4 Signs of a Legitimate Auto Transport Company
Not every company quoting you is a real trucking company. Protect yourself by checking for these four things:
They Display a Real MC# and Own Actual Trucks
Search their MC# on the FMCSA website. If they market under a fake name with no MC#, walk away.
They Operate Under One Company Name & Bond
Federal law prohibits holding multiple motor carrier numbers. Companies that do so create confusion and offer zero protection.
They Have Verifiable Resources & Accountability
Real trucking companies carry procedures, resources, and protection. A zip code quote with no insurance details is a red flag.
They Demonstrate Real Commitment to Service
Owning trucks and having road experience makes a company dependable. All four protections together mean they’re committed to their customers.
Found a Cheaper Auto Transport Quote?
Ask These Questions First.
We understand why customers compare prices — everyone wants a fair deal. But in auto transport, the cheapest quote is not always the safest, fastest, or even the final quote.
Does the company own or operate trucks?
Does the company have licensed car-hauling experience?
Does the company have multiple hub or drop-off locations?
Is the price firm, or can it change later?
What happens if the driver cancels? Will they cover rental?
Who supports the driver during transport?
Who verifies the insurance and covers the deductible?
Can the company show real videos of its transport work?
| Cheap Quote / Sales-Only Company | Auto Express Inc. |

| Often competes mainly on lowest price | Competes on execution, protection, and trust |
| May quote first and find a driver later | Uses active trucking resources and route knowledge |
| Price may change when timing becomes urgent | Gives realistic/firm pricing to move the vehicle honestly |
| Blame driver cancellation or breakdown and your suffer loss | Plans around real-world transport challenges |
| Have no hub or drop-off options | Nationwide hub resources give customers flexibility |

We price the transport to execute — not just to win the order.

What You Need to Know Before Getting an Auto Shipping Quote
The auto transport industry is full of low-ball quotes that don’t deliver. Here’s what separates a real quote from a fake one:
Only car haulers with real road experience should quote auto transport—not phone sales agents reading from a script.
A zip-code-only quote is not a real quote. Legitimate companies need vehicle details, condition, and route to price accurately.
The cheapest quote is rarely the best. Companies that underquote often resort to fees, delays, and deceptive delivery tactics.
Auto Express quotes are firm for 30 days and backed by our TruePrice Protection guarantee.
