Review:
Lucky me--I found Direct Express on the Net--and took a chance. This was my first experience with transporting a vehicle cross-country using a broker. I liked the look of the Direct Express site and found it to be easy to navigate, informative, with no surprises or vague price quotes.
I couldn''t have been happier with my experience! Everything was handled promptly and efficiently, from the initial email confirmation to the easy-to-understand email instructions throughout the rest of the process. The tranport service they assigned me was superior. (Redacted) and (Redacted) are consummate professionals and they kept me informed each step of the way. I felt the price was reasonable and the timeline was amazingly accurate. (Redacted) handled my vehicle with kid gloves at both the pick up and delivery points and he represents your service well. Thank you, Direct Express, and KUDOS TO (Redacted); they really "deliver the goods".

This was a good experience, (Redacted) with (Redacted) Transport was the driver. He went above and beyond the call to get my 1963 Falcon from California to North Carolina. He spent the night in the truck so as to take an early morning pickup to take advantage of a light traffic time. He managed to thread his big rig thru narrow city streets in Richmond Ca and to deliver the car with just some road grime on it. Hats off to (Redacted) and (Redacted)Transport for a job well done!

Review:
Placed order on a Friday, driver from their contracted carrier contacted me the following Monday morning ready to pickup within hours. I actually had to delay pickup until early evening because my spouse had driven the vehicle to work that day. If I just had to come up with a complaint about this experience, it would be that I could have used a call from the driver at least 24 hours before pickup. Then, he could have gotten on the road earlier because spouse wouldn't have taken the car to work that morning. But, as it turned out, we quickly, readily, easily, and painlessly worked out a mutually agreeable pickup time for early evening that same day.
Vehicle exterior was pretty dirty upon arrival (took two passes through the car wash) but hey, it was an open transport carrier, so duh! What would you expect? If dirt's an issue, get an enclosed transport carrier.
No physical damage to vehicle during consignment and transport was noted upon arrival. Vehicle was not transferred to any other carrier trailer during transport. The driver that picked it up is the driver that delivered it.
Direct Express Auto Transport was definitely the most cost effective transport firm of those that I had researched; they had good reviews from both customer blogs like this one and a couple of trade organizations alike. I, personally, give Direct Express Auto Transport high marks for contracting what turned out to be a high-quality auto transport carrier, and I hope that they pass along my report of 100% satisfaction to not only the contracted carrier but to the actual driver, and to his boss, as well. Job well done!

Review:
I bought a 65 GTO convertible that was in North Carolina. Figuring fuel cost ended up being quite high. I saw an ad in eBay and contacted the companyfor a quote. The price was slightly higher than my fuel cost. I commissioned for a load and had excellent communication on the status of pickup. When it came time for delivery Tessa was fantastic and extremely helpful. Instead of making me take the day off from work, she coordinated a delivery for 4AM which really helped me out. Delivery was at 4:02AM and I was very surprised. I quit dealing with car delivery companies years ago as I felt like everything was done for the company. Much to my surprise this was opposite and a real deal. The delvery was done with extreme care and very professional. The driver was very knowledgeable about classic cars and went to great lengths when he carefully unloaded. He even helped to push a non-running vehicle to the storage area. I could not have been happier. From start to finish was less than 30 minutes and that includes the paperwork. Will I use the Direct Express again? ABSOLUTELY. Best deal I have had in a very long time. Thank you Direct Express. If you are in need of a car being transported - deal with Direct Express. You can't go wrong.

Everything worked out really well with my transport. It was a little shocking at how quickly my car arrived at its destination - it could have been a problem had a friend not volunteered to receive the car for me. The driver was very friendly and I will definitely use Auto Transport Direct when I bring my car back home in August. I only wish that the pickup window was a little shorter so that I could make more concrete moving plans and not be without a car.

Review:
After reading online customer reviews of auto carriers I browsed to www.autotransportdirect.com (Direct Express Auto Transport’s website) where I got a quote online. After shopping a few other transporter websites I was satisfied the price at Direct Express Auto Transport was reasonable. Some quotes were lower, but frankly I was afraid of them! I returned to Direct Express Auto’s website where I entered my transport order online on the afternoon of 04/25/08. The job was to pickup my Honda 2000 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and deliver it in Los Angeles. About an hour after placing the order a person at Direct called to tell me a truck had been assigned and that the driver would call me soon. In another hour the driver called to say he would pickup two days later on 4/27/08. He called on the morning of 4/27. We arranged the pickup for later in the morning. He arrived with a first-class rig at the appointed time and was a delightful, confidence inspiring guy. He even had special tie-downs to secure my little sports car which lacked any hooks or easy places to tie-on. The driver said my car would be delivered on 4/30/08. On the afternoon of 4/30 my daughter called from Los Angeles to say that she had received the car in perfect condition and that it was tucked away in the garage! Everything went smooth as silk. That's how easy it was.

