Michigan Auto Transport Resources


Before or after your car is shipped to or from Michigan, here are some important resources to make registration and local driving easier:

Michigan Secretary of State Services
Handle your vehicle registration, license plates, and title transfers through the
Michigan Secretary of State. You can visit local offices or complete many tasks online for extra convenience.


Emissions and Inspections
Most areas in Michigan do not require emissions testing, except for some commercial vehicles. Always check with your local county or Secretary of State office for current inspection rules.


Toll Roads in Michigan
Michigan has very few toll roads. The main one is the Mackinac Bridge, which charges a toll. No E-ZPass is required, but make sure to have a payment method ready if your route includes it.


Insurance Requirements
Michigan uses a no-fault insurance system. Drivers must carry personal injury protection, property protection insurance, and residual liability coverage. Confirm your policy meets all state minimums before driving.


Winter Driving Tips
If you're shipping your vehicle in the winter, expect snow and icy conditions, especially in northern Michigan. Check the Michigan DOT’s road conditions

“Chris helped me transport my car from Ann Arbor to Orlando when I relocated for work. He was patient with all my questions (and I had a lot), gave me a realistic quote, and followed up until my car arrived safely. The driver was super professional and respectful. Five stars all the way.”

“From the second I reached out to BUDGET, Elijah handled everything like a boss. He got me a carrier out of Flint the same week, no delays, no hidden fees. My BMW was delivered to Phoenix exactly when expected. Elijah even checked in after delivery now that’s customer service!”

"I was a little unsure at first because the quote was so much lower than others, but Andrew from Budget Auto Transporter proved it was the real deal. He didn’t bombard me with calls like other companies. Everything went easy, on time, and affordable. Thank you, Andrew!"

''Big move, tight schedule, and a classic car I didn’t trust with just anyone. Julian totally understood the assignment. He got me a driver with the right trailer setup and followed up after delivery. That kind of service is rare these days. If you're shipping to Indiana, trust these guys.”
