    How to vet an auto shipping company — including us

    Three questions separate a real operation from a lead-farm. Ask them of every company on your list.

    Check 01

    Do they vet their carriers?

    Ask how they check a carrier’s license, insurance, and safety record — and when. A lead-farm sells your number to whoever bids. We verify all three before your car moves, on every load.

    Check 02

    Do they take money before a carrier is assigned?

    A deposit with no truck committed is how people get stranded. Once a company holds your money, its urgency is gone. You should owe nothing until a vetted carrier is on your job. With us, you don’t.

    Check 03

    Who answers the phone on day six?

    Call and ask for a name. If nobody can give you one, you’ll re-explain your shipment to a stranger every time something comes up. Here, one Transport Advisor owns your shipment from first call to delivery.

    Run this checklist on every company you’re comparing — including us.

    How It Works

    Three steps. One person the whole way.

    No phone tree, no handoffs, no re-explaining. Here’s what happens after you submit the form.

    STEP 01

    A real person calls you

    Submitting the form puts you in the call queue. Your Transport Advisor — a named human, not a bot — calls within minutes, prices your route, and answers every question.

    STEP 02

    We assign a vetted carrier

    License, insurance, and safety record verified before assignment. You pay no deposit until that’s done.

    STEP 03

    Door-to-door delivery

    Pickup at your door, delivery at the other end. The same Advisor keeps a direct line open from quote to drop-off.

    Book today and your car can be moving this week.

    Why It’s Safe

    We check every carrier before they touch your car

    Not once, when they joined — every single load.

    Operating LicenseActive federal operating authority with no recent lapses, confirmed at assignment.
    Insurance VerifiedCurrent cargo and liability coverage confirmed before your car is loaded.
    Safety Record ReviewedThe carrier’s federal safety record is checked before dispatch. A clean record gets the load.
    One Advisor AccountableThe person who quoted you tracks the carrier, the pickup, and the delivery. One name, one direct line.

    Ask every company on your list how they check these four. A real operation answers in detail — call us and we will: (800) 931-4311.

    “We just moved our car from Fremont CA to Dallas TX. Moving can be overwhelming specially when it’s such a long distance but United Car Shipping and Joe in particular makes the car shipping one less thing to worry about. The car was shipped in exactly 3 days.”

    “Joe was a huge help and kept his promises. He walked me through the entire process, picked up when he said they would and dropped off on time. It was a relief to get my car in Dallas and I highly recommend United Car Shipping.”

    Common Questions

    Choosing an auto shipping company

    What’s the difference between a broker and a carrier?

    Carriers own the trucks. Brokers arrange the right carrier for your route. Most shipments go through a broker, because no single carrier covers every lane in the country. The question that matters is whether the broker vets — we check every carrier’s license, insurance, and safety record before your car is assigned.

    How do I verify a company’s insurance?

    Ask for the carrier’s certificate of insurance before pickup. It should show current cargo and liability coverage — any legitimate company will produce it. We verify both on every load before assignment, and your Transport Advisor will walk you through the certificate if you ask.

    What happens if my car is damaged in transport?

    The carrier’s cargo insurance covers it. At delivery, compare the car against the pickup condition report, note any damage on the delivery report before you sign, and photograph it. We confirm the carrier’s coverage is current before pickup, so the policy is live if you need it — and your Advisor handles the claim with you.

    Why does “no deposit until a carrier is assigned” matter?

    It keeps the company accountable. Once a company holds your money, its urgency drops — that’s where the horror stories start. You pay us nothing until a vetted carrier is committed to your car. If we don’t line one up, you don’t pay.

    How fast does someone contact me after I submit the form?

    Submitting the form puts you in the call queue, and a Transport Advisor — a real person, not an autoresponder — calls you within minutes during business hours (Mon–Sat, 7am–9pm). That same person stays your contact for the whole shipment.

    How do I know you’re legitimate?

    We’ve shipped over 500,000 vehicles since 1989 — and the structure protects you either way. Every carrier we assign is checked for an active license, current insurance, and a clean safety record, and you pay no deposit until that carrier is assigned. Run our own checklist on us; there’s nothing to lose by getting the quote.
