Auto Shipping Group Reviews

Auto Shipping Group is a vehicle transport broker that arranges shipments to all 50 states, Puerto Rico and some international locations. The company works with a network of partnering carriers and can ship passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles and fleet vehicles.

You can get an instant quote online by entering your vehicle details and your desired pickup and delivery locations. Then, an ASG shipping specialist connects you with a licensed carrier and arranges all shipping details.

By law, all carriers that work with ASG must carry a minimum of $100,000 in cargo insurance, meaning your car is fully insured against damage during transit. Your existing insurance policy can serve as secondary coverage, and you can also purchase additional coverage if desired.

There are two main options for shipping your vehicle through Auto Shipping Group: open or enclosed carrier shipping.

• Open carrier: This is the most common and cost-effective way to ship; your vehicle is transported on a single- or multi-car open-air trailer. This option is ideal for everyday vehicles.
• Enclosed carrier: This premium service is ideal for classic or high-value cars. Enclosed carriers increase costs but offer greater vehicle protection by shielding your car from weather and road debris.

ASG only offers door-to-door transportation services, meaning your carrier will pick up and drop off your vehicle at your desired location. This is in contrast with terminal-to-terminal service, where you drop off and pick up your vehicle at a location designated by the carrier. ASG offers limited motorcycle transport, currently available only in 12 major U.S. cities.

The company doesn’t guarantee specific dates for transport, and instead designates a pickup and delivery window. Expedited services are available, but the company doesn’t disclose specific timelines or pricing online. Customers needing international shipments must contact the company directly.

The following estimates from Auto Shipping Group are in line with the national average cost to ship a car.

Open carrier:

• 500 miles or less: $1.84 per mile
• 501 to 1,500 miles: $0.90 per mile
• More than 1,500 miles: $0.58 per mile

Enclosed carrier:

• 500 miles or less: $2.52 per mile
• 501 to 2,500 miles: $1.24 per mile
• More than 2,500 miles: $0.83 per mile

We obtained three quotes to ship a 2020 Toyota RAV4 from Portland to San Diego, Baltimore to Phoenix and Boston to Miami by both open and enclosed carrier:

Shipping costs at ASG depend on the type of vehicle, distance and mode of transport. Online quotes aren’t guaranteed until a carrier is assigned and all your details are confirmed.

Payments are due once a carrier is assigned. If you pay in cash, a partial payment is due at booking, with the remainder due in cash on delivery. ASG offers a small discount of 3% to 5% on quotes for cash payments. Damage coverage of up to $100,000 is included with every quote.

In addition to standard vehicle shipping, Auto Shipping Group also offers its relocation services to military personnel making a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). This includes door-to-door service and a dedicated military support team. Military discounts may also be available upon request.

Yes, Auto Shipping Group is a reputable company. It works with a national network of vetted carriers and has over 35 years of experience in the business. Although ASG doesn’t guarantee an exact pickup or drop-off date for its standard service, the company says it does its best to accommodate requested dates.
