Flamingo Auto Transport LLC
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.

Company information
Held by the carrier, not Flamingo Auto Transport LLC. If your vehicle is damaged, the claim goes against the carrier’s policy. Always photograph the vehicle before handoff and document any damage on the Bill of Lading at delivery before signing.
About Flamingo Auto Transport LLC
Flamingo Auto Transport LLC books car shipping to and from all 50 states out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Its route pages include Alaska and Hawaii, and its terms cover ocean carriers for the sea leg. It arranges open car shipping, enclosed auto transport and door-to-door delivery. Its terms describe it as a broker that never takes custody of your vehicle.
You have 48 hours after delivery to tell Flamingo about damage. That's the reporting deadline in its terms, and it's what gets you the carrier's documents for a claim. The claim itself goes to the carrier, under the federal Carmack Amendment, because Flamingo's terms say it isn't liable for cargo loss or damage. Note any new damage on the bill of lading before you sign. A clean signature counts as delivery in good condition, whatever the lighting or weather.
Pickup and delivery dates are estimates, and the terms say Flamingo can't guarantee them. A guaranteed pickup date is sold as an extra, along with top-loading, covered transport and room for more belongings. The standard allowance is one suitcase or bag, up to 100 pounds, in the trunk. Cars going by sea must ship empty.
Flamingo's fee is due once a carrier accepts your order. You pay the rest to the driver on or before delivery, in cash, certified funds, a cashier's check or a money order. Personal checks and cards aren't accepted for that part. Canceling is free until a carrier accepts. After that, the minimum fee is $190, plus any dry-run charge, and only emailed cancellations count. Unpaid invoices carry 1.5% interest a month.
FMCSA's record for Flamingo Auto Transport LLC begins in 2021. It's registered at 1701 E 1st Street in Gulf Shores, Alabama, under USDOT 3597821 and MC-1220970. Its USDOT number is active. FMCSA lists its operating authority as not authorized as of October 18, 2026.
