Concierge service

A boutique broker, not a nationwide call center

Enterprise Auto Transport is a concierge auto transport service. We do not take bookings through an anonymous online checkout, and we do not hand your vehicle off to a dispatcher you will never meet. Every move starts with a conversation — because we will not book a car until we understand exactly what you need, where it is going, and how you want it handled.

Personal service first. A licensed coordinator speaks with every client before booking. We confirm the route, the vehicle details, timing, and any special handling — enclosed, inoperable, modified, or white-glove — before a contract is ever written.

No online booking traps. We do not believe a vehicle that may be worth more than a house should be scheduled with a few clicks and a credit card. If a broker will not get on the phone with you, that is a red flag.

Broker fee and carrier fee are separate. The deposit we explain up front covers our broker fee only — it is the same price for everyone. The carrier fee is separate, exactly the way the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration expects it to be. We operate by the rules.

We know our carriers. We are a small, owner-operated team based in Southwest Florida. The majority of carriers we dispatch are carriers we have worked with before, either through our SWFL hub or through the same load boards our competitors use — the difference is how we vet and how we treat them.

U.S.-based, English-speaking team. We do not hand your vehicle off to an overseas employee. Our entire operation is based in the United States, and every rep you speak with speaks English.

The difference between a real broker and a sales room

We believe roughly 99% of "brokers" advertising online are not real brokers in the way a licensed realtor or insurance agent is. Many are unlicensed sales agents working on commission splits between their boss, the carrier, and themselves. That split creates pressure to short-change the carrier, hide the deposit, and promise "no deposit up front" while they shop your load to the lowest bidder.

  • They refuse to disclose the broker fee because the fee is often layered and negotiable at the customer's expense.
  • They low-ball the carrier first to see how cheaply the job can be moved, then raise the price on you after you are committed.
  • Some spend tens of thousands of dollars per month on Google ads and bury bad reviews with manufactured positive ones.
  • Large overseas operations employ teams to write fake reviews — a pattern that often shows up in former employee reviews on Glassdoor.

How we operate instead

  • One licensed coordinator handles your move from quote to delivery
  • We quote your actual lane, not a teaser price designed to get a card number
  • The deposit is explained up front and covers our broker fee only — same price for everyone
  • The carrier fee is separate, the way the FMCSA expects it to be
  • If we ever pay the carrier on your behalf, that money is protected by our $75,000 FMCSA surety bond
  • The balance goes to the carrier at delivery, not to a third-party pool
  • We vet authority, insurance, safety record and prior performance before dispatch
  • Average pickup is 1–4 days from the date the vehicle is ready
  • Your vehicle is never handed off to an overseas employee — our entire team is U.S.-based

About the bond: The FMCSA requires every licensed auto transport broker to maintain a $75,000 fmcsa surety bond. This bond exists to protect shippers and carriers against fraud, failure to pay, or breach of contract. If we ever collect a carrier payment from you and do not pay the carrier, the bond is there to make the carrier whole — and that is why we keep broker fees and carrier funds completely separate. We prefer the carrier be paid by you at the time of delivery. Most carriers accept cash or Zelle; most do not accept credit cards. Some will accept Venmo or Cash App, but those apps charge the carrier processing fees, so please consider adding a tip to cover those fees if you choose to pay through an app.

We are not an overseas operation and we are not a 200-seat call center. We are a small, U.S.-based, owner-operated brokerage with a physical hub in Southwest Florida. If you want a concierge who answers the phone, knows your name, and treats your vehicle like it is their own, you are in the right place.

In the news

Featured in the Naples Daily News

Naples Daily News logo

Naples Daily News

Collier County, Florida

Enterprise Auto Transport was included in Naples Daily News coverage of how Collier County businesses adapt to the end of tourist season — the annual stretch when seasonal residents close up their homes and head north.

When season winds down in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs and Estero, the traffic thins out and so does the work for a lot of local businesses. Auto transport runs the opposite way. The end of season is exactly when snowbird vehicles need to move north, and the northbound March–May window is one of the two busiest stretches of our year.

Season ends, we get busier

March through May departures are booked three to six weeks ahead. Carriers price northbound loads out of Southwest Florida on how full their trucks already are, not on the calendar date you call.

Local, owner operated

A licensed agent answers the phone here in Southwest Florida. Same person from your quote through delivery.