Review:
Bought a vehicle at a dealership and they delayed completion of paperwork which messed up the timing for pick up of our vehicle. I called Direct Express and they made the change with a smile in their voices and reassured me that everything would be OK. Within a day we were back on track. Very friendly people here with a strong customer-service orientation. The only thing negative I could say is the truck driver wasn't much on proactive communication about when the vehicle was picked up or to be delivered. We had to reach out to him to do all that. Small thing, but when your new car is "in transport," the smallest communication is reassuring and helps busy people plan. Thanks for a great experience!

I found Direct Express Auto Transport to be very cost effective, prompt and delivered my car to my door undamaged and on time. I have shipped a number of cars over the years qand typically found glitches on one or both ends. Their rates were the cheapest. Their delivery and service the best. The transporter driver had over thirty years in the business. My car was delivered unblemished and untouched. Without a doubt, I would use Direct Auto Transport to service my shipping needs.

I would so tell everyone that I know how good their service was. They are really quick with finding a drive, just within 5 hours they had me a driver and the next day the driver picked up my car. The price that they charged me was great! Other place wanted over a thousand dollars. I would highly tell everyone to use Direct Auto Transport! Thanks!

The moving company did a very professional and safe move with my car. I already set another date to have another one of my vehicles moved from Rhode Island to West Virginia. I have told friends that plan on moving to use them for there vehicles. I am very satisfied with the movng company. I hope to reuse them in the future when I have to move again. The price was right and affordable. When my car arrived at its destination my friend said there wasn't a thing wrong with it and that it looked as good as it did when it was loaded onto truck (I sent pictures to him to let him see what it looked like).

Review:
First time auto transport user. Had to relocate from NJ to CA on short notice due to work. Shopped around online and Direct Express has the 2nd lowest quote. The lowest one doesn't allow any personal items to be left in the car. I had two suitcases filled with books (nearly 100 lb) in the trunk and they are ok with it, so that saved me at least $50 to ship them separately.
Driver picked up the car on the time (Tuesday afternoon) we discussed over the phone. He told my dad, who was the one handled the exchange in NJ (I took the flight to CA in the morning), my car is the last one in his pick up route, from there he will drive straight to CA, he estimated the car will be delivered on Monday. So I was very surprised to receive a phone call from him on Saturday morning. The car arrived slightly dirty, but that was to be expected and otherwise in great condition.
Overall I am very happy with the experience and will use their service again if the need ever come up. Highly recommended.

The company personnel were very friendly. The quote for transport was competitive, and the process was explained thoroughly. Insurance for the vehicle was provided. As soon as I agreed to move forward, I received emails explaining the process and contract. Shortly thereafter I was contacted by the local transporter for the pickup and delivery. Again, very friendly and honest. I was kept informed continuously of the timing of pickup and delivery. I was called ahead of time to plan for the delivery. All in all, a very trouble free experience that was rewarded with a new car transported across the country, all completed within 6 days.

I called to place my order and got thru right away, five minutes later my order was placed and within one day I was assigned a driver. The driver picked up the vehicle two days later and arrived right on time. My only issue was with the truck driver, the vehicle above mine was leaking oil for the entire trip and totally covered my vehicle. Other than that, the experience was wonderful and I would use Direct Express again.

The service and promptness of your transporter was outstanding! My vehicle's engine was running just enough to get it onto the trailer, or so I thought. It just about completely died right before we got it loaded. The driver, Walter and his son Zack, were amazing! They worked so well together, and you could tell their work was fun for them because they were together. The three of us had a great time getting that 'ol truck up on the trailer! They were fast, knowledgeable, and super friendly. If any of Direct Express' other drivers are HALF as friendly as these guys were, I would not only use their services again, but I would recommend them to ANYONE! Thanks for your low cost and high level of customer service!

I am very satisfied with the service render by your company. I did not know you existed untill I logged on Google and search for a transporter to take my son car to California where he is attending College. Your quote was $850.00 less than a local transporter, so I accepted immediately, in a matter of hours I had the carrier contact me to pick up the car the next day. That was quick. A week later my son has his car at his door step in perfect condition, nothing missing, no scratches. I received a call from a friend requesting information to transport a car to Virginia a gave her your company information right away. I keepig your phone # handy to pass it along. I am currently employed at a Cadillac-Hummer Dealership in Miami and we always transporting cars to different states for our customers, I will sugest the use of your company,like I mentioned before the company we used was charging me $1800.00 for the same service you render. Thanks a lot, you made possible transporting my son car, because we were looking into the choice of driving the car just to save .

