Affordable Auto Transport
LLC was founded after co-owners Grant Boshoff and Kim Barry tried
in vain to fit the coast-to-coast transport of their newly acquired
rally race car into an already stretched budget. Becoming disheartened
by the high rates being quoted by carriers they fell in with a friend
who happened to own a auto transport carrier and discovered some
surprising things about the auto transport industry, as follows:
1. More often than not the carrier with whom you contract
to move your vehicle does not actually end up transporting your
vehicle. Outside of a small number of large auto transport companies
that own 20-50 trucks, the average carrier in the US is a family-owned
business with 1-3 trucks in operation. However, they will still
give you a quote regardless of the origin & destination of your
vehicle, even if they do not have a truck in that area. Once you
contract with them the carrier then simply outsources your job to
another carrier who happens to have a truck in that vicinity.
2. The actual cost of transport that is charged between
carriers is, on average, $200 to as much as $600 less than the retail
price quoted to the vehicle owner. Thus a carrier can simply sell
you the job, outsource it to another carrier, and profit a few hundred
dollars for his trouble.
3. Regardless of who contracts with the vehicle owner,
the insurance coverage of the vehicle while in transit is ultimately
covered by the carrier actually transporting the load.
4. There are very few transport companies (carriers
or brokers) who are willing to take a small service fee for outsourcing
your load and pass on the savings to you.
Based upon the above Grant & Kim decided to offer
the consumer a simple, hassle free way to transport their vehicles
while retaining a small brokerage fee and passing on the balance
of the savings to the consumer. And thus was Affordable Auto Transport
LLC born.
On average we save you $100 to $300 off the retail
cost of your auto transport while at the same time removing the
headache of finding, screening and contracting with the hundreds
of auto transport carriers in the US.