Vetted carriers only

Every carrier is checked for active authority and cargo insurance coverage before dispatch, with $250k open and up to $2M enclosed cargo limits and soft-tie systems on enclosed loads.

Open carrier or enclosed hauler

Most vehicles ship safely on an open carrier. Enclosed transport adds a hard wall between your vehicle and the road, and is what we recommend for classic, exotic and low-clearance cars.

Why a licensed broker matters

Most of the people you talk to online are sales agents, not brokers. A realtor works under a licensed broker, must pass a state exam, carries errors-and-omissions insurance, and can lose their license for misrepresenting a deal. If they mishandle money or a contract, there is a state board, a broker of record, and real consequences.

Auto transport has none of that. Anyone can call themselves a "broker agent," hire overseas salespeople, and start taking deposits and credit card numbers for vehicles that cost as much as a house. No license is required to answer the phone. No broker is supervising the sale. No state board polices the promise. Overseas call centers routinely handle sensitive credit card information with no U.S. accountability, no bond, no DOT authority, and no MC number. When something goes wrong, the person who took your deposit is gone.

Enterprise Auto Transport is different. We are a licensed, bonded property broker with valid DOT authority on file. Your contract is with us, your payment is protected by our $75,000 FMCSA surety bond, and the team you speak with is based in Southwest Florida. That means real accountability, verified carrier relationships, and people you can find if you need us.

Carrier relationships

Good carriers are the entire auto transport business model

The driver and carrier assigned to your vehicle decide whether it ships on time, arrives undamaged, and gets delivered without excuses. Everything else — the quote, the website, the sales pitch — is secondary. That is why the most important decision a broker makes is how they treat the carriers who actually move the cars.

  • Carriers choose brokers based on communication, fair treatment, and respect
  • Carriers avoid brokers who double-dip, mislead trucks, or send fake orders
  • Loved brokers get the best carriers and the fastest pickups
  • 99.9% carrier rating on Central Dispatch

Before pickup

Personal items: what you can and cannot load

Beware: do not overload your vehicle

Do not put more than 100 pounds of personal items inside the car. Do not load your car like Noah's Ark. Extra weight changes the carrier's fuel costs, trailer balance and insurance exposure. If you need more than 100 pounds, you must discuss it with your coordinator before dispatch — many carriers will not allow it at all.

Never ship these inside your vehicle

Pets, live plants, firearms, ammunition, illegal drugs, prescription medication, hazardous materials, explosives, flammables and perishables are never allowed. If a carrier finds any of these items, he may refuse the load on the spot.

Our standard with every carrier

We put in our contract with every carrier that our clients are allowed up to 100 pounds of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. If a driver tries to charge you extra for the first 100 pounds, call us immediately at (239) 273-4649.

What leading companies typically allow

Most major auto transport brokers and FMCSA-licensed carriers follow roughly the same rules for personal items. The limits exist for weight, safety and insurance reasons.

  • Up to 100 lbs of personal items is the common limit
  • Items must stay in the trunk or below the window line
  • Nothing can block the driver's view or access to controls
  • Carriers do not insure personal belongings inside the vehicle
  • Hazardous, illegal, perishable and live items are prohibited
  • Excess weight may result in extra fees or refusal at pickup

If you do not tell us about extra weight

If you show up with more than 100 pounds and never told us, expect the carrier to charge you whatever his rate is — and it will be high. He may also tell you to remove the items before he loads the car. Save yourself the headache: tell your coordinator during booking so we can negotiate the right carrier and the right price up front.

About Our Company

How it works

Four steps from quote to delivery

No surprises, no runaround, no vanishing dispatcher.

  1. 1

    Get your quote

    Tell us the route, the vehicle and your dates. A coordinator prices your actual lane and replies within one hour — every quote is hand-quoted for accuracy.

  2. 2

    We dispatch a vetted carrier

    We confirm authority, insurance and safety record before a truck is assigned, then send you the driver's direct number.

  3. 3

    Pickup and inspection

    The driver photographs the vehicle, you both sign the bill of lading, and it is loaded with soft-ties onto a full-size semi carrier.

  4. 4

    Tracked delivery

    Track the vehicle in transit, get a call before arrival, inspect at delivery and sign off. That's it.

