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

How long does vehicle transport take?

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.

Do you guarantee delivery Dates?

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.

How do I pay for my shipment?

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.
