Fastest Auto Transport
The fastest option is an expedited pickup.
The fastest auto transport method out there is probably going to be an open auto transport carrier, mainly because the term “fast” in the car shipping industry is pretty relative. Fastest auto transport services don’t necessarily entail getting your vehicle from pickup to drop off in a day; it means getting your vehicle picked up a day or two after you book your shipment with your transportation company. And there’s a big difference between the two: one that carriers can somewhat control, and the other they just can’t.
The one that they can is the time between booking and pickup. If you’re looking to get your vehicle picked up tomorrow and you haven’t booked with a shipping company yet, you’re probably going to be looking for expedited auto shipping services. Expedited transportation is much more expensive than standard shipping because, like overnighting a FedEx package, it takes a lot more effort and work to make sure that a carrier can get your vehicle picked up next-day, whereas standard shipping will normally take anywhere from one to ten days to get your vehicle picked up. But if you’re looking for the fastest auto transport service you can find, expedited transport is probably your best bet.
Now, this won’t get your car from Seattle to Miami any faster; it just means that it’ll get it onto a carrier faster. Auto transport carriers are considered property-carrying commercial motor vehicles and as such are governed and regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and there are very strict laws regarding how far they can travel, how fast they can travel, etc. Commercial drivers can drive no more than eleven hours within a fourteen-hour window, must take a break of at least thirty minutes after eight hours of driving, and must take ten hours off duty before starting a new day. That is why a coast-to-coast trip usually takes ten to fourteen days. They must also comply with all speed limits and could lose their licenses for repeatedly speeding.
When you’re looking for fastest auto transport services, make sure that you understand that we’re dealing with the pickup window, which is, again, anywhere from one to ten days from your date of booking. Expedited services will help you get your vehicle picked up usually within 24 to 48 hours (72 hours at the maximum, typically), but it will cost a pretty penny more. Finding a carrier can take longer from hard-to-reach or less popular locations, which is another reason the pickup window varies. Make sure that your budget can handle expedited shipping before you try for it, and remember, a pickup date can’t be promised. It’s about as fast as shipping companies can go with the laws how they are.

What customers said
This is the first time we used this service. They were amazingly prompt on the pick up and delivered early. Andrew was very communicative and pricing was very fair. Car was delivered in the condition it was picked up in. I would recommend them to anyone looking to long distance ship a vehicle. Andrew was great to work with.
I spoke with Andrew who turned out to be the owner of the company and he provided the exceptional customer service that he promised. He answered the phone whenever I needed information. A very pleasant experience overall.
Andrew was truthful and trustworthy. Past experiences created skepticism in me regarding having an auto shipped. However, Andy assured me his brokerage was different. He was totally forthcoming. I will, without reservation, use Cruise Control to move all of my vehicles! Andrew you rock!
