DEFINITION & OVERVIEW

What Is Auto Transport?

Auto transport — also called car shipping or vehicle shipping — is the professional service of moving a vehicle from one location to another using a specialized carrier truck, rather than driving it yourself. It's used for everything from local relocations to coast-to-coast moves, online vehicle purchases, dealership transfers, and military reassignments.

Vanta Auto Transport organizes its offerings into a few clear categories: shipping methods (like open and enclosed transport), delivery models (like door-to-door and expedited service), vehicle-specific solutions (for trucks, motorcycles, EVs, and more), and customer-specific programs (for military members, students, dealerships, and relocating families). Every service shares the same foundation: FMCSA-licensed carriers, full insurance coverage, and a 100% locked-in price.
