Travel Nurse Car Shipping

Car Shipping Designed for the Travel Nurse Lifestyle

You just accepted a 13-week contract at a hospital across the country. Your start date is in two weeks. The last thing you want to deal with is a multi-day cross-country drive — or worse, being stuck without your car at your new assignment.

That's where we come in. Lepke Auto Transport ships your vehicle to your next assignment while you fly. Your car arrives at your new city, ready for you on day one. No road trip exhaustion, no wear on your car, no wasted PTO days spent driving.

We've been shipping vehicles since 1991, and travel nurses are one of our fastest-growing customer groups. We understand the 13-week cycle, the quick turnarounds, and the fact that your schedule revolves around patient care — not logistics. Let us handle the transport while you focus on what you do best.

How It Works for Travel Nurses

• Accept Your Assignment: Once you know where you're heading, give us a call or fill out our quote form. We'll provide a guaranteed price for your route.
• Book Before You Leave: We recommend booking 1–2 weeks before your start date. We'll coordinate pickup at your current location and delivery at your new city.
• Fly to Your Assignment: Get on a plane and start your new rotation. Your car is being handled by a vetted, insured carrier.
• Car Arrives at Your Door: Your vehicle is delivered door-to-door at your new location, typically within 3–10 days depending on distance.
• Repeat Next Assignment: When your 13 weeks are up and you're headed to your next contract, call us again. Repeat customers get a $50 discount on top of the $25 nurse discount.

Why Travel Nurses Love Shipping Their Cars

• Save Time: A cross-country drive takes 3–5 days. A flight takes a few hours. Start your assignment rested and ready instead of road-weary.
• Save Money on Wear & Tear: 2,000+ miles of driving means gas, oil changes, tire wear, and depreciation. Shipping often costs less than driving when you factor in all expenses.
• Have Your Car at Every Assignment: Public transit isn't reliable everywhere. Having your own car means independence — getting to work, exploring your new city, and running errands on your schedule.
• No Added Stress: Your job is stressful enough. Let someone else worry about the drive.
• Consistent Service: Work with the same company every assignment. We keep your details on file for quick repeat bookings.

Stack Your Discounts

As a travel nurse, you can take advantage of multiple discounts:

• $25 Healthcare Hero Discount: Available on every shipment. Use code NURSE25 or mention it when you call.
• $50 Repeat Customer Discount: Ship with us more than once? You automatically qualify for our repeat customer pricing. That's up to $75 off on your second shipment and beyond.

With assignments every 13 weeks, that adds up fast. Many of our travel nurse customers ship with us 3–4 times per year and save hundreds over time.

Flexible Scheduling for Healthcare Professionals

We know travel nurse schedules can be unpredictable. Contracts get extended, start dates shift, and sometimes you find out your next assignment on short notice. We're built for that flexibility:

• Quick Bookings: Need a car shipped ASAP? We can often arrange pickup within days for time-sensitive moves.
• No Cancellation Fees: Plans change. If your assignment falls through, you won't be penalized.
• $0 Upfront: You don't pay anything until your car is actually assigned to a carrier and dispatched. Zero financial risk.
• One Phone Call: Your dedicated Lepke representative handles everything. No navigating phone trees or repeating your story to different agents.
