Tips to Save on Auto Transport Costs

  • Choose Kentucky Open Transport: It’s the most budget-friendly option for standard vehicles.

  • Ship Multiple Vehicles Together: Bundling vehicles can reduce the overall shipping cost.

Vehicle Preparation Tips

  • Document Your Vehicle’s Condition: Take clear photos before transport to record its current state.
  • Clear Personal Items: Remove all personal belongings (if possible) to avoid issues during shipping.
  • Check Your Vehicle’s Battery and Fluids: Ensure everything is in working order before pickup.
  • Disable Toll Tags: This will prevent unnecessary transactions during transport.

Pickup and Delivery Inspections

  • Pickup Inspection: Our drivers perform a thorough inspection of your vehicle before loading, documenting its condition.
  • Delivery Inspection: Upon delivery, inspect your vehicle to ensure it arrived in the same condition as when it was picked up. Sign off on the paperwork once you’re satisfied.

Kentucky: Accessibility, Weather, and Road Conditions

Kentucky, with a population of over 4.5 million and a GDP of approximately $248 billion, features a robust highway network that includes major routes such as Interstates 64, 65, and 75, facilitating efficient vehicle transport across the state. Key cities like Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green are easily accessible, ensuring a smooth shipping experience for urban and rural destinations alike.

Kentucky’s diverse weather conditions can create transport challenges. Winters often bring snow and icy roads, particularly in northern regions, while spring and summer months are prone to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, with occasional flooding risks. To navigate these potential hurdles, ATP relies on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) for up-to-date information on road conditions, traffic delays, and construction zones.

Using tools like Kentucky’s 511 Travel Information, ATP proactively monitors real-time road and weather updates, ensuring vehicles are transported safely and on schedule. Whether shipping to the bustling hubs of Louisville and Lexington or to Kentucky’s scenic rural areas, our expert logistics team ensures that your vehicle arrives in pristine condition.

Testimonials

Paul Koether

I transport my car every winter from Texas to Florida and back. This year is the first time it has been painless. Auto Transport did everything as promised. Mike Surgen and his driver did a great job. I plan to be a repeat customer. Not the cheapest but the best. Avoid "bargains" in auto transport.

Scott Findley

Could not have been happier with the delivery of my classic Mustang. Easy engagement and setup, great communication and delivery. Transport driver was courteous, no problems at all. Thanks for making it easy.

Keith & Debbie

Had a great experience with ATP. They were able to ship my bike in 2 days from Wisconsin to Virginia when other companies said it would take 20-28 days and they did it at a lower price. ATP was in constant communication with me via phone, email, and texting. I absolutely will use ATP for all future transportation needs. I highly recommend them.

FAQ

The time it takes to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors including total miles traveled. It can range from 1-2 days for short-haul transport and up to 7-10 days for cross-country transports. Once a truck has been assigned we will provide the actual pickup day and time along with an estimated delivery date. As we get closer to the day of delivery we will communicate the actual drop time window.

Yes, we can guarantee a specific pickup and/or delivery date. This guarantee will require additional fees to ensure the required dates are met. The majority of our transports are picked up and delivered in the window of time that our customers are willing to accept. However, keep in mind that picking up the vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be starting its journey that same day.

You may either pay a deposit before pickup by major credit card (3-4% processing fee depending on card type) and pay the remaining balance Cash On Delivery (COD) to the driver upon delivery or pay the full amount prior to delivery. Keep in mind if you are planning to pay COD, it must be done by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
