About Car Shipping Guide
Our Story
Car Shipping Guide was born from frustration. In 2014, David Reynolds was relocating from Boston to Tampa for a new job. He needed to ship his car, but every website he visited felt like a lead-generation trap with no real information. Prices were hidden behind forms. Reviews seemed fake. Nobody answered simple questions like “how much does it actually cost?” David shipped his car that summer and paid $400 more than he should have. That experience led him to build the resource he wished had existed: an honest, data-driven guide to car shipping in America.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make auto transport simple and transparent. We believe every consumer deserves access to real pricing data, honest carrier reviews, and straightforward advice before they ship a vehicle.

Licensing & Compliance
While Car Shipping Guide is an informational resource and not a carrier, we exclusively partner with USDOT-licensed, FMCSA-registered carriers who maintain active MC authority and minimum $750,000 cargo insurance.
We take compliance seriously because your vehicle’s safety depends on it. Every carrier in our network is verified for:
- Active USDOT registration
- Current FMCSA operating authority (MC number)
- Minimum $750,000 cargo insurance coverage
- Clean safety record with no unresolved complaints
- Proper surety bond or trust fund agreement
Our Commitment to You
The auto transport industry has a trust problem. Too many companies use bait-and-switch pricing, phantom carriers, and hidden fees. At Car Shipping Guide, we built our business on doing the opposite. When we quote a price, that is the price. When we say a carrier will arrive on Tuesday, we mean Tuesday. When something goes wrong (because logistics is not perfect), we pick up the phone and make it right.
We have helped 85,000+ vehicle owners ship their cars across the country. Every single one of them trusted us with something valuable. That trust is not something we take lightly.

What Sets Car Shipping Guide Apart
There are hundreds of auto transport companies out there. Many of them will say the same things: great service, low prices, insured carriers. Here is what actually makes Car Shipping Guide different.
First, we are selective about our carrier partners. Not every trucker with a CDL and a trailer makes it into our network. We verify USDOT authority, insurance coverage, safety records, and customer feedback before approving any carrier. Second, we communicate. You will never wonder where your car is or what is happening with your shipment. Third, we stand behind our pricing. The quote we give you is the price you pay. No last-minute increases, no mysterious fees at delivery, no bait-and-switch tactics.
Car Shipping Guide was built on the belief that auto transport should be simple, predictable, and fair. That is what we deliver, one vehicle at a time.