See the full process

After dispatch

What if my car is dispatched and I cannot reach my driver?

Once your vehicle is on a truck, the driver and their dispatch team become your direct point of contact for everything related to pickup timing, delivery timing and payment. Here is how the relationship works — and the best way to get answers quickly.

What we handle

Our job is to negotiate the rate between you and the carrier, make the reservation, and set up the contract. We do not schedule pickup or delivery windows.

What the carrier handles

Once a carrier is assigned, the carrier and their team handle all calls about pickup, delivery and payment. They are independent contractors with their own schedules.

The fastest way to reach your driver

Please contact your carrier at the direct number provided by your sales representative. We recommend sending a text first and giving the driver a little time to respond — they may be loading, unloading, or driving and cannot answer immediately. The number you have is the same number we would call.

Only call Enterprise Auto Transport about carrier matters if you have tried reaching the carrier yourself and have not been able to get through. We are happy to help, but in most cases a quick text or call to the driver is the fastest path to an update.

What clients say

Verified reviews published by real customers on TransportReviews.com.

I transported the car from SF Bay Area to Northern Virginia. Rena was very well versed and explained me the whole process including the comission and what can go wrong and right. She understands the car transportaion industry very well and very transparent about the process. My car was delivered on time without issus and i would definetly recommend Enterprise Transprt and Rena to anyone who need Car transportation service
Arun Pradhan · SF Bay Area, CA → Northern Virginia · Verified on TransportReviews
I can't say enough positive remarks about the service Rena provided transporting my vehicle from Idaho to California. This was my first experience with this type of service and it could not have went any better. Rena kept us informed from the first call and throughout the entire process and the cost was more than fair compared to the other quotes I received. I would recommend Rena and Enterprise Auto Transport to anyone that wants reliable, honest and trustworthy people handling their auto transport at a fair price.
John Cain · Coeur d'Alene, ID → Huntington Beach, CA · Verified on TransportReviews
I had an amazing experience when it came to shipping my vehicle. It was my first time ever shipping a vehicle, or rather had one shipped to me, and Rena went above and beyond to make sure that I didn't have to do anything. The deliver was on time and the carriers that she uses are equally professional. I will definitely use Enterprise Auto Transport when I purchase another vehicle and I will recommend them to everyone.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does it cost to ship a car?
Most cross-country moves fall between $900 and $1,800 open, and $1,500 to $3,000 enclosed. Distance, vehicle size, route density, season and operability all move the number. We quote your specific lane, not an average.
How long does transport take?
Roughly 500 miles per day once loaded. Coast to coast is typically 6–9 days; regional lanes under 800 miles are often 1–2 days. Expedited service compresses that meaningfully.
Is my vehicle insured?
Yes. Every open carrier we dispatch carries $250,000 in cargo coverage and every enclosed carrier carries up to $2,000,000. You receive the certificate before pickup on request.
Do you use small trailers or tow dollies?
Never. We move vehicles exclusively on professional semi-truck car carriers operated by career drivers.

Know before you book

An honest disclaimer about this industry

The deposit is charged at the time of booking, and we will always tell you exactly what it covers: our fee for sourcing, vetting and dispatching a licensed, insured carrier. The balance is paid to the driver at delivery. A deposit is not a red flag — a broker who refuses to explain their fee is.

At Enterprise, you do not pay three separate fees. Our fee is the only fee we charge, and the rest of the money goes to the driver. That leaves more money in the driver's pocket, which means a higher-quality carrier — with a better safety record and lower insurance deductible — accepts your vehicle. We are not the Spirit Airlines of the auto transport industry.

We believe the cheaper the rate, the worse the carrier's rating and the higher his deductible. It is a myth that your car is 100 percent insured. Every cargo policy has a deductible that the carrier must pay before the insurer pays anything. If a carrier does $500 worth of damage to your car but his deductible is $5,000, the insurance company will either kick the claim out or require him to pay that deductible out of pocket. He will not do that. A cheap carrier will not fix your car, and the dispute becomes a civil matter between you and the carrier. That is why we do not chase the cheapest quote like our competitors — it is inviting problems.

That is why we encourage every customer to sort any company's reviews by lowest rating before booking. A high average can hide damaged vehicles, truck fires, or bait-and-switch pricing that other companies have buried. We are proud of our own record, but we still want you to verify it for yourself.
