Insurance and Carrier Compliance
All carriers are licensed by FMCSA and DOT, bonded, and carry commercial cargo insurance.
Why Auto Transport Beats Driving Yourself
For long-distance moves, auto transport saves money, time, and stress. You avoid fuel costs, hotel stays, food expenses, wear and tear, and the time investment of multi-day driving.
What to Expect at Pickup and Delivery
At pickup, the driver inspects your vehicle and creates a bill of lading. At delivery, the driver conducts a final inspection. Note any concerns before signing the delivery receipt.
Choosing Between Open and Enclosed Transport
Most vehicles ship via open carrier transport. Enclosed transport adds 40-80% to the cost but provides full weather protection. We recommend enclosed for luxury vehicles, classic cars, and exotic vehicles.
Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport
Before pickup, clean the exterior, remove personal items, leave a quarter tank of fuel, disable car alarms, document existing damage with photos, and leave keys with the carrier.
Insurance and Carrier Compliance
All Xpress Auto Transport carriers are fully licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT), bonded, and carry commercial cargo insurance. Specifically, every carrier in our network maintains minimum liability coverage required by federal regulation, plus cargo insurance covering your vehicle while in transit. We verify carrier MC and DOT numbers, insurance certificates, and safety ratings before dispatching any shipment.
What to Expect During Transit
After pickup at your address, your vehicle moves through our carrier network with real-time tracking available. Specifically, you’ll receive periodic updates from the driver including approximate delivery timing as the carrier nears your destination. Furthermore, our dispatchers monitor every shipment and can answer questions throughout transit. At delivery, the driver conducts a final inspection comparing the vehicle’s condition to the original bill of lading. Any concerns should be noted before signing the delivery receipt.
