Every transfer brings the same scramble: who books the car, who pays, and why is HR fielding logistics calls again? Handled ad hoc, employee relocations bleed time and money in retail rates and receipts. A managed corporate car shipping program fixes that. We give businesses volume pricing, direct billing, and one point of contact, so relocation transport runs itself.
The short answer: Corporate car shipping for business means a managed relocation program — volume pricing, direct billing, a single invoice, and one point of contact for every employee move. It beats reimbursing fuel and hotels for a drive-it-yourself trip, and it spares HR the ad hoc scramble. Even a few moves a year can earn program rates.
Handled one move at a time, employee relocations are a drain. HR books a retail quote, the employee fronts money, finance processes a receipt, and everyone repeats it next transfer. A managed program replaces that with one repeatable path.
This page is the employer's side. For the full service and the employee's questions, see our corporate car relocation page. The goal here is simple: make every move run the same, predictable way.
The first win is the rate. A company that ships several cars, or runs an ongoing transfer program, earns volume discounts that one-off bookings never see. Repeat business for one client is efficient, and the savings pass through.
It takes less volume than most HR teams expect. Even a handful of moves a year can unlock program pricing. Our guide on per-vehicle relocation cost shows the baseline, and the program rate comes off that.
The caveat: discounts only apply when moves route through one partner. Scattered bookings pay retail every time.
The second win is the billing. With direct billing, we invoice the company for each move, so employees never front money or chase reimbursements. You can get one consolidated invoice instead of a stack of expense reports.
That cuts the administrative cost finance rarely accounts for. We tell teams that direct billing almost always wins once you count both the rate and the staff time. The employee's view of this, including the tax angle, is in our guide on who pays for the move.
The third win is the people side. Each move runs through one coordinator who handles scheduling, updates, and any hiccups. Your HR team stops fielding logistics questions from relocating employees.
For a batch of transfers, we track every vehicle to the right person and destination. We tell companies that a single point of contact is what turns relocation from a recurring headache into a hands-off benefit. The honest part: it only works if employees actually use the program, so we make the booking path the easy default.
A good program routes each move to the right method automatically. Standard employee cars ship open for value, the corporate norm. Executive and high-value vehicles use enclosed for protection.
Set one simple rule — open by default, enclosed for leadership — and every booking stays consistent. Our guide on executive vehicle moves covers the white-glove tier for leadership transfers.
Transfers stall, dates shift, and people change their minds. A program builds that in: tell us early and we reschedule or cancel within the carrier's terms. The one caveat is a cancellation after a driver is dispatched, which can carry a fee.
We also coordinate cleanly with your relocation or payroll team on the tax side, since employer-paid moves are often taxable to the employee under current law. Set up a program by pricing a sample lane on the car shipping calculator, verifying carriers with our FMCSA lookup, and calling us to build your rates.
Skip the averages. Our calculator pulls live diesel prices and real Google Maps distance for an actual price range on your exact route and vehicle — no spam, no obligation.

Start by sharing your typical transfer volume and lanes, and we build a program around them with agreed rates and a billing setup. There is no long contract to launch. We tell HR teams the goal is a simple, repeatable booking path so every relocation runs the same way instead of ad hoc.
Less than most HR teams expect. Even a handful of moves a year can earn better rates than one-off retail bookings, because handling repeat business for one client is efficient. We tell smaller companies to ask anyway, since program pricing is about consistency, not just raw volume.
We invoice the company directly for each move, so employees never front money or submit receipts. You can get one consolidated invoice instead of scattered reimbursements. We tell finance teams this cuts the administrative load and makes relocation transport a clean, predictable line item.
Yes. Each move runs through one coordinator who handles scheduling, updates, and any issues, so your HR team is not fielding logistics questions. We tell companies that a single point of contact is what turns relocation from a recurring headache into a hands-off benefit.
Yes. For a batch of transfers or an ongoing program, we keep you updated on each vehicle through pickup and delivery. We tell HR teams to share the employee names and lanes up front so every car is tracked to the right person and destination without back-and-forth.
Usually, yes. A program earns volume rates and removes the administrative cost of processing reimbursements, while reimbursement pays retail and creates paperwork. We tell finance teams that direct billing almost always wins once you count both the rate and the staff time saved.
Yes. Most employee cars ship open for value, while executive or high-value vehicles use enclosed. A program can route each move to the right method automatically. We tell companies to set a simple rule — open by default, enclosed for leadership — so every booking is consistent.
Tell us as early as possible and we reschedule or cancel within the carrier's terms. Plans change, and we build flexibility in. The honest caveat: a cancellation after a driver is dispatched can carry a fee, so a quick heads-up from HR protects the budget.
Yes, we cover nationwide lanes, including the corridors HR teams move on most. Some remote destinations take a bit longer to schedule because fewer carriers run them. We tell companies to flag rural origins or destinations early so we can plan the lane and hold the timeline.
We handle transport, not payroll, but we coordinate cleanly with your relocation or tax team. Under current law, employer-paid moving costs are often taxable to the employee, and many companies gross up. We tell HR to loop in payroll or a tax advisor so the benefit is set up correctly.
Tell us where you're shipping — we'll handle the rest. No obligation, no hidden fees.
