Only Work With Professional Auto Transport Companies!
Transporters should be fully licensed by the Federal Government!
And fully insured to protect your car from damage!
All legitimate auto transport companies are licensed and bonded by the U.S. Federal Government's Department of Transportation (DOT), make sure your carrier is approved and licensed to operate in the United States!
Your car should be insured by the carrier!
Professional car shipping companies carry full insurance for their cargo (your car). There should be no additional charge for insurance on your car during your move (except for international and overseas moves).
Your car's safety is our #1 priority at United Auto Transport and all of our drivers are licensed and insured!
Beware of hidden charges!
When receiving a quote, beware of unrealistically low quotes and additional charges.
Some common tricks include:
- Fuel surcharge charges - Suddenly the quote is exponentially more because of "rising fuel costs"
- Delivery and holding fees - Many bargain bin transport companies use "terminals" to hold your car for days until they can actually move it, some even charge for this "privilege"
- State and Federal "Taxes" - Auto transportation is a service and should never be taxed!
United Auto Transport always quotes you a flat rate, no additional fees or hidden charges!
The Costs of Car Shipping
Here are the factors considered in how much it costs to move your car:
- Distance - Longer routes mean more fuel used
- Location - Smaller towns and less popular destinations may raise costs as they require detours from standard trucking routes
- Time of Year - Busier times of the year actually drive down your costs due to the frequency of trucks being sent to that area!
- Type of Vehicle - Larger cars such as SUV weigh more and use more space on our trailers, resulting in a slightly higher cost
- Open or Enclosed Transport - For maximum protection against the elements, completely enclosed trailers may be requested to move your car!