I found Direct Express when I was researching online how to get a car I bought from a private seller. After reviewing several sites, I went with Direct Express due to the combination of testimonials and accreditation by the BBB, Ebay and others.
Direct Express called me to let me know the car was being picked up and I expected 2-3 days from North Carolina (I'm in Indiana)...to my surprise they told me the car would be there the next day....and it showed up within 1 hour of the estimated time.
The process was simple, fast and easy. I appreciated the up-front online quote the company stood behind as well...would and have already, highly recommend.

I was very nervous about choosing a company after hearing of nightmare transport stories from other people- and having a bad experience with another company myself. I chose Direct Express after a recommendation from a co-worker. The service was prompt and very thorough. The people were nice. The vehicle was late, but there was adverse weather conditions and it arrived in fantastic condition, the weather conditions were out of their control. Both the person that picked up the vehicle and the one that dropped it off to me were nice and very knowledgable. If I had to use a transport company again, I would use Direct Express without hesitation.

What a great experience! I found this website & went with Direct Express based on the review. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was my first time purchasing a vehicle from across the country & the total experience couldn't have been better. I placed the order on a Tuesday afternoon, stating the vehicle would be available that Thursday. The vehicle was picked up by (redacted) on Monday with a delivery date of Friday. I can't tell you how psyched I was to get a phone call from the driver, Matt, on Wednesday night telling me he'd be able to deliver the vehicle a day early if I was available.
The car arrived in beautiful condition - hardly even dirty from such a long trip.
Every person along the way, from the customer service gals at Direct Express to the driver for (redacted), were courteous, informative & just all around fantastic. I'm so appreciate that they made this process easy. Additionally the price was extremely competitive & their delivery time was less than every other location I'd received quotes from.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to ship a vehicle.

Rick and Kevin maintained top communications from start to finish. Rick understood old cars and pampered my car every step. He picked it up from my garage and had an outstanding tractor and trailer. He knew the car had to be delivered prior to COB at the Michigan address and worked his route accordingly. I have a number of collector cars and will use this organization when I do not have time to run my own trailer. If you have the opportunity to use Rick by name, do so. You will not be dissappointed.

Review:
We are a military family and have never shipped a vehicle using a civilian business. I was dubious, if not suspicious, at every turn with having to rely on a civilian shipper. I had no way of knowing if I was going to get what I was paying for or not.
I called several shippers and was not pleased with the vague criteria for shipping or the changing nature of the price quotes and timelines.
When I called Direct Transport for information, they were upfront and helpful. They answered all of my questions directly and they told me everything else I needed to know - things I wouldn't have thought to ask. This additional information came in very handy and reinforced my belief that I was dealing with the right company.
They did exactly what they said they would do, exactly when they said they would do it. Given the flexible and inexact nature of the business of shipping vehicles, their doing just what they said they would was not only appreciated, it was reassuring.
They assigned my vehicle to (redacted) of Hector, Minnesota. The driver was just as prompt, direct, thorough and professional as Direct Transport. He showed up when he said he would. He reviewed the vehicle inspection with me and told me what was going to happen and when. He was familiar with both the area I was shipping from and shipping to, and this made it more comfortable for me when explaining the available space for his carrier on both ends.
The driver delivered the vehicle when he said he would. My brother received the vehicle on behalf of my daughter, who was also present. He reviewed the vehicle inspection with both of them and answered their questions with professionalism and care. My brother told me the driver was friendly and informed, and my daughter told me the driver spoke to her just as directly and respectfully as my brother. This is worth noting my daughter is a young woman. Often, older men treat young women in a condescending manner. This was not the case with this driver.
The vehicle arrived clean, undamaged and on time. The staff of Direct Transport and the driver of the carrier were professional and helpful. I am very pleased with this transaction. If needed, I will use Direct Transport again and I will recommend them to anyone looking to ship a vehicle.

