Pickup & delivery

Local considerations for Arlington.

Street access

A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Arlington. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.

Winter prep

Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.

Highway handoff

If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-93 is often the quickest handoff point in Arlington.

Booking a week or two ahead usually gives you the most options. Holiday weeks and month-end moving days book up first.
