Frequently asked questions
How are these companies ordered?
Ordered by each company's Trustpilot rating, adjusted for how many reviews it has and how recent they are, so a high rating from a handful of reviews — or from a big but dormant review history — doesn't outrank a similar rating a company is actively earning. Companies without a usable rating follow, A to Z. Haulwide doesn't host reviews yet, and no company can pay for a higher position.
Company ranking methodologyAre brokers and carriers listed together?
Yes. Each listing shows whether the company is a broker, a carrier or a marketplace. A broker arranges your shipment with a carrier; a carrier owns the trucks that move your car.
Broker vs. carrierHow often is this list updated?
Review figures are checked by hand and dated on the page. Once Haulwide collects its own verified reviews, companies will be ranked by Haulwide Score and refreshed every quarter.
How can I check that a car shipping company is legitimate?
Look up its USDOT or MC number in the FMCSA database to confirm active authority and insurance, read recent reviews, and be wary of anyone asking for a large deposit before a carrier is assigned.
Verify a company
Should I pay a deposit to book?
Many reputable brokers charge nothing until a carrier is assigned, and many carriers collect payment at pickup or delivery. Be cautious of large non-refundable deposits paid before anyone has agreed to move your car.
Avoid car shipping scamsIs the company with the lowest quote the best choice?
Not always. A quote well below the market rate for your route may not attract a carrier, which can delay pickup for days. Compare several estimates and ask whether the price is guaranteed once a carrier accepts.
How to choose a car shipping companyWhich are the top-rated car shipping companies?
The companies at the top of this list are the highest-rated on Trustpilot once the score is adjusted for how many reviews each one has and how recent they are, so a strong rating a company is actively earning outranks an equally strong one built on reviews that are now years old. Open any company to see its current rating and review count before you book.