Review:
I have shipped vehicles I bought online before, usually the seller's recomended shipper (they were dealers). This time I bought a vehicle off an individual. I searched for some transport companies and found AutoTransportDirect to be the best site to get a very quick quote and had a good price. I called them and they seemed easy to work with. Once I bought the car I did everything online (scheduled pick up, payment, etc.). The pickup was done on-time, the same day the car was made available. I did not get a call before pickup like the site said I would, but the owner (or ex-owner) of the car did get a call and they set it all up through him so I did not have aproblem with it. The shipper picked up the car in a very strong rain storm, drove through various storms on the way to Michigan, including a blizzard in Ohio that had him stuck there in the state for a day. The driver called me on Sunday and said he might be able to deliver a day early, but late that night. I agreed. The car arrived dirty since it had been through a few storms, but no damage. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly, very carefull with my car. I am very pleased with the service and price of AutoTransportDirect.com and will use them again if they contimnue to offer competetive prices. Thanks!

The experience was very easy, I got the quote online which was very quick and simple and was contacted shortly after I submitted my order. They were also several hundred dollars cheaper than any other quote I received.
The vehicle was picked up from my front door and delivered right to the location on the other end. Would definately reccomnd then to anyone needing to transport their vehicle.

I have used a few different companies for shipping vehicles in the past, but this was my first experience with Direct Express. Their price quote was the lowest of 19 companies I checked. There was another company that tied with them, but when I tried to schedule with them, they said they didn't know how they had quoted that low of a price and tried to raise it $150. I said "No thanks" and called Direct Express. They had good reviews on this site and so I decided to give them a shot. I was a little concerned since the place the car was coming from was almost literally in the middle of nowhere (over 100 miles from any town even big enough to have an airport...). I was afraid the car would sit for weeks waiting for a driver. To my surprise, it was picked up in 4 days and in my driveway 3 days after that. Not too shabby for the lowest price company. The process was painless and the car arrived in good time and in good shape. The driver knew his stuff better than some I've dealt with and the customer service from Direct Express was excellent. I would certainly recommend them and will use them in the future.

I had a wonderful experience with this company. I love to use the internet, so booking was a breeze. I made my initial deposit with a credit card, and then received an email telling me what the next steps were. The email and telephone contacts were wonderful, keeping me informed of what to expect. My GMC ENVOY was picked up by a very nice gentleman in Long Beach, CA. He answered our questions and was polite, dressed nicely, and clean. Six days later, my SUV was delivered to my daughter in Raymond, Wisconsin, by another nice gentleman. I was worried about shipping a car again, because we had a very negative experience with another transport company 2 years ago when we moved a vintage Corvette across country. This company had good reviews, so I crossed my fingers and went for it. I am so glad I did. My car arrived way ahead of time for my daughter to pick us up at the airport this weekend. With all of the pressures of a household move on my shoulders, I am blessed to have this already taken care of. It was well worth the $850 cost, which was very competitive. Use this company with confidence!!! God Bless Always, C. Garcia

They answered all of my questions whenever I gave them a call.

Great company, This was my second time trying to transport this car, the first WORTHLESS LYING company, (Redacted) AUTO TRANSPORT told me within 3-15 days and after 24 days they said they couldn't find a driver for the price they quoted and had no idea why they quoted it to me but could try again for another $450 on top of the original quote. After hearing that line of BS I found this transport reviews page and contacted Direct express auto transport and within a couple days they had a driver and within a few more they had it picked up and the rate was very competitive. I highly recommend this company and will use in the future.

I needed to get my new Shelby GT500 from Indiana to New Jersey. I've never made a long distance transaction like this and was nervous about getting it home. I got estimates from some of the "well known" transporters. The closest estimate was $160 higher. The highest was almost double! I was always told to throw out the cheapest estimate on anything and therefore wasn't going to use Direct Express. After reading the reviews on them, I couldn't justify not using them. Ryan (the driver) picked up my car on time from the dealership and documented a chip in the paint that I never saw! Thanks to him, the dealer agreed to pay for it. He treated my car like it was his. He delivered early and in perfect condition. I would definitely use them again.

The transport company was prompt, well mannered, professional, and considerate. The car was inspected for original condition, then loaded onto the transport truck. The car was delivered to the destination with great dispatch. The delivery actually occurred several days before I expected it to occur. Everything went off without a hitch and as promised or better. The actual process proceeded so smoothly without me spending any time on the telephone trying to navigate through those annoying automated menus to find out the status of my move. I had my household goods shipped during November of 2007 and the shipper contracted by my employer was definitely among my worst nightmares. With the service I received from this company I wish they were in the business of moving furniture as well. The process progressed so closely as promised that I was almost afraid I was dreaming . . . in today's business world of cutting costs it is so rare to find a company actually deliver a service as agreed.

