Why Direct Express Auto Transport
The Original Car Shipping Quote Calculator
In 2004, Direct Express Auto Transport changed how brokers in the the car shipping industry worked. We were the first to offer online visitors an instant vehicle shipping rate. No personal information is necessary to receive a quote. We originated the instant online auto transport quote. Our calculator is still the most sophisticated and best in the business. We have always respected our visitors’ privacy and are perhaps the only major auto transport broker to still do business that way. That is a very big reason why any discerning customer should choose Direct Express.

Our Vision
President Mike Rupers founded Direct Express Auto Transport in 2003 and still owns the company. At that time, nearly every auto transport broker refused to offer a price on services without learning the visitor or caller’s personal information, such as name, phone number and email address. 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. Mike Rupers vision was to go the other way and change all that.
Direct Express eliminated the auto shipping industry standard fourteen page contract because it was unfair to the customer. Today hardly no broker uses that horrible contract anymore because 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. We are constantly improving it. About four years later the competition began using a knock-off third rate software that still does not perform as well. Aren’t all copy-cats like that? We are still widely regarded as the authority on vehicle shipping rates and many of our competitors secretly use our quote calculator as a barometer.
