Get Your Car to Campus Safely — $25 Student Discount
Going to college across the country is exciting. Driving there? Less so. Whether it's a freshman heading to their first semester, a junior returning from summer break, or a graduate transferring to a new university — shipping your car saves time, reduces stress, and keeps everyone safer.
Parents especially love this option. Instead of a long, exhausting road trip (or worrying about their 18-year-old driving solo across multiple states), auto transport gets the car to campus safely while the student flies. It's professionally insured, door-to-door, and one less thing to worry about during an already hectic time.
At Lepke Auto Transport, we've been shipping vehicles since 1991. We know the back-to-school rush, the end-of-semester crunch, and everything in between. Our $25 student discount makes an already affordable service even more accessible for college budgets.
Pro tip: Book 2–3 weeks before your move date during peak college shipping seasons (August and May). Carrier availability tightens during these periods, and early booking means better pricing and pickup windows.
If this is your first time shipping a car, here's what you need to know:
For parents coordinating: You can book and manage the shipment entirely on your student's behalf. Just designate who will be present at pickup (you or your student) and who will receive the car at delivery. We make it easy to split coordination between family members.

Absolutely. Parents book for their students all the time. You can coordinate the entire shipment — just let us know who will be present at pickup and who will receive the car at delivery. We can keep both the parent and student updated.
Yes! We pick up from dorms, campus parking lots, and off-campus apartments. The carrier may need to meet at a nearby accessible location if the campus roads can't accommodate the trailer, but we'll coordinate the specifics with your student.
It depends on distance and vehicle type. Short-distance moves (under 500 miles) typically run $400–$700, while cross-country moves range from $900–$1,500. Plus your $25 student discount. Get an exact quote using our form — it takes 60 seconds.
Yes, someone 18 or older must be present to sign the Bill of Lading at both pickup and delivery. If your student is under 18, you'll need to designate another adult (an RA, family friend, or relative) to be present.
