Most shipments run door to door. If access is tight (narrow streets, low clearance), we will arrange a nearby meeting point.

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.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!

Texas lets a car bought for use in another state leave without its sales tax, and New York credits none of the Texas tax if it’s paid anyway. Between those two rules, the tax on a car bought in Texas for New York is settled at the dealer’s desk, before the car moves. Your own car owes no sales tax at either end. Once it’s delivered, New York’s rules on plates and inspection take over.
New York’s sales tax, at your local rate, is collected when you register the car, and nothing paid to Texas comes off it. New York’s credit chart lists Texas among the states whose motor vehicle tax it doesn’t count. So a sale that carried Texas tax is taxed twice.
The Texas side is where that’s avoided. Texas doesn’t tax a car bought for use outside the state, as long as the buyer gives the seller Form 14-312 at the sale and the car isn’t registered or driven in Texas beyond the trip out. A car collected at the dealer and driven nowhere in Texas keeps inside that rule, which is what happens when it goes straight onto the truck. Without the form the sale carries Texas’s 6.25% as well.
If the move makes you a New York resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked September 2026 against New York DMV. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

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.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
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.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
