Positive AutoStar Transport Express Reviews

“We transported our vehicle from FL to CT this Spring. Everything from the time I requested the booking to the vehicle being delivered to CT was seamless. The driver was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way. I do this 2x a year and will never use another service again!”

“I hired AutoStart transport express and let me tell you is the best experience i have so fay with all the move that i done around the country, they took my cars from Ohio to Texas in 2 days and it was a very smooth operation. they were very nice and helpful with the entire process.”

Negative AutoStar Transport Express Reviews

“I only gave 1 star so I could leave this review, this company took my deposit promised a pick up date and never delivered on their contract. I delt with Sean Hancock was very quick to take my deposit and then I could never get him on the phone. When I called to cancel they said they could not refund the $200 deposit i had to call my credit card company to help me out which they did. Beware”

“OMG the worst con artist auto transport company ever. They make you sign a contract and get you to pay $275 up front and poof.. vanish disappeared no response for a week. Everytime I call they say they are working on a pick up. DO NOT SIGN their contract. Stay away from them, they are just a con dispatch terrible company.”

Any special documents for shipping your vehicle? (license, ownership…)?

If you are transporting within the continental U.S. from residence to residence… NO! You do not need to show your license, title, registration, or anything else. If you are transporting internationally, we will inform you which is the paperwork needed, according to the country of delivery.

Are there any hidden charges?

No – We include all costs of transporting your vehicle in our quote. Your quote includes pickup, delivery, insurance, and taxes.

Am I allowed to put personal items in the car?

The official answer according to the FMCSA and the D.O.T. is “no.” However, a common practice is to allow between 50-100 lbs in the trunk or out of the line of sight. This is really at the discretion of your carrier, though, as they risk hefty fines and lengthy inspections for carrying anything but motor vehicles.

Is my vehicle insured while it is being transported?

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Damages are very rare during transport, but we believe in being safe and not sorry. We only work with carriers that are fully insured and reliable as we have years of experience working with them. The Insurance belongs to your particular carrier Company and we keep copies of the policy on file for your protection. Here at AutoStar Transport Express, we take protecting your vehicle one step further than other companies out there by being made Certificate Holders on the insurance of the carriers with whom we work. This allows us to assist in expediting filing a claim on your behalf.

AutoStar Transport Express is a great company that offers not only car shipping. Their reviews are strong, their business license and accreditation is approved. We recommend using AutoStar Transport Express for you next shipment.
