Need to deliver a shiny new car for a stand-out customer, on a very specific date? Or sending a show-stopping gift for a special occasion? You need an express shipping company you can trust. So if you’ve got a client who needs a guarantee with a 1-2 day window − or you need extra-speedy delivery to make up for unexpected prior lags now − express auto shipping can increase the chances for great outcomes all around.
Perhaps you’re moving: you planned your car transport well in advance, but the other auto transport company flaked out and now you’re in a jam. Or maybe your need to move a car came up at the last minute and it needs to go from San Diego to Springfield quick. Whatever the case − if you need it picked up fast, or on a specific pick-up date to stay on schedule, then expedited auto transport service can save your bacon.

When urgent transport required
When is express auto transport better than standard shipping?
There are 3 elements that determine whether direct express is right for you:
1. You need Pick-up very soon . . . or guaranteed on or by an exact date.
2. You need the Time-Interval between pick-up and drop-off to be as short as possible. For example, a standard nationwide auto transport might average 7-10 days, given other vehicles that must be picked up or dropped off along the way. But if you need your vehicle to arrive a couple of days sooner than average, we can make that happen with express shipping.
3. You need Drop-off guaranteed on or by an exact date, so you receive it in time.
Any one of these 3 factors might trigger a need for express vehicle transport, and you’ll definitely want the special handling that only expedited auto shipping can offer. We’ll assign a dedicated Coordinator who will tailor a schedule to your specific auto transport needs.
“My brother and I decided to surprise our parents at their 40th anniversary party with a new car. Unfortunately, it took us longer to agree on the specifics and to nail down the details with the dealer than we planned – so now I was in a time crunch to search through car shipping companies. Luckily we found them and our agent understood our needs and worked efficiently to get the car there before the party. I had just enough time to get the car washed, and get someone to tie a bow on it like on TV. Given the short notice, Gary and I were quite pleased with how it went.” Kristi McNally, 2016 GMC Yukon Denali, Plano Texas to Boise Idaho
What guarantee can I expect when I choose express shipping?
We guarantee you’ll have the vehicle picked up, or dropped off, on whichever date you choose – or we will refund the difference in cost vs. standard shipping PLUS give you an additional $100 refund out of our own pocket. This means we have a lot of skin in the game, since we pay the trucker a premium for express dispatch service even in the unlikely event he misses our commitment to you by even just 1 day.
• Sometimes, vehicle shipping involves variables beyond our control − including traffic, weather, delays resulting from other customers, or sometimes even an unexpected maintenance issue. While no transport company in the world can guarantee all 3 elements simultaneously (i.e., a locked-in Pick-up Date + locked-in Drop-off Date + shortest Time-Interval), our guarantee relates to whichever one of these elements is most important to you.
In any rare case that we are ever unable to fulfill a commitment we made regarding Express Auto Transport, here’s an illustration of how our guarantee works. Let’s say we offer a quote for standard shipping at $800, with a 30% premium (an additional $240) for the express option = a total of $1,040. If we or the trucker were unable to fulfill that commitment, we would refund the $240 premium for the express portion + a $100 as our apology, for a total $340 price reduction. That means you would receive the vehicle shipment at a net cost of just $700 to you (lower than even our standard shipping rate, and probably still faster than if we had not attempted expedited car shipping at all).
No fuzzy math here. We stand behind our word, even when it hurts. We know of no other car transport company across the United States that offers this type of financial guarantee. With our years of experience, we can ensure your vehicle is in good hands. Whether you look at our Yelp or BBB records, you'll see our notable reputation for door to door service. We want to make sure we do a great job for your shipment - no matter the type of vehicle.
Please note that express shipping may not be available on all routes, especially in rural locations. Seasonal demands may also affect availability. But once your Coordinator confirms it’s available and your order is dispatched, you can count on us to ensure you have a great experience and trust the accuracy of information given to you for your car shipping service.
How much does the expedited shipment cost?
Express service typically adds 30% to the cost (about $200-$300 on an “average” order) vs. standard shipping. That’s true whether you choose to ship your vehicle on an open-trailer, or within a fully-enclosed one. The additional cost stems from the extra effort required by both the dispatch team and our drivers to rearrange other customers’ pick-up or drop-off schedules, delay or rebook other clients who may have more flexible situations and who don’t mind accommodating your specific needs.
There may also be additional driving hours or fuel costs involved, as express shipping usually requires arranging for a pick-up or drop-off that is less efficient on a google-map basis − but which we gladly make for you as an express vehicle shipping client − to deliver when you have unique constraints.
Are you moving and looking to ship items in your car? According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, all personal items and household goods must be removed from the vehicle. It's for the safety of your car and the driver.

How long does it take to ship a car express?
In most cases, Express Vehicle Shipping can reduce lead-time for Pick-up from an average of 5-7 business days to as little as 1-2 business days from the time of your call or online booking. Just as often, express auto transport is used by our clients to obtain a guaranteed delivery date: for example, by customers who are flexible on their Pick-up date, but who must ensure the vehicle doesn’t get there before or after some specific day.
Let’s say there’ll be no one at your end to take responsibility for the vehicle’s arrival before “x” date − or the car must be on-hand as a gift, and if it does not arrive by “y” date, someone will be disappointed . . . or worse. That’s when our guarantee comes in handy.
On long-haul trips, express truck or car delivery can even help compress the elapsed Time-Interval between Pick-up and Drop-off, for those who need to make up time for some other reason. You tell us which feature is most important to you, and we’ll tailor outcomes to meet your goals, while providing great service.
“We got in a lurch, and they saved us. We spend our winters in Clearwater each year, and typically use the same transport company to Florida and home again. But this past spring DAS really let me down. They promised they’d pick up our car before we fly out – but 48 hours before our departure DAS had not scheduled a trucker to pick up our vehicle. I was in a frenzy and called around to a couple of other top-rated companies in the auto transport industry. They answered on the weekend with a live operator and booked a pickup for Monday morning.” Gene Fennison, 2011 Nissan Maxima, Tampa FL to Cleveland OH

"Another great job! Our customer wanted this specific model in a specific color and instead of waiting 10 weeks to receive a new order, we thought it best to purchase this from another Lexus dealership. We found the car in Georgia, but it had to be delivered in 3 days in order to close the deal. Easy Car Shipping had a carrier in the Atlanta area and was able to pick up within just a few hours after we booked the order. Came thru for us again, as always with the great experience.” Joseph Musco, 2016 Lexus RX350, Alpharetta, GA to San Antonio, TX
When is the enclosed express auto shipping combo worth it?
If the vehicle is currently worth more than $70,000 and you have timing constraints, enclosed auto transport is definitely something to consider in addition to the direct express option. You’ll see that price-point option in the bottom-right section of your Quick Quotes.
Do you need express motorcycle shipping, or express golf cart shipping? We offer that as well.
