meeting spot close by and tell you before the driver arrives.
Charlotte also sits on two of the busiest interstates in the Southeast. I-85 runs northeast to Greensboro and Durham and southwest to Greenville, SC and Atlanta. I-77 runs north to Lake Norman and Statesville and south to Columbia. I-485 rings the whole city, and I-277 loops Uptown. Carriers pass through every day, which gives us more trucks to choose from when your car needs to move.
We pick up and deliver all over the metro: Uptown, South End, Ballantyne, Myers Park, NoDa, University City and the suburbs around them, including Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, Cornelius, Gastonia, Indian Trail, Waxhaw and, across the state line, Rock Hill.
For Charlotte dealerships
Most of our dealer work starts or ends in the Charlotte area. We run dealer trades between stores, auction pickups back to your lot, new vehicle and customer deliveries, store-to-store moves inside a dealer group, fleet and rental units, and off-lease returns. Several units at once is normal for us.
When your usual carrier falls through, we are the backup hauler you can call. You get the same contact on every order, so you are not explaining the deal twice. On qualifying loads our Guaranteed Delivery Rate puts the delivery window in writing (terms apply).
Our Charlotte dealer car transport page has the details, or call the dealer desk at (980) 552-1101 with the pickup, drop-off and VIN.
For people shipping their own car
People ship cars out of Charlotte for all kinds of reasons. A new job in another state. A car bought online from a seller three states away. A student starting at UNC Charlotte or heading off to school somewhere else. Snowbirds who spend the winter in Florida and want their own car there.
Everyday cars go on open trailers. Classic, exotic and high-value cars go in enclosed trailers. If you bought a car somewhere else and need it brought home, our guide to shipping an out-of-state purchase covers the paperwork and timing.
How a Charlotte shipment works
- A real person quotes it. Send the pickup, drop-off, vehicle and the date it is ready. There is no price table and no instant quote. Someone at the desk looks at the lane and gets back to you.
- We vet the carrier. Every carrier is checked before it touches the car, and every shipment is fully insured. The driver and truck are confirmed before pickup.
- We confirm the windows. You get the pickup window and the expected delivery window before the truck rolls. If anything changes on the road, you hear it from us first.
- Track it in the portal. Log in at fctorders.com with your email and a 6-digit code. You see all your orders, the driver's location while the driver is active, and the delivery BOL for each car.

Charlotte car shipping questions
Do you serve the towns around Charlotte?
Yes. Along with Charlotte itself we cover Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Concord, Gastonia, Indian Trail, Monroe, Waxhaw, Fort Mill and Rock Hill.
Can you pick up at a Charlotte dealership or auction?
Yes. Dealer lots, auctions, body shops, homes and offices all work. Tell us the address and any gate or release paperwork, and we confirm the pickup window before the truck is sent.
Can I reach a person in Charlotte?
Yes. The desk answers (980) 552-1101 Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern. You can send a request any time through the quote form or by email at info@fcttransport.com.
Can you move a car that does not run?
Often, yes. A car that does not run needs a truck with a winch, which changes who can take the load. Tell us up front and we look for the right equipment.
