Expedited Auto Transport

Need the car gone yesterday? We can work with that.

Sometimes auto transport comes with plenty of notice.

Sometimes the moving truck is already gone, your flight leaves tomorrow, and there’s still a car sitting in the driveway.

Autos On The Go offers expedited auto transport for shipments where timing matters and a standard pickup window simply won’t work.

We’ve been coordinating vehicle transport nationwide since 2008. When something needs to move quickly, we know where to look, what to offer a carrier, and just as importantly, what’s realistically possible.

What Is Expedited Auto Transport?

Expedited transport means we prioritize your shipment and work to secure a carrier on a much tighter timeline than we would with a standard booking.

In practical terms, we’re asking a driver:

What would it take to get this vehicle onto your truck now?

That may mean finding a carrier already nearby. It may mean paying a driver to adjust an existing route. On certain shipments, another solution may make more sense.

The details depend on where the vehicle is, where it’s going and what equipment is available nearby.

The objective is simple:

Get the vehicle moving as quickly as reasonably possible.

How Fast Can You Pick Up My Car?

Sometimes, same-day pickup is possible.

Next-day pickup is often more realistic.

And sometimes neither is.

We’d rather tell you that upfront than promise a pickup time we don’t control.

Auto transport isn’t quite like ordering a car service. We’re coordinating commercial trucks carrying multiple vehicles across established routes. A carrier has to be in the right area, have room for your vehicle, be heading in the right direction and have enough legal driving time to make the pickup.

When those pieces line up, we can move quickly.

When they don’t, we’ll tell you.

What Makes a Shipment Expedited?

Expedited transport is worth considering when you have a hard pickup deadline rather than simply wanting your vehicle delivered sooner.

Common situations include:

You’re flying or moving within the next day or two
A previous carrier cancelled
A vehicle was purchased and needs to leave the seller immediately
You’re facing a storage or auction deadline
Your moving plans changed unexpectedly
A dealership needs a vehicle moved quickly
You have very little flexibility around pickup
You need auto show car transport with a firm arrival deadline

If you have a week of flexibility, you probably don’t need expedited service.

We won’t sell you urgency you don’t have.

Why Does Expedited Auto Transport Cost More?

Because flexibility has value to a carrier.

Under normal circumstances, drivers build routes that make financial and logistical sense. They consider mileage, fuel, available space, pickup locations, delivery locations and the other vehicles already on the truck.

An urgent shipment can ask them to deviate from that plan.

Offering additional compensation can make your vehicle more attractive to a carrier who is able to accommodate it.

The expedited premium varies by shipment. Route, vehicle size, location, season and just how quickly you need pickup all matter.

We’ll tell you what we think it will take before you decide whether the faster timeline is worth the additional cost.

Expedited Pickup Isn’t the Same as Expedited Delivery

This distinction matters.

In most cases, expedited service is about getting your vehicle picked up quickly.

Once it’s on the carrier, the driver still has a route to run. There may be other pickups and deliveries along the way, required rest periods, traffic and weather.

If you also have a hard delivery deadline, tell us from the beginning.

That’s a different request, and we need to price and coordinate it accordingly.

What If a Carrier Can’t Get to the Vehicle in Time?

This is where experience becomes useful.

Depending on the circumstances, there may be another way to solve the problem.

For example, if you need to leave town before a long-haul carrier can arrive, we may be able to coordinate a local solution that gets the vehicle somewhere secure and accessible for the carrier to retrieve later.

Not every shipment needs this.

But when the normal solution doesn’t fit the timeline, we look at the problem rather than simply repeating that no trucks are available.

Open or Enclosed Expedited Transport

Expedited shipments can be arranged on both open and enclosed carriers, subject to availability.

Open transport generally gives us a larger pool of carriers to work with, which can be useful when timing is the priority.

If you’re moving an exotic, collector, luxury or particularly valuable vehicle, we can search for enclosed equipment. Our experience extends to specialty shipments, including National Corvette Museum auto transport for Corvette owners nationwide.

Just keep in mind that the more specific the requirements become, the smaller the available carrier pool may be.

If you need enclosed + immediate pickup + a very specific delivery date, tell us everything upfront.

We’ll tell you what we can realistically accomplish.
