Insured under federal cargo liability requirements. Coverage is part of the quote, not an add-on.
Your price holds for 28 days. Cancel free until 7 days before pickup.
Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.
One percent of every booking funds Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on transport and energy emissions.
Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
Really nice company, the whole process was fast and easy peasy.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

Delaware has no sales tax, but a car still pays something to come in. The DMV charges a document fee when it titles a car, 5.25% since October 1, 2025, up from 4.25%, and it applies to cars people bring with them as well as cars bought here.
Delaware charges its document fee on a newcomer’s car at its current value, unless sales tax was paid on it elsewhere within 90 days.
So a car you’ve had for a few years is charged on what it’s worth now, not on what you paid for it. The 90 days count back from the day Delaware titles the car, and inside them a sales tax, a transfer tax or a similar levy paid on the purchase in the other state all qualify.
A car bought shortly before the move is the one that escapes the fee, and only with proof. Keep the receipt or contract that shows the tax, since the DMV waives the fee only when it sees it.
If the move makes you a Delaware resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked October 2026 against Delaware Code, Delaware DMV. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Delaware gives a new resident 60 days from the move to register their car. Before it is titled, the car itself goes to one of the four DMV facilities, in Wilmington, Delaware City, Dover or Georgetown, to be inspected. The newest seven model years may only need their VIN checked. The document fee is paid when the title is issued.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
To ship a car, request a quote with your origin, destination, and vehicle details. Sequoia matches you with a driver according to your pickup window, the driver picks up your vehicle, and delivers it at your destination.
Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 40 to 70% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.
