People Love Direct Express Auto Transport



You Just Found The Best Auto Transport Company
We originated the instant car shipping quote calculator nearly twenty years ago. It didn’t exist before Direct Express Auto Transport unleashed it, and changed the industry overnight.
We were also the first to allow customer cancellations any time prior to the shipping of the vehicle, with absolutely no penalty. The rest of the auto transport industry soon followed our lead. They had to.
We have always been pro customer, and still don’t ask for any personal information prior to giving a car shipping quote. Whether online or on the phone with a Direct Express representative, the customer can easily get a hassle-free quote, which further separates us from the pack. That’s confidence, folks!
The First Auto Transport Calculator
In 2004, Direct Express Auto Transport set a new standard for car shipping companies. We were the first to offer online visitors an instant vehicle shipping rate. Instead of calling around to get multiple quotes, our calculator lets you get multiple quotes in seconds. We originated the instant online auto transport quote.
Our car shipping calculator is still the most sophisticated and best in the business. It’s also one of the simplest and most private because we don’t ask you to enter any personal information to receive a quote. We have always respected our visitors’ privacy and are perhaps the only major auto transport company to still do business that way.
That is a very big reason why any discerning customer should choose Direct Express Auto Transport. Our reputation as one of the best auto transport companies proves itself the first time you use our online car shipping quote calculator and every time after.
Experienced Car Transporters
Since 2004, Direct Express Auto Transport has shipped over two hundred thousand vehicles throughout the lower 48 states, making us one of the largest auto shipping companies in America. There is no substitute for experience.
We have seen most everything from hurricanes to Nor’easters, from winter snowbirds to spring snowbirds, from summer seasonal peaks to autumn seasonal lows. We know what to expect and how to react accordingly. The vehicle haulers we work with (each carefully vetted) have also been to every corner of the country and handled every sort of vehicle imaginable.
Compared to other car shipping companies, we go to great lengths to connect you with the top car haulers – the ones who know how to be safe, efficient, and organized in the face of anything. That’s great for you and or your car. There are so many different situations that develop with customers and carriers alike. We have the experience to navigate our customers through it all.

Our Vision
President Mike Rupers founded Direct Express Auto Transport in 2003 and still owns the company. At that time, nearly every other auto transport company refused to offer a price on services without learning the visitor or caller’s personal information, such as name, phone number and email address. And none of them could produce a quote online. At best, those car shipping brokers would email a quote with a fourteen page contract precluding cancellation lest the customer lose his entire deposit. The whole process was impersonal and inconvenient. Mike Rupers vision was to go the other way and change all that – redefining what it meant to be the best auto transport company in the industry.
Direct Express eliminated the industry standard fourteen page contract because it was unfair to the customer. Today hardly any of the top car shipping companies use that lengthy contract anymore because of the standard we set. Direct Express Auto Transport stated that a customer can cancel any time prior to assignment and pickup with a full refund. We changed the rules to the betterment of the customer. Leaders lead and followers follow. We are undeniably the auto transport industry leader.
Direct Express Auto Transport originated the first car shipping quote calculator in 2004, but we didn’t stop there. We are constantly improving it. Other auto transport companies have copied our breakthrough, but they can’t match our quality. They use a knock-off third rate software that still does not perform as well. We’re still widely regarded as the authority on vehicle shipping rates and many of our competitors secretly use our quote calculator as a barometer. Without any doubt, Direct Express leads the industry of auto transport companies.
But don’t take our word for it. Read real customer reviews of our service.

