Every year, thousands of students move between states for college. Whether it’s heading back to campus, starting a new semester, or relocating for an internship, shipping your car can make your life a lot easier.
Navi Auto Transport helps students and parents ship cars affordably and fast, with express pickup options and exclusive student discounts.
🎓 Why College Students Choose Car Shipping
Driving cross-country or across several states can be expensive, time-consuming, and stressful — especially during busy back-to-school season. Shipping your car:
- ✅ Saves long travel hours and road trip costs
- 🛡 Keeps your car safe from unnecessary wear & tear
- 🕒 Fits perfectly with flight or move-in schedules
- 🚘 Lets you have your car waiting for you when you arrive
“We created our student shipping program to make car transport simple, affordable, and fast for families,” says Ivan Karakostov, CEO of Navi Auto Transport.
🚀 Express Pickup — Perfect for Move-In Week
College shipping is time-sensitive. That’s why Navi offers Express Pickup to ensure your car is picked up quickly — often within 24 to 48 hours.
- 🕒 Priority scheduling for students during peak move-in and move-out weeks
- 🧭 Real-time tracking & ETA updates

💡 Tip: Book your shipment at least 1–2 weeks in advance for the best pricing and availability.
