Wilmington, North Carolina
Car Shipping To and From Wilmington, NC
Wilmington is where I-40 ends at the Cape Fear coast, and where our Charlotte to Wilmington lane on US-74 finishes. We ship cars to and from the port city, the beach towns and the rest of southeastern North Carolina.

Getting a car to the Cape Fear coast
Two main roads bring car haulers into Wilmington. I-40 comes down from Raleigh and ends here, and US-74 comes in from Charlotte through Monroe, Rockingham and Lumberton. Our Charlotte to Wilmington lane runs that US-74 corridor. Once in town, US-17 runs up the coast toward Jacksonville and down toward Myrtle Beach, US-421 heads north, and I-140 swings around the city to the north and west.
We serve Wilmington and New Hanover County, plus Leland and the rest of northern Brunswick County, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Hampstead and Porters Neck.
Beach houses, retirees and seasonal moves
People retire to the coast or buy a second home near the beach, and the car has to come too. Some owners split the year between the coast and somewhere else and want the car in both places. We ship it down when you arrive and back when you leave. Our page on seasonal car shipping covers how to plan those moves.
Beach towns and island streets can be tight for a full car hauler. If the address is on a narrow street, tell us when you book and we will agree on a meeting spot with you before the driver heads out.
Students and service members
UNC Wilmington students ship cars in at the start of the school year and back home when they leave. Up US-17, Camp Lejeune brings Marines and their families through the region on new orders. We ship single cars for both, anywhere in the continental U.S., on an open trailer or enclosed for a classic or high-value car.
Coastal dealers
Wilmington stores trade with dealers in Charlotte, Raleigh and other states, and buy units at auction. We run those dealer trades and auction pickups, along with customer deliveries and store-to-store moves. Several units can go on one order. Call the dealer desk at (980) 552-1101.
From quote to delivery
A real person quotes every move. After you book, we assign a vetted, fully insured carrier and confirm the driver, the truck, the pickup window and the expected delivery window before anything moves. If something changes on the road, you hear it from us first. The client portal at fctorders.com shows your orders, the driver's live location while active, and the delivery BOL for each car. Sign in with your email and a 6-digit code.
