Approved isn't just a name — it's something you have to earn. From the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) licensing that authorizes every load we move, to the carrier vetting that happens before a single vehicle is dispatched. Approved Auto Transport is a licensed auto transport broker. We select, vet, and coordinate an independent carrier for your shipment, and that carrier moves your vehicle. Nothing ships until it's Approved. Your total confirmed in writing. Real people working every load — for individuals, families, and dealer fleets across all 50 states.

Our Services
Open or Enclosed — Here's How to Choose.
Open Transport
The steady standard — right for almost everything you own.
If it's not something you'd garage-keep, Open is the smart, cost-effective way to ship it. Most loads carry 7 to 9 vehicles, so when cars are headed toward the same city, that cost gets spread across the group. The large majority of our open shipments get picked up within 72 hours — most on the very first available date.
Insurance-verified on every load, no exceptions.

Enclosed Transport
For anything you'd never want to see with a scratch.
Dream cars, new high-value builds, classics you still drive daily, anything lowered enough that a standard ramp is a real risk — this is where it belongs. Your vehicle rides fully sealed off from weather and road debris — including the flying debris that causes most windshield chips and cracks on the road. We run mostly hardside trailers (some softside), off a network we're selective about: roughly 3 in 10 carriers who ask to haul enclosed for us don't make the cut. Before dispatch, we send you a photo of the actual trailer your vehicle will ride on — not a stock image, the real one.

Coverage
Connecting every corner of the United States.
From the tip of Alaska to the Florida Keys, our vetted carrier network keeps your vehicle moving on schedule — licensed, bonded, and insured (USDOT #9677802 | MC #45556873). We run regular coast-to-coast lanes in every direction, and we don't just ship to hubs — we deliver to your driveway. After pickup, short hauls under 500 miles typically take 1 to 2 days, mid-range routes between 500 and 1,500 miles typically take 2 to 4 days, and cross-country routes over 1,500 miles typically take 5 to 9 days.
Know Where It Is
Call us at (888) 594-2804 and we'll tell you where your car is — the most recent GPS location from the driver's phone app, not a guess. We request tracking on every load. Updates arrive on the driver's phone schedule, so how often they come varies, and some drivers opt out. We check it through our team, so you get a straight answer without flagging down your driver mid-route.

5.0 · 15 Google reviews“Shipped my car down to Miami with this company and they were honestly great. Communication was super smooth from the start, and the driver kept me updated the whole way. Car showed up right on time and without a single scratch. Pricing was upfront with no weird hidden fees at delivery. Would definitely use them again if I ever need to move another car.”
“Fast, easy, at a fair price. I trusted Approved Auto Transport to haul one of my dream cars. The communication from the first call/quote and on was easy. A driver was found at a fair price and the vehicle was delivered on time (actually a day earlier than quoted). I would trust Approved Auto Transport with any other auto transportation needs I have.”
“This entire experience was amazing!! We are over the moon with excitement!! Thank you for taking such extreme care with our new baby!! Jake is such a professional. You can and should trust that he has your back. The best!!!”
