Auto Transport Professionals

Auto Transport Professionals is a nationwide car shipping broker that arranges vehicle transport across 48 U.S. states and Washington D.C. The company matches each shipment with an insured, FMCSA-authorized carrier and coordinates door-to-door logistics, including pickup and delivery inspections documented on the Bill of Lading.

The company operates by phone Monday through Friday from 9 am to 9 pm ET and offers a 3-day pickup window for customers. It provides services including open auto transport, enclosed auto transport, motorcycle transport, and shipping for inoperable and electric vehicles.

Customers can get a free, price-locked quote by providing vehicle details and pickup and delivery locations. The process involves matching the shipment with a licensed, insured carrier that runs the specific route requested.

Pricing varies by distance, vehicle size, and transport type. Short regional moves under 500 miles typically start around $400, while cross-country open transport for a standard sedan typically runs $1,325 to $1,665 depending on the specific origin and destination.

Enclosed transport adds 40 to 60 percent to the open transport figures. High-volume corridors like Florida to California or New York to Florida tend to price at the lower end of the range because carrier competition is stronger.

There is no deposit required and no payment is collected at booking. You provide a credit card when you book to hold your order, but it is not charged until the carrier confirms vehicle pickup.

A 3% credit card fee applies unless the customer pays via Zelle or cash on delivery with a credit card partial payment upon pickup. This fee can be avoided by choosing alternative payment methods.

Larger vehicles occupy more space and weigh more, affecting carrier pricing. Full-size pickups and SUVs typically run 10 to 20 percent higher than a standard sedan, while oversized vehicles like dually cabs push costs further.

The company is located at 864 100th Ave N, Naples, FL 34108, and can be reached by phone at 888-222-2065 or text at 239-259-8198. The office operates by appointment only with no need to visit in person.

Alexander Bethanis is the owner and founder, holding a Class A CDL. He started riding along on transport runs from New England to Florida with his father as a kid and later drove trucks before moving to the brokerage side.

Every carrier in the network is verified for active FMCSA operating authority, valid cargo insurance, and a clean safety record. The company also evaluates carriers based on dispatch history, communication reliability, and how they handle vehicles once loaded.

At pickup and delivery, both the customer and the driver conduct a walk-around inspection documented on a Bill of Lading. This document serves as protection if anything goes wrong during transit.

The company serves 561 cities across 48 states and Washington D.C. It specifically mentions serving snowbirds with seasonal round-trips between Florida or Arizona and other locations.

The website states that competitive quotes are provided within an hour during business hours. Customers can also call or text to get a price for their car.
