Costco Auto Transport

You can get just about anything at Costco, and you may be surprised to learn that you can even buy cars through them as well. While they don’t manufacture or sell their cars, they do act as a go-between for auto dealers that offer special discounts and savings through the Costco Auto Program. Dealers pay a small fee to be included as part of the program since it’s a great way for them to match customers with the vehicles they have for sale. Currently, Costco is partnered with more than 3,000 authorized dealers that offer a variety of cars and make it easy for their members to find exactly what they’re looking for. Once you’ve decided to purchase a car through the program, you may wonder it will be delivered to you, which begs the question, does Costco provide auto transport services?

The answer is “sort of.” Much like their car buying options, Costco effectively works through dealerships that can offer auto transport services, but they don’t ship independently of those arrangements, not do they have carriers of their own that will deliver vehicles. In other words, they can help you coordinate car shipping through the same dealers that they work with to connect consumers with options from the dealerships. Many dealerships either ship cars as part of their services, or they more frequently have a preferred auto transport company that they work with.

Since Costco doesn’t ship cars and it’s arranged through the dealers, that means that you as the consumer have the option of which car shipping company you prefer. Dealers may have their own preferred companies they work with, but it is critical to consider that the cost of transport is something that you may have to pay a little more for as well. This being the case, you can save money if you’re willing to find your shipper to pick up and deliver the car on your behalf.

While it may seem like all shippers are more or less the same, prices can and do vary from one company to another. Think of it this way: if an auto transport carrier has to make a trip specifically to deliver just your car, it will likely cost more than if they already have a scheduled trip in your area, which is often the case as shippers deliver vehicles on a regular basis. This is especially true of nationwide auto shippers since they have more routes and, typically, more business that takes their carriers to different parts of the country.
