Commercial Client Testimonial
What commercial clients value
A dedicated coordinator, predictable invoicing, and dependable pickup windows matter when vehicle logistics affect business operations.
We've partnered with AutoStar for our dealership group's auction pickups for 3+ years. Their coordinator, Rachel, knows our weekly Manheim schedule, our preferred enclosed carriers for high-end inventory, and exactly how we need our invoices structured for our accounting software. The volume pricing saves us $4,000-$6,000 per quarter compared to one-off bookings, and we've never missed a pickup window--even when titles were delayed.

Commercial Auto Transport FAQs
Answers for dealerships, fleets, rental agencies, auctions, relocation teams, and other business shippers.
Commercial auto transport refers to business-related vehicle shipping for dealerships, fleet operations, rental agencies, auction houses, corporate accounts, or any business requiring ongoing or bulk vehicle logistics. Unlike consumer shipments, commercial accounts receive contract pricing, NET payment terms, dedicated coordinators, and volume discounts.
Yes. Commercial clients shipping 5+ vehicles per month or 50+ vehicles per year qualify for custom contract pricing with volume discounts.

Call 833-720-7827 to discuss your volume and receive a contract proposal within 24 hours.
Approved commercial accounts qualify for NET-15 or NET-30 payment terms with credit application approval. We accept ACH transfers, wire transfers, corporate checks, and corporate credit cards.

Most auction pickups occur within 24-72 hours of winning bid, depending on lot location and carrier availability.
