Shipping cars in the Triangle
Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill make up the Triangle, with Research Triangle Park in the middle. In Raleigh itself, I-440 loops around the inner city as the Beltline and I-540 makes a wider loop through the suburbs. I-40 runs through on its way west to Durham and southeast to Wilmington, I-87 heads east along US-64, and US-1 and US-70 cross the county.
We pick up and deliver in Raleigh and across Wake County, including Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Garner, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina, plus Durham and Chapel Hill.
How Raleigh connects to Charlotte
From Charlotte, the usual run is I-85 north through the Triad to Greensboro, then I-40 east past Durham into Raleigh. The full lane is on our Charlotte to Raleigh route page. Dealer trades between the two metros move on it in both directions, along with families splitting a move between the two cities.
Going farther, I-40 takes a car from Raleigh down to the coast at Wilmington, I-95 runs north and south just east of the Triangle, and I-85 heads north from Durham into Virginia.
For Triangle dealers
Raleigh stores trade with dealers in Charlotte, the Triad and other states, and they buy units at auction. We handle dealer trades, auction pickups, new vehicle and customer deliveries, and store-to-store moves for groups with locations across the state. Our Raleigh dealer car transport page has the details.
On loads booked at our Guaranteed Delivery Rate, the delivery window is in writing. Terms apply; see the dealer guarantee page.
For students and people relocating
NC State and the other schools in the Triangle bring students in from all over, and a lot of them want their own car on campus. The Triangle also pulls in people relocating for work in and around Research Triangle Park. We ship single cars for both, along with cars bought from a seller in another state.
Most of these ride on an open trailer. Classic, exotic and high-value cars can go enclosed. Read our prep guide before the driver arrives.
Booking a Raleigh move
A real person quotes every move; there is no price table and no instant quote. Once you book, we confirm a vetted, fully insured carrier, the driver, the pickup window and the expected delivery window. You can follow the order at fctorders.com, signing in with your email and a 6-digit code, and the delivery BOL is there after drop-off. A car that does not run can be moved, but tell us first because it changes the equipment.