Moved from Nevada to California. Joe kept me informed as to when he would pick up the car and let me know each step of the delivery. I was a little hesitant at first using this service but it turned out there was nothing to worry about. I liked his calling to let me know when he will be here and when he was about an hour away he let me know the approximate time he would be arriving. He called 10 minutes away so I was able to get the car without any trouble. There was not any damage of any sort that was not there before the pick up. If anyone is thinking of having a car transported give Direct Auto Transport a call you will not be sorry.

Review:
I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about shipping the van to my niece. After reading all of the positive reviews I decided to 'take a chance' and book the transport. I must say that it was effortless. I called the company to check on the status of my delivery, as I had not heard from them since the booking online. They asked if I had checked my 'spam' file on my email. They were correct, all of the information they sent had in fact had gone into my spam account. They gave me the name of my driver and I called Michael. He was kind, professional and courteous. He actually picked up the van day early, which kind of threw me for a loop, but it all worked out fine, and I would not hesitate one bit to use this company or Michael from (redacted) out of Alabama again! The van arrived in Tennessee today! Thanks so very much!

When I had to move my car, I didn't know where to start. I decided to take a chance with Direct Express Auto Transport since their HQ office is local to SF Bay Area. Placed the order online about one week before the first available pickup date. Only had to call the customer service line once; to check on the status of the order about 3 days before the pickup date. A truck was assigned right on the pickup date and driver called later the same day. Was assigned to (redacted) Auto Transport (MO) driver was very courteous, even scheduled the delivery date later than originally planned because of my flight was scheduled 2 days after. as far as pricing goes, Direct Express Auto Transport was not the cheapest from all the quotes I received and wasn't the most expensive either, but definitely worth every penny. Would use again if I have to move another car during winter.

I would highly recommend using Direct Express Auto Transport. Their website was informative and easy to use, they answered the phone promptly and answered my questions politely. I was informed via email of every step along the way. When I got the name of the trucking company I found our driver to be polite and responsive. Everything went as smoothly as it could go and the price was the best I found by a couple of hundred dollars. Our car arrived yesterday at exactly the time the driver projected and he came as close to our home as he could safely... we just had to drive up the street to get our car! My husband and I were both surprised at how easy the whole process was. VK

I was very pleased with this service. I found the site online, received a quote, which I thought was extremely reasonable, and the order was placed. Then someone contacted me on the day that I requested and picked up the car the next day. The driver was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and delivered my car on time and in good condition. I inadvertently left my XM radio on in the car before handing it over to the transport company, which drained the battery.

The driver who picked up and delivered our vehicle was very professional and I felt confident there were not going to be any issues with this service after meeting him during the pickup process.

I requested a quote and Direct Express Auto Transport had the lowest quote of any company I contacted. I used a different company last year to transport my vehicle and that company quoted a price and then when I actually ordered my shipment I was charged about $50 more. Direct Express Auto Transport quoted me $1000 and that's what I paid. Not only that, but my car was picked up only four days after I placed my order, two days after the first date I said the car would be available. The drivers were good about giving enough notice before they would be there to pick the car up and to deliver it. I had my car only 5 days later, all the way from NY to CA! Great service! I will definitely be using this company again.

Our son is in the Marine Corps, stationed in southern California. He's wanted his truck out there for 3 years, and we were just not sure how to get it to him. He has a beautiful 2002 Explorer, Sport Trac, wide tires and expensive rims, lots of t.v. screens and much money, invested. I did a lot of research on this company, reading reviews and checking with the BBB, and liked what I read. Last Wednesday morning, I made the call to begin our move. I was given the quote of $650 and that the driver would be contacting us about the pick up time and date. That very afternoon, he called and was on his way. We met him at 7:30P.M. and watched him load the truck and talked for a long while. He was a very polite, friendly man that explained his route to us. When we left, we felt at ease and comfortable with our choice. He called us several times on his way and had the truck in California by Friday morning. He took the truck all the way to the base, as far as he could go to our son. He made the delivery to him, early Friday afternoon, everything in place, safe and other than being a little dirty from the long trip, just as it left here. We could not have had a better experience and highly recommend this transport company to any one searching for reliable, affordable, and friendly people to deal with.......thanks for your time.....Jeanie

Review:
I went online to Google car carrier transporters. I received 15 quotes within 20 minutes. I contacted several companies, which responded to my request asking about Military Discounts plus some other questions I had. Through another reference I had heard good comments about Direct Auto. When I asked my questions the individual I talked with immediately gave me a $25.00 discount plus answered my other concerns. After discussing the information with my son since it was his car, we decided to use Direct Auto. I contacted them again and set up a delivery time. They told me they would contact me before the scheduled pickup date and let me know when the car was assigned to a truck and who to contact to arrange the pickup. I was contacted as indicated and within a few hours the truck driver contacted me and introduced himself. At this time we made arrangements for an early pickup, since I already had the car ready to go. When I delivered the car, the driver was very professional, inspected the car, loaded the car and gave me information to forward to my son about the approximate delivery time. As promised the driver called my son and made arrangements to delivery the car as promised. The car was delivered in the same shape it left Missouri and had not been tampered with during transit.
I would use this transporter again when I need another vehicle shipped.

