The sequence
Route, vehicle, and dates produce a real number on screen with a manifest reference. Nothing is charged and nothing is held.
We post your shipment and assign a licensed carrier running your lane. You get the driver's name and phone the moment it is dispatched.
The vehicle is photographed and signed for at pickup, and again at delivery. Both records stay attached to your manifest number.
The argument
Most auto transport disputes come down to one question that nobody can answer: what condition was the vehicle in when it left? Here is our answer to that, before you ever need it.
Photographs from every angle, odometer reading, and the VIN plate. Existing damage is marked on the bill of lading and signed by the driver and by whoever hands over the keys.
The same photographs, taken again. You inspect before you sign. If something does not match, it is documented on the spot rather than argued about a week later.
Published rates
Estimates for a standard sedan on a door-to-door route. SUVs and pickups run higher. Your exact price depends on the specific lane, the season, and how flexible your dates are.

Non-running vehicles add a winch fee. Remote pickup or delivery areas carry a surcharge. Both appear in your quote before you book.
Business shipping
Auction lots, dealer trades, and fleet moves run on different terms than a one-time consumer shipment.
Questions
Not at booking. Nothing is charged until a carrier has been assigned to your shipment. If we cannot assign one, you owe nothing and you can cancel at any point before pickup.
A licensed broker. We do not own the trucks. We contract with vetted motor carriers, verify their authority and insurance, and stay responsible for the shipment from quote to delivery.
Roughly 1–3 days under 500 miles, 3–5 days for a typical cross-state move, and 6–8 days coast to coast. Your quote shows the estimate for your specific route.
Up to 100 lbs in the trunk is generally accepted, but personal items are not covered by cargo insurance and the carrier may refuse them. Ship anything valuable separately.
We ship it. The carrier needs a winch, which adds to the price, and the vehicle must roll, steer, and brake. Select "Does not run" in the quote and the fee is priced in.
Give a flexible pickup window instead of a fixed date. It typically saves 10–20% because carriers can fit you into an existing route rather than building one around you.
Every carrier we dispatch to carries cargo insurance. Coverage limits vary by carrier and are on the dispatch sheet attached to your order.
You document it at delivery before signing, against the pickup photographs. We file the claim with the carrier's insurer on your behalf.
