American Auto Transport receives hundreds of emails and phone calls a month from customers asking us about our prices. We’ve noticed that many customers simply don’t understand why they’ve received so many different quotes in different price ranges for the same move. It has become clear to us that our customers, both current and prospective, deserve to know how to select an auto transport company.

The first step is pricing. One of the most common and important factors in selecting a company is pricing. Pricing is what determines if and when your vehicle will be picked up. Consumers are almost always tempted to immediately select the auto transporter that provides them with the lowest quote. Unfortunately, selecting an auto transporter by this means rarely if ever ends with good results.

Many customers of ours initially don’t seem to remember that it costs drivers a certain amount of money to transport your vehicle. These costs are generally based on the locations that you’re leaving from, the mileage between the origin and destination, and the type of vehicle that you’re transporting. Many of the quotes that you’ll receive do not reflect these costs.

The truth is that many auto transport companies do not know or do not care about giving their customers realistic prices. Despite what you may hear from the transporters that you’ll speak, virtually none of them own or operate their own carriers. Instead, they must offer bids to real carriers. Carriers, unlike auto transport brokers, have real costs. Therefore, you should not be surprised when a carrier does not want to transport your vehicle because your auto transport broker is offering him the lowest bid. The lowest bid NEVER wins the auction, and the lowest auto transport quote NEVER gets your car shipped. Carriers often have a large selection of correctly priced vehicles to choose from and will simply NOT pick your vehicle up if it is underpriced.

Has the pickup date for your car shipping already passed without you hearing from anyone? Is the company that you hired at the lowest price suddenly raising your price by hundreds of dollars? If so, you should cancel with that auto transport company immediate and call American Auto Transport at (866) 327-7863.