Subject: It don't get no better'n this...
Review:
We had a car in the "middle of nowhere" (Yakima, WA) wanting to get it to Dallas, TX. After getting innumerable quotes, we chose Auto Transport Direct because of two factors: 1) The price was within $50 of the lowest quote we received, and 2) Auto Transport Direct had a 5-star rating. (Other 5-star companies were $200, to as much as $400 higher. The companies that were lower had 1 & 2-star ratings with multiple complaints.) Not being geniuses, we deduced that if we hire one of the BEST for almost the LEAST, we'd be fools not to.
As stated before, Yakima isn't on the "beaten path", so we were prepared to wait 30-days or so for pickup, if need be. ATD picked up the car on the second day it was available and had it here 3 days later. The communication from the broker customer service reps and the driver for ATD was courteous and thorough with updates throughout the trip. The car arrived undamaged, albeit a tad dirty from a 2,000 mile trip though mountains with snow. The driver even cleaned the windows after it was unloaded off the truck.
All in all, we could not ask for more... nor do we hesitate to strongly recommend Auto Transport Direct to anyone needing their car transported. Just a SUPER job in every aspect... not to mention saving $300-$350!!! In summation, "It don't get no better'n Auto Transport Direct." Thank you for a wonder experience. We're big fans!

Review:
Excellent experience! The brokers suggested to us by the selling dealer were completely useless - we spent over 2 weeks trying to get them to transport our vehicle, to no avail. I called Auto Transport Direct late on a Friday afternoon, and by Monday morning we received an email reporting that we had a truck assigned to us. The transporter picked up the car on Tuesday and delivered it the next day! The driver was great: he called us the day before to let us know his approximate arrival time, and twice more on the delivery day. The trip was about 350 miles or so.
The driver from (redacted) was very polite and professional, skillful in unloading and maneuvering on our small suburban cul-de-sac, and delivered the car as requested - on the top deck of his transporter. His large pickup was equipped with GPS, so he never had to ask for any kind of directions from us.
We couldn't be more pleased with our delivery through ATD. The price we paid was LESS than those other brokers had quoted, and was very reasonable. Our Saab wagon arrived in perfect shape. I picked ATD based on the other reviews on this site, having looked at other possibilities on the Web and finding little in the way of credible feedback for them.

I looked at several companies on the Internet, and Direct Express Auto Transport was one that allowed me to estimate the charges for the transport with an easy online calculator. After using the calculator, I emailed them and their quote was exactly that of the calculator. There were absolutely no hassles with the interaction, and the car was delivered, on a Saturday in a snowstorm I might add, within a week of my request. The charge was very reasonable, as I have had other cars transported from several areas (San Diego, West Virginia) and they were easily the least expensive. The transaction was smooth and the car arrived in perfect condition. I will certainly use them again.

Subject: Toyota 4-runner - California to New York
Review:
The move was a 1997 Toyota 4-runner in excellent condition from El Dorado Hills, CA to Farmingdale, NY. I researched many brokers and carriers on the "transport reviews" website. Only companies with 5 star ratings were considered. Direct Express provided a reasonable quote - less than the other top brokers considered. All paperwork was filled out on their web site. They followed up immediately with a call from a customer service rep.
The Customer Service Rep was very professional and had the car tendered to a carrier in 2 days. The carrier chosen was Exotic Carriers based in New Jersey. The driver called 2 days after the car was assigned to Exotic Carriers. The driver called on the same day of the pickup (about 4 hours notice on a Saturday), so this could be a problem for some, but was ok with me. I met the driver in a local shopping center to make the loading easier. The driver was polite and professional - no issues with the whole pickup process. The driver had a helper with him and said they were the ones taking the load to New York.
The car was delivered in New York 9 days later. The window given was 7 - 14 days. I consider this an excellent transit time since it was December and the weather conditions were pretty harsh across the country. The car was delivered to my brother-in-law in New York without incident. The driver called and delivered the car as scheduled. Other than expected road dirt, the car was in good condition.
Since everything with the carrier went so smoothly, I never had the need to get the team at Direct Express involved after the initial pickup. So much depends on the carrier chosen, and the specific individuals driving that rout.

