Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Incredibly poor communication from both the driver and the company itself. They know your hands are tied and couldn't care any less once they have your money and belongings.

Thanks very much for dumping the fridge outside the rugby club because it was an inch too high for the door. I’m sure there’s an excuse (covid, health and safety or similar), but literally just wa... See more

Atrocious communication. Very late for pick up and drop off. Extremely slow to respond to messages and the person pretends like you don't have an ongoing conversation. Can't stick to a timetable or up... See more

I was hopeful about using this company based on the reviews, but ended up disappointed. My earliest ship date was August 2nd. I called on August 7th to get an update on the status and was told that I... See more

Professional

Professional, quick, fast and courteous. I was nervous. First time using a transport service. Don was great. Made it in 1 day. Thank you for not making me do the drive to get our truck!

Vehicle Shipping

This company is great! They picked up the car shortly after placing the order and delivered it within 1 week. Very easy to use their service. Pricing was awesome.

Had an awesome experience with these guys!

Order number: 221386
Had an awesome experience with these guys. My vehicle was actually shipped a day early which was great as I was on a time crunch. It arrived safely and with absolutely no damage at all. If I need to ship another vehicle I will definitely be using these guys again. Thank you to Jessie who helped out a lot!

Auto ship from San Diego to Charlotte

Hi,

I shipped my BMW from San Diego to Charlotte on 28th February and Driver Mike delivered this car on 10th March in Charlotte. Overall experience was good and representative Edith was helpful.
It would be great if Direct Express could able to give car shipment status during transportation of the car.
Order number was 221186 and your main customer service representative was Edith.

Awesome service

Awesome service was very skeptical of this process but needed to ship from Pittsburgh to LA a car for my daughter. Pick up was seedless and delivery was perfect too. Thanks to Jessie for her help in this process

Excellent Service and Quick Delivery

The process with Express Transport was very simple. We called their number, scheduled a transport and the car was shipped. There is usually a window of a few days between the first call and when the truck driver calls you to schedule the pickup time. However, the truck operator contacted us on the same day. My car was transported to North Carolina from Texas in 2 days. The truck operators were courteous and polite. Everything went smoothly. Bear in mind also that there was a winter storm across the whole country. The price is reasonable as well. Good job!

Highly recommended Direct Express Auto Transport. Excellent customer service! My car was delivered in a timely manner. I have used this company times already. Driver is very professional. They walked around the car to check for any damages. Within a few days, my car was delivered.

Transport was handled in an expeditious manner by a quality company

I purchased a Mercedes in Delaware and needed it transported to Boca Raton, Florida. One call to Direct Express set the process in motion. I asked that it be picked up on a certain date which was promptly confirmed by Direct Express. I was notified of the pickup and of the arrival date and approximate time. The day before delivery the driver called and confirmed the arrival time. The vehicle was delivered as expected. What more could I ask for? Overall this was a totally positive experience with a most reliable transport company. Thank you Direct Express!

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!! I originally started inquiring about vehicle transport at a website that sold my information to every transport company under the sun. I was inundated with phone calls and emails for weeks! I quickly decided I wasn't going to use any of the companies that were harassing me with aggressive sales tactics. Then I stumbled across Direct Express. They give a real quote without getting any personal info. What a basic concept! I loved how their website detailed the process that they go through to find drivers and how transparent it was about what payout goes to the drivers vs the broker. My car (order # 221027) was picked up and delivered quickly with no hassle. The car was picked up from a dealership and delivered to my door. This was a cross country transport and everything went exactly as Direct Express said it would. If I ever need car transport again, Direct Express will be the only one I call.

The entire process was quick and painless. Communication was excellent with detailed information. I received the car sooner than anticipated and in good condition. No issues whatsoever.

Excellent service

Excellent service. They found a carrier very quickly and the price was quite reasonable. I will use them again the next time I need a vehicle shipped.

They did a great job

They did a great job; I chose the cheapest (standard) rate, and got assigned a driver within 2 days. I ended up saving about $700 compared to what the out-of-state car dealer wanted to transport the car, and saved about $400 compared to what most other brokers were charging. I would definitely use them again.

Note that almost all brokers work the same way; what really matters is their knowledge of pricing to make sure that the price drivers are offered is high enough to get your car shipped in a reasonable amount of time. Any broker will occasionally have cars that are slow to be picked up (based on price, location, season, etc.).

I had a great experience with Direct Express Auto Transport. I loved getting an instant quote at 1am from the convenience of my couch. I paid my deposit and just like they promised, the next day I was contacted with information about my driver and when to expect a pick up. The driver was friendly and professional and my truck arrived on time.
