About Car Dealer Shipping
Auto dealerships live and die by inventory velocity. The faster you can source, transport, and sell vehicles, the more profitable your operation becomes. Best American Auto Transport Inc Car Dealer Shipping program is built to match the speed and volume demands of modern dealership operations — from single dealer-trade transfers to full lot-to-lot bulk inventory moves. We partner with franchise dealers, independent lots, used car supercenters, and online dealerships across the United States. Our dealer shipping program provides consistent, reliable transport backed by volume pricing, consolidated load management, and the kind of service reliability that keeps dealership GMs and fleet managers coming back. For dealer trades — moving a vehicle from one location to another to fulfill a specific customer order — speed is everything. Our priority dispatch ensures dealer trade vehicles receive the fastest possible carrier assignment, often picked up within 24-48 hours of booking. For bulk inventory moves, we coordinate consolidated loads that maximize trailer space utilization and minimize per-unit costs. Our B2B dealer portal provides real-time tracking of all active shipments, estimated delivery windows, and consolidated invoicing.

Pro Tip for Car Dealer Shipping
Consolidate multiple vehicles on a single 9-car hauler going to the same destination. A full load typically reduces the per-unit cost by 20-30% compared to booking individual vehicles separately.
Flexible Pickup & Delivery
Choosing a five-day window for pickup and delivery can lower your shipping cost. Carriers can plan routes more easily with flexible dates, which means more options and better pricing for you.
Hub City Advantages
For your auto transport needs, choose a location near major highways. Spots close to major interstates attract more carriers, giving you more options and more competitive rates on your shipment.
Open Trailers
Open trailers cost less than enclosed trailers and work well for most standard vehicles. If your car doesn’t need extra protection from the elements, an open trailer is the smart, budget-friendly choice.
Factors that Affect Car Dealer Shipping Costs
Distance
The farther your car travels, the more you’ll pay. However, longer trips often cost less per mile than shorter ones.
Route
Shipping along major highways is cheaper and faster. Rural or off-the-beaten-path routes cost more due to limited carrier access.
Season
Summer and snowbird season drive prices up. Shipping during slower months, like fall or early spring, can save you money.
Vehicle Type
Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks take up more space and use more fuel. Expect to pay more than you would for a standard sedan.
Traffic Patterns
Busy travel weeks, like Thanksgiving, can slow down delivery times. Booking during lighter traffic windows helps keep costs and delays down.
Carrier Availability
During peak season, carriers fill up fast. You may wait longer for pickup, so book early to lock in your preferred dates.
Open vs Enclosed
Open trailers are the most affordable option. Enclosed trailers offer extra protection but cost more — ideal for luxury or classic cars.
Population Density
Shipping to or from a busy city can cost more. Dense urban areas have more traffic and tighter access for large carriers.