Ice and snowstorm held up delivery and truck could not pick up vehicle. The reason the truck could not pick up the vehicle was because the sender could not get out of his house to get the carrier the keys to vehicle to be transported. I worried that things would get upside down because the carrier had to leave the area and could not get to vehicle for pick up. Without any difficulty a new carrier was assigned by Auto Transport, and my vehicle was picked up by the new carrier and delivered to them without any issuers or problems. I did not even have to call to express concern. I just received a new email telling me that a new carrier was assigned for the next day.

This was my first experience with the shipment of a vehicle. I was going to drive and pick it up myself but the drive alone was 13hrs each way (mapquest). The ride back would have been a nightmare, having to pull into gas stations with a car on a 20' trailer or what about a traffic jam, and worst of all the trailer can't go over 40mph loaded. With to cost of fuel and the time it would have taken it just wasn't worth it so I googled car movers and a list of companies popped up. I of course like anyone who cares about watching there expenses searched every site until I came upon Auto Transport Direct. They had the only site I could find that gave a quote right then and there without giving up my personal information. And even after giving my info to other companies, Auto Transport Direct's easier to use website and company was the cheapest. Now I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for so I expected to see my car delivered in two pieces, however when it arrived it looked just like it never left. What really gave me piece of mind was watching the driver unload my car, it was like clockwork I could instantly tell the driver had years of experience and piece of mind with something like this means everything. So to sum up my experience shipping my car I will say this; the process was very quick, easy, cheap, and I missed no days of work. Thank you Auto Transport Direct.

Excellent experience. Pickup was on date requested and delivery was within 5 days. Selected Direct Express based on reviews from this site and price. Purchased car via eBay auction from out-of-state dealer. Price was $300 cheaper then eBay recommended transporter.
I will buy more cars from eBay and I will use Direct Express again. There were other highly rated transporters but most of them required you call a number to speak to a representative about a quote and order. I personally prefer the convenience of doing those transactions on the Internet and Direct Express provides that convenience.

I have bought a car from eBay (1987 300d turbo) and needed a transporter. I was skeptical at first with Direct Express Auto Transport prices (dirt cheap). I call and set a pickup on 12-6-2007 and 6 days later I was assign to (redacted) Auto Transport in Maryland. They picked up the vehicle and was delivered the next following day. The Driver was very polite and friendly. A++ to (redacted) Auto Transport of Maryland and Direct Express Auto Transport!!!

These folks were great. No hassle; friendly; delivery sooner than expected and by a friendly driver. The car was protected and delivered in great shape. Although Natalie was my primary and initial contact, I spoke with 2 other ladies who were equally friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Direct Express Auto Transport to anyone.

Review:
Firstly when I was in search of an auto shipping company I was so confused and I have visited transportreviews.com and after I read the reviews and felt ok to order with this company and I have ordered for a pick up on Saturday almost at the end of the day and on Monday morning when I got up from my bed I got a call from the truck driver saying that he is ready for the pickup. I was shocked to hear that truck driver was assigned so early for the pick up and the driver told me he will be bringing the car on Saturday he was early and he dropped the car on Friday night. No extra charge, I am very happy with the service. I would definitely recommend this service once again.

Review:
I was looking to transport my car from upstate NY to northern California over the Thanksgiving break. I looked around online and got quotes from various agents. The quote from Direct Express was at least $200 below the others. I was hesitant at first to go with them due to this, but I was satisfied once I checked their reviews. Pick-up was arranged one day after the available date, but that was fine as I was informed ahead of time. Another re-assuring fact was that the car would not wait at any terminals...it was door to door direct! My car was delivered exactly in one week. I was informed a day before delivery about the time they would be coming over. They delivered the car exactly on time... I did not even have to wait around. Of course, there was dust on the car since it was transported in an open truck but that’s only understandable.... all that was needed to get my car back in shape was a good wash. I would definitely use them again, and recommend it to anyone.

Review:
I found the website great. Everything went very smooth. It was one of the best transactions I have done on the internet ever. It was one of the best deals on the web. I found other companies that would move my jeep for 300 hundred dollars more. The jeep was picked up very close to my house and delivered on time to my son. Made it from Wisconsin to Arizona in less than 6 days. I will be coming back when I need to ship another car. Thank you.

