Best Car Shipping Companies Of 2025
Overview Easy Auto Ship stands out as the best car shipping company overall, scoring 4.8 out of 5 for its various affordable shipping options. Founded in 2013, the company has expanded to cover all 50 states and ships internationally. While it serves as a broker instead of a carrier, Easy Auto Ship fully vets its partners before allowing them to ship vehicles. Learn more: Easy Auto Ship review We picked Easy Auto Ship due partly to its customer-first approach to many of its offerings, like its 30-day pricing guarantee, GPS tracking and free car wash upon delivery. Why We Like It Besides the perks above, we appreciate that Easy Auto Ship claims to have no hidden fees and provides an extra $100,000 in contingent auto insurance. A $150 cash discount is another bonus worth mentioning. Additionally, it offers free cancellation, price matching and a service guarantee. What We Don't Like Easy Auto Ship requires a $250 deposit, which isn't ideal. However, it does offer a pretty generous cancellation policy. We'd also like additional features like a 24/7 customer service line and a mobile app. Who It's Best For Easy Auto Ship can be a good option for many customers. It offers both long- and short-distance moving, and open and enclosed shipping. While prices tend to skew a little higher, the value is still there.
