FAQS
Everything you'd want to ask first.
How is my auto transport rate calculated?
Your rate is based on four factors: route distance, vehicle type and size, transport method (open vs. enclosed), and current carrier availability on your lane. Seasonality affects pricing, which is why we lock your rate at booking — the number you confirm is the number you pay. No post-booking surcharges.
Why do I see different prices from different brokers?
Most rate differences come down to carrier quality and broker practices. Lower-priced quotes often reflect lower-tier carriers or rates that shift after you book. Pivot prices to match you with vetted carriers at your confirmed rate. We’d rather lose a price comparison than dispatch a carrier we wouldn’t put our own vehicle on.
Is there a deposit? When do I pay?
A deposit is collected at booking to secure your carrier slot. The remaining balance is paid to the carrier at delivery — cash or certified check, directly to the driver. Pivot charges nothing at delivery; your coordinator explains the full payment structure at booking.
What factors affect the price of shipping my car?
The cost of auto transport depends on several factors, including the distance of the shipment, vehicle size and weight, transport type (open or enclosed), pickup and delivery locations, time of year, and current carrier availability. Expedited shipping and inoperable vehicles may also affect pricing. We provide transparent, competitive quotes with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before booking.
How do I know the carrier you assign is trustworthy?
Every carrier in our network is carefully vetted before handling a shipment. We review their FMCSA compliance, safety record, insurance coverage, and performance history to ensure they meet our high standards. We prefer working with trusted carriers we’ve built long-term relationships with, giving our customers added confidence throughout the shipping process.
If a shipment requires us to expand beyond our preferred network, we source carriers only through reputable, verified platforms and apply the same strict screening process. Our commitment to safety, reliability, and professionalism never changes because the quality of the carrier reflects the quality of our service.
Can I get a guaranteed delivery date?
Because road conditions, weather, traffic, and carrier schedules can change unexpectedly, most vehicle shipments are scheduled within an estimated pickup and delivery window rather than a guaranteed date. If your shipment is time-sensitive, we offer expedited and priority transport options that provide faster service and a more predictable delivery schedule. Our team will keep you informed throughout the journey with timely updates on your vehicle’s progress.
