How car transport from Kochi works
The carrier picks up the car from your address in Kochi, photographs it from every side on a condition report you both sign, loads it onto an open multi-car carrier and delivers it to your new address. The car is carried, not driven, so the meter and the tyres are the same at delivery as at pickup.
Open carriers move most cars and cost less. A covered single-car carrier is worth the extra cost for a luxury, modified or vintage car, where dust and weather on a long trip really matter.
Pickup and delivery at your door, or a depot drop where it is cheaper
Condition report photographed and signed at both ends
Confirm the transit insurance cost and declared value with your carrier
Fuel kept low and personal belongings removed before loading
Preparing your car before the carrier arrives
Ten minutes of preparation prevents most problems at delivery. Carriers won't take a car full of personal things. They are not covered by the transit insurance, and the extra weight is a legal problem for the carrier.
Empty the boot and cabin; personal items are not insured in transit
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel: enough to load and drive off, not more
Photograph dents and scratches yourself before pickup
Hand over one key, keep the spare, and remove the FASTag if you want it
Carry the RC, insurance and a valid PUC; the carrier needs them for the LR (lorry receipt)

Other services in Kochi
The same verified movers offer these too, and one request can cover more than one of them.
It depends on the route. Kochi to Coimbatore (190 km) usually costs ₹1,414–₹2,275 for a hatchback or sedan on an open carrier, and the table above lists the other routes from Kochi. An SUV costs about 25% more; a covered carrier is quoted after a survey.
Is my car driven or carried?
Carried. The car is loaded onto a car carrier and stays on the truck for the whole trip, so the meter reading and the tyres are unchanged at delivery. Anyone offering to drive it there is offering a cheaper and riskier service.
How long does delivery take?
Kochi to Coimbatore is 190 km, about 3–4 hrs of driving. A multi-car carrier picks up and drops several cars, so allow a day or two more. The carrier confirms a delivery window at booking.
Is the car insured during transport?
Yes, transit insurance is available. Ask whether it is included or costs extra, and confirm the declared value and claim process before loading. Keep the signed condition report and photos from pickup and delivery.
Can I keep belongings in the car?
No. Carriers need the cabin and boot empty. Personal things are not covered by the transit insurance, they add weight the carrier isn't allowed to carry, and they cause the most arguments at delivery. Move them with your household goods instead.
How much fuel should be in the tank?
About a quarter tank. That is enough to load the car onto the carrier and drive it off at the other end. A full tank adds weight and is a fire risk on a loaded carrier, so most carriers ask you to run it down first.
What documents do I need?
The RC (registration certificate), a valid insurance policy and a current PUC certificate. The carrier needs them to make the LR (lorry receipt). Keep a copy of the LR, because any claim depends on it.
Can I transport a car and my household goods together?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper to book them on the same request. Your household goods and the car travel in different vehicles on different schedules, but one mover handles both and quotes them together.
Open or covered carrier?
Open is what most people book: it is cheaper, leaves more often and is fine for a normal car. A covered carrier protects against dust and weather and is worth it for a luxury, modified or vintage car on a long trip.
Are the carriers verified?
Yes. Every mover passes GST verification, a background check and a physical office check before they appear here, and their real Google rating is on their profile. Comparing quotes is free.
