American Auto Shipping
This company currently receives an AVOID verdict because FMCSA records show an inactive registration or operating authority required for its services. This is a regulatory concern, separate from customer reviews: positive feedback does not resolve it. We recommend choosing another provider unless updated FMCSA records confirm the required status is active.

About American Auto Shipping
American Auto Shipping calls itself a vehicle shipping agent, which means it doesn't book or move anything. The Las Vegas, Nevada, company sends your request to licensed auto transport companies, they make competing offers, and the one you choose books the trip under its own FMCSA authority. Requests cover open car shipping, enclosed auto transport, door-to-door delivery and expedited shipping in the 48 contiguous states. Partners handle Alaska and Hawaii on ocean carriers such as Matson.
A $300 fixed charge starts every estimate, and the whole formula is published. Mileage is priced in tiers, from $0.90 a mile for the first 500 miles down to $0.30 past 2,000. Fuel tracks the weekly federal diesel price. A southbound trip in October or November gets 15% added. Enclosed adds 50%, a non-running car 20%. You see a range, and the company says plainly it's an estimate, not a quote.
Its partner page names four agency partners: Mercury Auto Transport, Yellowfin Logistics, Easy Auto Ship and Quality Car Move. Each links to its SAFER record, so you can check authority before you book.
American Auto Shipping says it takes no deposits or payment of any kind and doesn't sign the shipping contract. Cancellation rules and payment timing come from the partner you pick.
Transit runs about 2 to 4 days for 500 miles and 6 to 10 for 2,500. Cars, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs and non-running vehicles all qualify, and dealers get a business page. Damage claims go to the carrier's cargo insurance, and the site says you can't file one unless the damage is on the bill of lading at delivery.
