How it works
Service & contract model
Listed type: Marketplace
Model: uShip describes its platform as a neutral marketplace, not a transportation service provider or a party to users' shipping agreements. Its user agreement identifies uShip, Inc. as the contracting entity.
Who performs the work:
A separately selected transportation service provider performs or arranges the transport under its own terms. Providers may be carriers or intermediaries such as brokers; establish who will physically handle the vehicle before booking.

Things to consider
The agreement says uShip does not prequalify or validate transportation providers' qualifications or guarantee that they will complete a shipment. Evaluate the selected provider before booking.

Fees and provider terms can vary, and optional protection is subject to exclusions and claim requirements.

Terms & practical checks
Before pickup, request cancellation through the shipment page; the provider may respond or dispute it. uShip's help page says cancellation can be made up to one year after booking and that a completed cancellation receives a full refund. Its Protection Plan terms say the plan fee is nonrefundable and control in a conflict, while its user agreement states an exception for completed shipment cancellations; confirm the treatment of that fee before purchase. The agreement directs cargo claims to the selected provider. For a purchased Protection Plan, its separate terms require written notice of loss or damage within seven calendar days of delivery, or scheduled delivery for non-delivery, as well as pre-shipment and damage photos. Storage availability and terms for vehicle shipments were not established in the reviewed sources.
Ask who contracts for the service and who actually performs the work. Confirm the inventory, dates, route, access and services in writing.
Compare estimate type, included charges, deposits, change fees and cancellation terms. Ask how loss or damage claims are handled.
If storage is involved, confirm its location, access, duration, charges, redelivery and protection terms.
Protection & claims
The optional uShip Protection Plan is not insurance and is secondary to other applicable protection or insurance. Reimbursement limits, processing fees and exclusions apply, including an exclusion for certain accidents while cargo is driven or towed on its own wheels. Coverage under a particular transporter's policy was not verified; ask for current policy details and confirm what applies to the vehicle and route.
If your move includes an interstate household-goods carrier, ask about its valuation options. Carrier valuation describes the carrier’s liability for loss or damage; it is not insurance. Separate insurance is a different product with its own terms and exclusions.
At the 2026-11-05 source check, the notes said: The vehicle page advertises free car listings, provider quotes and instant rates on eligible routes. Distance, vehicle size and condition, transport method and carrier availability can affect prices. The user agreement allows disclosed listing fees and booking service charges. Provider offers must be all-inclusive based on the supplied shipment details, but changes are permitted when shipment characteristics materially differ. Review the complete quote and fees before booking. This is not a move-specific quote; confirm the current scope and charges directly.
