The Industry Standard

Reliable Open Carrier Auto Transport

Experience the most cost-effective and efficient way to move your vehicle without sacrificing security. Our open-carrier network provides door-to-door service and full cargo insurance, ensuring your car is handled with the same 360° protection protocol we apply to every shipment.

The Affordable Way

The Right Choice for Most Drivers

Open carrier transport is the industry standard, the exact same method car manufacturers use to deliver brand-new vehicles to dealerships nationwide. If it is good enough for a factory-fresh Ferrari, it is more than good enough for your daily driver. It is ideal for anyone shipping a standard vehicle, relocating across the country, or looking for the most cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality or coverage.

As former fleet owners, we understand the mechanics of a safe journey better than any generic broker. We personally vet every carrier to ensure they meet our rigorous safety standards, offering specialized options like top-rack placement to protect your vehicle from road debris. By applying our 360-degree protection protocol to every open-carrier shipment, we ensure a seamless, door-to-door experience that prioritizes your peace of mind.

Full Protection

We treat every vehicle as if it were our own. Whether you are shipping a daily driver in an open trailer or a high-value classic in a climate-controlled enclosed unit, your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it is loaded until it is back in your hands.

We do not hide our coverage details in fine print; we provide verified carrier insurance documents upfront so you have total peace of mind. No matter the make, model, or value, your asset is protected by the highest standards in the industry.

Proven Integrity

Integrity isn’t just a word we use; it’s a standard we’ve met for over 12 years. Since 2014, we have maintained an industry-leading 99.7% service score on MoveCars.com based on over 1,500 verified customer ratings.

This history of transparency means you aren’t gambling with a new or unproven company. You are partnering with a veteran team that has built its reputation on honest communication and reliable delivery, one car at a time.

Zero Financial Risk

We believe you shouldn’t have to pay for a promise, only for results. That is why we never charge upfront deposits or hidden broker fees. Your financial security is our priority, which is why we also offer a 100% money-back guarantee if we cannot satisfy your specific transport needs.

By removing the financial barrier, we ensure that our interests are perfectly aligned with yours: we only succeed when your vehicle is safely secured and on its way.

Asset-Based Authority

Most companies in this industry are either just a broker with no hands-on experience or a carrier with limited reach. Secure Auto Shipping is a rare Asset-Based Authority with premier Carrier Affiliate status.

This unique hybrid model provides us with superior route oversight and the specialized insight needed to manage every detail of your transport.

While standard brokers simply hand off your vehicle to unknown third parties, our asset-based history and affiliate network allow us to oversee the entire logistics chain from our own 24/7 dispatch desk.

You get the vast reach of a national network combined with the accountability, professional vetting, and ‘boots on the ground’ expertise that only a team with a carrier background can provide.
