Comparing car shipping companies

Every comparison on this page follows the same approach: facts about the other company come straight from its own public pages, each one dated to when we read it, and we state plainly where the other company wins out. We never claim to be cheaper, faster, or better rated unless a dated, same-route quote backs it up.

Named competitors

• Us vs Montway Auto Transport: the largest-network broker model, with a 30-day price lock and zero money due upfront.
• Us vs RoadRunner Auto Transport: a nationwide arranger offering online tracking and no deposit required upfront.

We'll add more named comparisons as their fact ledgers get finished.

Methods

Method pages tackle the either/or decisions that settle most shipments before anyone picks a provider: open versus enclosed transport, broker versus carrier versus arranged service, door-to-door versus terminal-to-terminal, and shipping the car versus driving it yourself. Each one goes live with its sources once its evidence review wraps up.

How to read a car-shipping comparison

Three questions reveal most of what separates one company from another: who actually moves the car (a broker's assigned carrier, or the company itself), when payment is due (before assignment, at pickup, or after confirmation), and whose insurance protects the car while it's in transit. Ask all three, and get dated answers in writing.