Review:
I was so happy with the manner of service that I received from your company. I called in to make a couple changes on my available for pickup date and the representative was always very patient and accommodating of my wishes. My questions were always answered thoroughly and my concerns addressed as well. The end result, my vehicle was delivered hassle-free.
I used another company before when I transported the same vehicle 4 years ago from OH to CA and it took several weeks for delivery. I still had their information but I am so glad I took a chance on a new company, who I would gladly use again (I move around and hate to drive) as well as refer to others!
Thanks again for the "more than satisfactory service" you rendered to me during this stressful time.
Loyal customer, Teresa

I was very impressed with time frame my vehicle was transferred in. Express Auto Transport is a very efficient company, with great customer service and idiot proof website. I honestly did not expect my vehicle to be delivered for another week due to the holidays, but I assumed wrong. I would most definitely recommend Express Auto Transport to anyone in need of moving a vehicle in a timely and efficient manner.

Review:
When I was looking for a company to transport my vehicle from California to Tennessee, Direct Express Auto Transport was the only company I found that gave an instant quote through the internet. I was impressed on how simple and quick their system worked. After I completed rate quote inquiries from at least three other companies, the rate from Direct Express was still the lowest. Once I made the call to have my vehicle arranged for pick up and delivery, Direct Express did not waste any time. In fact, they delivered my vehicle two days ahead of my schedule, which I didn't mind at all. I highly recommend Direct Express to anyone who needs a vehicle transported to a location where it is needed. Direct Express is quick, affordable, and customer service friendly.

I've looking for months for a transport company to help me with my move to California. I heard about Direct Express Auto Transport from a friend who read really good reviews about them. When they gave me the quote for my car its the cheapest from the other transport company. They pick my car on time and delivered it a day earlier from what the driver told me. The driver also updated me on their locations. Thank you so much for an excellent service.

Driver and his dispatcher were very polite and helpful. Car was delivered in a very short time, coast to coast. The driver in California dropped the car off at my son's work, saving my son time and effort. It was just a few miles away, but still nice service.
Overall it was painless and efficient. The price was in the low quarter of the many bids I got. I selected them based on feedback on the web and was happy that the research I did worked out.

Review:
This is my first time using a car transport. I purchased an ACURA NSX. I really wanted a enclosed carrier but didn't want to pay $900-$1200 for them so I chose the cheapest company I can find for only $600 and since Auto Transport Direct have a very good BBB rating I chose them. Use there user friendly website on Tuesday late noon and got an email back right away letting me know that (redacted) will be picking it up. Got a number so I called them and they said they will be picking it up on Wednesday. Picked up the car on Wednesday late night FL and they left my guy with the drivers cell number. So I figured it might take about 3-4 days to get to Dallas, but I was anxious so I called the driver Friday noon and he said he could deliver the car for me on Friday night but if I am not available he can drop it off Saturday. I told him I'll wait for him Friday so he said he'll be here around 8pm. Waited patiently and by 7pm my cell rang. Chuck the driver called and said he's here. Walked outside and takes about 15-20 mins I got my car. PERFECT CONDITION! Thank you Chuck and Auto Transport Direct! Definitely recommended~~~!!

I felt this service was excellent and if the opportunity arose again I would not hesitate to use them. The driver was courteous and easy to get a hold of. He was very thorough in looking over the car. The car was delivered when he said it would be. Overall, it went a lot smoother than I anticipated. I felt it was good value for the money and would recommend this service to other people moving vehicles long distances.

Pick-up of vehicle was done very quickly the next day after I made arrangements and the down payment. In two days the vehicle arrived (1500 miles) and the driver let me know his schedule and always answered his cell phone. We unloaded in a snow storm with no problems and I gave the driver the balance due with a cashier's check. The cost was $200 less than another company I received a quote from and about $400 less than a third company. I was well satisfied.

I selected this company from several off the internet. After selection, they company contacted me through my e-mail and notify me of the pickup time in California. Then they contacted people in California for pickup. While on route to Texas, the driver contacted me about the delivery time in Texas. Two days later, he delivered the car to me on time. I am very satisfied with this company and recommend them to any one.

I shopped internet for the best price to fill my transportation needs for a pick up truck I had bought thru E-Bay motors.

From start to finish, this was a very positive experience...Thanks, Tom Mooney

It was nice talking with a person instead of e-mailing back and forth, like I did when I got Quotes from other companies. I got the phone number on the computer, I called. A very nice girl answered the phone ,she gave me a quote in less than two minutes. The truck driver was very knowledgeable, polite, and very explanatory. My car was delivered to my home. And on time. unbelievable, I will always use them, for my next car haul.

The car was picked up two days after the order was submitted and delivered 400 miles by that evening. The driver was friendly, courteous and very careful with the car. There was no damage or other problems with the delivery, and it was the lowest price of more than 10 quotes I received. I would recommend this company to anybody else looking to have a car delivered.
