Recent Auto Transport Reviews

Read what some of our customers have to say about their recent car shipping experience with American Auto Shipping

Military move and had to ship my 2001 Toyota Camry from NC to WA. Spent a month looking at reviews on yelp and found this company. Aerin walked me through the process with no pressure and felt comfortable going with American Auto. Simple, no hassle and cost less then most of the shipping companies I talked to. From pickup to drop off everything went smoothly. I have already recommended American Auto to a few soldiers already and would highly recommend American Auto Shipping as they will be the only company I need to call for my next move!!

Transport Reviews

I needed to transport a car and truck from the SW US to the East Coast US. The transportation price was very competitive. I did shop around for competing prices and American Auto Shipping came in as the lowest. I even got a discount for 2 cars transported. My contact, Aerin, was very supportive throughout the process even when I was indecisive. The cars are insured while in transport and you're in contact with the truck driver when they're in range of the destinations. My cars actually arrived earlier than expected which was a pleasant surprise. I'd be happy to transport again with them.

Had a great experience with Rachel and the American Auto Shipping company. I initially wanted to ship my car from Texas to California at the end of the month. Fortunately, Rachel was able to find me a driver and a great quote. The driver picked up my car on Tuesday and dropped my car to me Thursday evening. Great experience, I would definitely use American Auto Shipping Company and recommend friends and family to use them if they need to ship a vehicle.

How much does it cost to ship my car?

Size & Type of Vehicle

The size and type of your vehicle influences your auto transport price. Larger vehicles are heavier (trucks, vans) than a typical car, and as a result, can cost more.

Open vs Enclosed

Transporting your car on an open carrier is cheaper, because it is more widely available across our fleet. Most people use open auto transport for the savings.

Transport Distance

The further the vehicle has to go, the more expensive it will be. Cross country auto transport is the most expensive. To save on distance, consider taking delivery in a nearby big city to save a few bucks.

Learn More About Auto Transport

In our industry, there are two types of companies: Carriers & Brokers.

Brokers vs. Carriers

When looking for a car shipping company, it’s best to stick to brokers, as they are the ones that will actually organize your shipment and handle all the money and paperwork. Not only that, brokers tend to keep transport prices lower, and here’s why: in our industry, auto transport carriers basically set the prices. They are in control of how much the shipping service ends up costing, and if they had their way, you would be paying thousands of dollars per car shipped. As a top transportation company, we understand what it takes to get your vehicle moved at a competitive rate.

Brokers Keep Your Costs Low

Brokerages, however, keep car shipping prices low by being competitive with one another. Since most carriers must take car transport loads from brokerages, they won’t price gouge customers because a customer can just go with a different broker. Finding good auto shippers starts with car shipping quotes; from there, you book your order with a broker and the broker will then find a good carrier to transport your vehicle.

What Can I Transport?

American Auto Shipping focuses on shipping cars, trucks and SUVs, but we can move more than just those. Always check with us. as we ship oversized vehicles such as vans, dual wheel trucks, box trucks, and even larger vehicles on flatbeds and lowboys. Make sure that you have the dimensions of any oversize vehicle available that you want to ship, as we will require the dimensions before giving you a quote. Usually the length, height, width and weight of the vehicle moved are required for your auto transport. Call us to get a quote or reserve your shipment today.

What Is A Carrier?

Some auto shippers are known as carriers. These companies are the companies that actually transport the vehicle on their own trucks. Other auto transport companies are known as brokerages, and they are the ones that will be arranging the vehicle transport between you and the carrier. When you fill out our free instant online car shipping quote request form, you will receive an estimate of how much it will be to ship your vehicle on one of our carriers. All our carriers are fully insured for $750,000. Carriers are required by federal law to carry $750,000 worth of insurance on their truck to cover any and all damages that are caused by the driver or theft during car transport.

Go National Instead of Local

Searching for a nationwide auto transportation company will always yield better results on price. It may be tempting to do a search for car transport companies in your area, but the reality is that the best car shipping companies work nationwide, can ship your car cross country and almost always will be based somewhere other than where you are. Nationwide companies, like us, are also able to offer great deals compared to local movers.
