Services
Auto Transport
We provide nationwide auto transport for cars, trucks, SUVs, and ATVs using open and enclosed carriers. Our services cater to dealers, corporations, and individuals, ensuring secure, timely delivery. With options for both running and inoperative vehicles, we combine reliability with competitive pricing.
Enclosed Carrier Transport
Enclosed carriers protect high-end, classic, or low-clearance vehicles from weather and road debris. Ideal for specialty transport needs, this service offers enhanced insurance coverage and specialized equipment like scissor lifts. Advance booking is recommended due to limited availability.
Open Carrier Transport
Open carriers offer cost-effective, efficient transport for standard vehicles. As the most common method, they ensure faster delivery times due to widespread availability. While exposed to elements, vehicles are secured to minimize risks during transit.
Motorcycle Transport
Specialized transport for motorcycles using secure carriers designed to prevent damage. Our service includes pre-shipment inspection and handling of both operable and inoperable units. Experienced drivers ensure safe delivery to any U.S. destination.
Vehicle Inspection Services
We conduct thorough inspections at pickup and delivery to document vehicle condition. Customers or representatives must verify and sign documentation to ensure transparency. This process protects both client and carrier by recording any pre-existing or transit-related issues.
Questions
What is the difference between open and enclosed auto carriers?
Open carriers are cost-effective and common, but expose vehicles to weather. Enclosed carriers protect high-end or classic cars but cost more and require longer scheduling.
How should I prepare my vehicle for shipping?
Ensure operability, remove personal items, retract antennas, and maintain 1/4 tank fuel. Provide keys and disable alarms. A clean vehicle allows proper inspection.
Does Lone Star offer insurance coverage?
Yes, we include free comprehensive insurance for all shipments, with additional coverage available for brokered transports.
Can inoperative vehicles be transported?
Yes, we handle non-running vehicles but may apply additional fees or methods to ensure safe loading and transport.
How are shipping rates determined?
Rates depend on distance, carrier type, vehicle size, and fuel costs. Request a quote for accurate pricing tailored to your shipment.
Why use a company that acts as both carrier and broker?
This dual role ensures flexibility—we can use our trucks or trusted partners to balance cost, speed, and reliability for your specific needs.
