About Vanta
Honest Pricing. Reliable Service.
Based in California
Most people who call us have already been quoted a price by someone else, then had it go up. That is the entire reason we quote the way we do: the number you get is the number you pay.
We are based in California and dispatch across all 50 states. If something changes on your shipment, you hear it from us first, not on delivery day.
The price you get is the price you pay.
Simple Process
How Vanta Works
Request Your Quote
Input your locations in our instant routing tool. Our system maps the route and calculates dynamic carrier transit estimates.
Book & Carrier Match
Our dispatch coordinators match your route and vehicle with a top-tier, licensed carrier from our hand-vetted network.
Door-to-Door Delivery
Your vehicle is picked up and transported safely. Receive daily status tracking and constant agent updates to delivery.
Step 1 · Your Quote Enter your route and vehicle. You get a price, not a callback request.
Step 2 · Carrier Assigned We match your route with a licensed, insured driver and confirm your pickup window.
Step 3 · Delivered Your driver walks the car with you, you sign off, and that's the job.
How your car can actually ship
Open carrier transport
Seven to nine cars on one trailer. It's how most vehicles ship, and it's the cheapest way to move a daily driver.
Enclosed shipping
Four walls and a roof between your car and the road. Worth it for low-clearance, collector, and high-value vehicles.
Door-to-door delivery
We come to your address. If a 75-foot rig can't fit down your street, your driver arranges a spot nearby that works.
Expedited shipping
Pickup in 24 to 48 hours when a start date or a closing won't move.
Dealer & auction transport
Inventory swaps between lots, plus auction pickups from Manheim, Copart, and IAAI.
Non-running vehicles
Winch-equipped carriers for project cars and anything that won't start. It just has to roll, steer, and brake.
Smart Planning Tools
Interactive Transport Calculators
Make informed decisions before booking. Find your optimal trailer type and calculate realistic transit times based on federal commercial driving regulations.
