Dealership Car Transport – New | Leased | Pre-Owned

Working at a dealership can put a lot of demands on your time, energy and resources. Customers have high expectations, you have targets to meet, a large selection to fill, and you want everyone to have the best experience – so you continue to get great reviews and referrals. When you have a customer who has auto transport needs, or one who wants to buy a specific model in a particular color, with a unique options package – one that’s not in your inventory and could take weeks from the factory, but happens to be available at a dealership in another state – you want dealer auto shipping without any mishaps.

We understand Dealer car transport needs and values

Ever worked with dealership transporters who didn’t come through for you? Did they send the wrong trailers, or couldn't load your vehicles? We hear you – We have a combined 40 years of experience offering our dealer transport service and we know what a tight bind it puts you in, when you’ve promised a delivery that’s at risk of not arriving on the date your customer expects. If another auto transport service dropped the ball, we can probably run with it, and work with you to save the day.

Or perhaps you’re growing, and you need to add another reliable logistics company for dealerships to your roster for peak seasons, or in areas you may not currently have enough coverage. If you have a recurring need to ship cars to other states or across the country, it’s vital to have access to a large network of carriers to provide nationwide auto transport . We carefully screen to select the cream of the crop − particularly for our new-car-dealer partners. Our selected carriers are skilled pros, expert at loading vehicles on and off efficiently to minimize jockeying along the way – something that’s especially important with brand-new cars and high-end vehicle transports.

We relate to Customers’ dealer transport requirements

As a customer, when you find the car of your dreams, it may not be at your local dealer. Perhaps you saw it online or in other state -- and sometimes it’s up to you to ship your car from the dealership. Or maybe you’ve simply decided to check out dealer auto transport quotes yourself, and see if direct or online car shipping is a better option. Here are some factors to consider – especially if you’re shipping a luxury vehicle or you need exotic car transport. First, car dealership transport reviews are vital. How large is the company, and what is their claims rate? We see some car transporters touting a claims rate of “less than 5%”, which in our view is laughably high. Ours is less than 1 in 1,200 transports. That’s an incident rate of less than 0.08%, which means 99.92% of our direct and dealership car deliveries arrive without any kind of issue related to the condition of the vehicle.

Second, the availability of an instant, online dealer shipping quote is important – without the hassle of sharing your name or phone number – because who wants any pesky sales followup calls?! (We hate those too – and we never call unless you ask ... or after you book your order.) We do invite you to share just your email, so we can send you a copy of the instant quote you’ll see on your screen. Then, if you want to book later, you can refer back to the rates you saw. We guarantee car transport quotes for up to 14 days: twice the industry norm. Third, we know good value is key: that optimal balance between a competitive price and reliable service. We offer bumper to bumper insurance and we do an extensive inspection report paperwork with special care to document the condition the car was picked up in.

How much does it cost to ship a car from a dealership?

Dealer car transport costs ~$1.40 per mile for 1-500 miles. So, a 350 mile trip would cost $490. The longer the distance, the lower the price: moving a car ~1000 miles drops it to $1 a mile, or $1000. Our dealer auto transport service for car shipping can be as little as $.60 cents per mile.

Dealer shipping fees can vary based on vehicle size/weight, location, time of year, and whether you choose an option such as express shipping, an additional 30%. Open transport, on those large 7-10-car carriers you see on the roads, works well for 80% of car buyers -- whether shipping a brand-new or pre-owned vehicle. But enclosed car shipping is strongly recommended for anything worth >$70,000. Enclosed trucks carry just 2-6 vehicles, so transport costs 40-60% more but the additional peace of mind is worth it for most customers in that situation. Of course, when shipping a new Porsche, a Bentley, Bugatti or other ultra-high-end car, it’s the only way to go.
