Car Shipping Made Easy and Affordable

Our sales representatives quote prices based on a wide range of factors, including a client's vehicle type, the route (starting point to destination), fuel costs, mileage, and availability.

We never hesitate to give a potential client a line-by-line quote of our best price without any games. We are clear about our costs, any fluctuating costs, and extra fees. For example, Classic Car Shipping in an Enclosed Auto Transport can run $500 to $2,000 more than shipment using an Open Carrier Car Shipping. We are upfront with our clients about this fact because we do not want any confusion or upset about our fees. We treat our customers the same way we would want to be treated in the same scenario.

It's important to note that we do provide discounts in certain scenarios. Active military members, for example, receive Military Car Shipping discounts in honor of their service to our country.

Some vehicle owners think that if they wait to schedule the transportation until the last minute, they might receive a great deal or discount or the opportunity to use one company's cheaper quote to negotiate a deal with another more expensive company. Although there is always the chance that they might pay less by waiting, the fact is that economic changes, nationwide shortages, fuel costs, global conflicts and increased supply and demand have made all types of personal and professional transportation much more expensive than they were even a few months ago.

The cost of fuel is by far the biggest factor to take into consideration when it comes to auto transport. If a client waits even a week or two after they receive a quote to schedule a pickup, they risk receiving a new, higher quote because of higher fuel costs. If part shortages continue or worsen, the price can increase depending on when the news breaks.

The cost of fuel is by far the most important thing to think about when it comes to car transport. If a client waits even a week or two after getting a quote to plan a pickup, they risk getting a new, higher quote because fuel prices have gone up. If there aren't enough parts or the shortage worsens, the price may go up based on when the news comes out.

The best way to ensure a safe and stress-free experience is by hiring a top professional auto transport provider such as American Auto Transport. While you may think driving your car yourself is a more cost-effective option, hidden expenses like gas, food, lodging, and potential wear and tear on your car could add up.

Furthermore, transporting your car with a reputable auto shipping service like American Auto Transport saves you time and money by providing efficient open and enclosed transport services. With American Auto Transport, you can rely on a team dedicated to meeting your schedule and budget needs.

Absolutely! The time of year can affect how much you'll pay for car transporters. Many factors influence car shipping rates, including driver availability, weather, demand for services, and the current season. Don't worry, though; our car shipping calculator considers everything, giving you accurate auto-shipping quotes.

Typically, summer and winter may hike up car shipping costs due to driver availability issues and high demand, while the fall and spring may offer slightly lower prices. So, plan accordingly to save a few bucks while shipping your vehicle.

We highly recommend that you refrain from packing personal items in your car during transportation as it may result in detrimental damage to the interior of your vehicle due to shifting during transit.

Moreover, additional contents in the car may obstruct the driver's view while loading or add additional weight to the vehicle, creating additional risks. It is crucial to understand that American Auto Transport cannot be held responsible for any damage caused during transit due to these additional items.

This question is often the first one that many people ask our sales and other representatives after receiving a custom quote for transportation services based on their unique situation. Our rates are all guaranteed prices. That said, our price quotes are based on the previously mentioned factors. Even a suddenly busier route or an event that closes off a preferred route can cause a fluctuation in price. If a potential client waits too long to schedule, then they risk losing their quoted price.

It is also important to note again that we charge additional fees for some services. Unlike some companies, our fees are never hidden from potential or existing clients. For example, we charge extra if a client needs pickup or delivery on a specific date, an enclosed carrier for an inoperable vehicle's specialty auto transport scenario, or replacement parts.

We charge extra for these services for several reasons. With on-demand pickup and delivery, we must pull a driver and transportation carrier from a pre-scheduled route especially to guarantee that we meet the custom pickup and delivery timeframes.

With a specialty vehicle that requires an enclosure, such as a classic car, we experience higher costs related to the purchase and maintenance of high-quality equipment and the enclosed carrier and insurance coverage. With an inoperable vehicle and replacement parts, one of our drivers must use extra equipment and take extra-special precautions to move the items to the carrier, which requires extra time and labor.

Additionally, it would be best if you informed us about the non-running condition beforehand to ensure they have the necessary equipment and expertise.

While it may be a pricier option, shipping your non-running vehicle can still be a convenient and stress-free way to transport your car. So, if you need to move your vehicle but it's not in running order, don't worry; just contact us.

It might seem redundant for us to have another section about price and our competition, but we sincerely want clarity about price. We guarantee our price and always be upfront about it. Other companies with lower prices do not offer that type of guarantee. Some vehicle carriers pull a bait and switch. They quote extremely low prices to attract consumers, and then they hit their customers with hidden fees. Many people receive a late or damaged vehicle because they choose a new or untested company.

For more than 19 years, our team at American Auto Transport has worked with over 2,500 third-party carriers to safely move more than $1 million in vehicles. We are the preferred shipper for not merely individuals.

We are repeatedly chosen by private corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, relocation companies, vehicle dealers, and government agencies. When a consumer chooses us, whether they are shipping a custom luxury vehicle or an inoperable vehicle they plan to eventually rebuild, they know that they have received the best possible service in the auto transport industry.