Reviews From Our Customers
I am so pleased with my decision to use Direct Express Auto Transport! Ashley was a knowledgeable and confidence inspiring representative and my driver was on time and my car was in perfect shape!
Direct Express Auto Transport did an amazing job delivering my car. They were fast, professional and my car was delivered in excellent condition. They let me know ahead of time around what time the person would be there. They were very easy to use. I would use them again.
Jessica provided all the necessary information regarding pricing and schedules available to pick up and deliver my car, no issues, everything worked out great.
Talked to Jessica on Wednesday to have 65 El Camino shipped from Calif to Texas. Was picked up on Thursday the 16th and delivered on Monday the 20th. Beautiful truck and great driver. Sebastian was the driver's name. Also it was awesome to see all the other great cars.
Fantastic experience all around, from the office people calling me back on a Sunday when a question popped up, to getting the car delivered very quickly, the whole process went perfectly. Will use them again for sure.
This is the third time I have used Direct Express Auto Transport. Each time moving a vehicle from or to the Midwest from the West Coast. Prompt at getting the arrangements made. Carrier was timely at making pick up and hitting the target day when delivering. Carrier also communicated well with me leading up to delivery.
This is the second time that we used Direct Express Auto Transport and again, not a problem. We will use this company again next year or sooner. Both drivers were courteous and cars arrived exactly on time. Thank you!
Driver was very efficient and accommodating! Once he picked up the vehicle he stayed in contact with us all the way to delivery. Thank you very much for hauling this vehicle for us because we have no way of doing it ourselves.
Direct Express Auto Transport exceeded my expectations. They were quick to schedule and very accommodating. I even made a mistake with my arrangements on my end and they rescheduled for me - no problem. My vehicle is brand new, shipped from out of state to me with perfection. Thank you very kindly, Direct Express! Highly recommended.
My husband and I were very happy we chose this company to transport our son’s car. They were very professional and quick to pick up the car. They communicated well, arrived on time and the delivery driver was very courteous and polite. The car arrived just as we left it.. No damage, scratches, dings or dents. The price was extremely reasonable considering the high level of service they provide. All around 5 star service, will definitely use again and highly recommend to everyone we know in need of this service.
I had a great experience with this company, the driver was very professional and also very prompt. My car was transports very upstate New York to Las Vegas and the driver called to tell me I would be getting my car 2 days earlier than expected.The car was in great condition and I was very please sign yes I would use this company again and I will recommend this company to all my family and friends.
These guys were fantastic. I went with them after my first auto transport provider (that was even fully paid for in advance) gave me the worst service I've ever had. These guys were quick, straightforward, and most importantly, professional. Thanks for your service. I will highly recommend in the future. I'm happy I found them.
My car was picked up on a Friday morning and arrived at my destination two days later. The driver made sure that I was on time delivering my car and he made sure my car was delivered to me in a timely manner also. Great customer service from beginning to end. No complaints at all and will definitely use this company again. Great job!
Another excellent job by Direct Express Auto Transport! This is the 3rd time we've shipped with this Direct Express Auto Transport. They're courteous, professional, and on time. I highly recommend this company and their services!
The process was easy and simple. It was so nice to know my vehicle was transported safely, so I could have peace of mind and focus on other things related to my cross country move.
I am very pleased with the Direct Express Auto Transport. Their website and calculator was straightforward and easy to use. The idea of giving me 3 options to choose from was great. The prices were even better. But the best part was, unlike their competitors, I didn't receive one unwanted email or phone call, 5 minutes after I ran the quote. They let their prices and reviews speak for them. The trucking company was on time picking up and a day early on delivery. The driver was very polite, thorough with all the photos of the car's previous damage and refreshingly surprised when I gave him a tip. This is now my go to Auto transport company referral.
I shipped a Jeep from Dallas to Northern Michigan. What I thought would be several weeks getting on a carrier because of the remote location happened within 3 days and the jeep was delivered 3 days after pickup.
Amazing experience with this company. I have no complaints. A carrier was found for me the same day I contacted them and I received my vehicle the following day! Absolutely amazing and inexpensive.
Process was very smooth. I got the quote online and booked with Ashley because I had a question. She was both very helpful and professional. The car was picked up the next day and delivered two days afterward. Price quoted was price paid, no up-selling, no hassle.
Very pleased with the car transport. I found the web site informative, and Jessie was helpful to speak with. I offered $100 over the quoted rate from San Diego to Seattle, as an enticement to expedite pickup, and a carrier picked up the car first thing the next morning. Did that help? I'll never know if that was necessary on a straight shot up I-5, but it worked out just how I wished. My car arrived fine without drama about 5 days later.
Never used a Car transport before and knew what to expect, pickup happened exactly when promised and delivered one day EARLY, Thank you for a Great Service!
Driver made great time getting the vehicle delivered and had no issues throughout the process. Price for a trip from Texas to California was very reasonable.
I arranged for transport of a Honda Fit from St Louis to north of Denver. Driver was cordial, organized, informative and competent. The driver arrived when he said he would in St Louis and the car arrived at the destination on time.
Great job in car delivery faster than promised and in great shape. The drivers provided great communication. I would recommend these guys. The price was better than others.
I used the expedited shipping option and they told me it will be picked up within 3-4days. Luckily my car was picked up on the very first day. It was assigned to one of their transport companies and I received my car within 10days. They are very professional.
From initial contact to finish, the customer service was great. When I had a question, I contacted them via email and they responded back right away. My car arrived in a timely manner, safe and sound.
Booking was easy. The price was lower than competitors. The pick up was within the period mentioned on the website for the selected choice. Delivery was relatively quick and easy.
Scheduling shipping was quick and easy. I really liked the fact that I could see my shipping options and pricing without giving personal information. My vehicle was scheduled for pickup sooner than anticipated! Vehicle was delivered quickly!
