The Process
How Car Shipping with Mercury Works
Shipping your vehicle with Mercury is simple. Here’s what to expect from quote to delivery.
Get Your Free Quote
Tell us the route, vehicle, and timing. Mercury reviews the shipment and prepares your quote.
Review & Book
Review the service and terms, then confirm your shipment. No upfront payment is required.
Approve The Offer
Mercury presents a carrier’s offer with price, targeted pickup window, and written terms. Payment is taken in full only after you approve a carrier’s offer.

The driver completes a condition report at pickup. Inspect the vehicle again at delivery before signing the Bill of Lading.
Why Choose Us
What Sets Mercury Apart
Founded in 2007, Mercury Auto Transport is an independent, founder-led auto transport broker serving customers nationwide.
Mercury Shield
Vetted Carriers Only
Finding a carrier is only the beginning. Mercury Shield is our internal carrier-screening and shipment-oversight process. It is not a private carrier network or a separate load board.
Before assignment, our dispatch team verifies the carrier’s identity, active operating authority, cargo coverage, safety history, and performance history. After you approve a carrier’s offer, we provide the carrier’s name, contact information, and pickup details.
- Carrier identity and business contact information
- Active FMCSA operating authority
- Cargo coverage confirmed with the carrier or its insurance agent
- Safety record and Mercury performance history
- Screening for identity fraud and double-brokering risk
Once your carrier is assigned, you get their name, contact info, and pickup details directly. No anonymous drivers, no cash at delivery, ever.
Simple & Secure
One Payment, One Contract
Pay Mercury directly by card or secure bank transfer. No COD, split payments, card fees, or surprise balance at delivery. Nothing is charged or held when you book. Payment is taken in full only after you approve a carrier’s offer.
Your written service agreement confirms the assigned carrier, price, route, service level, and payment terms. Carrier cargo coverage is governed by the carrier’s policy, including its limits, deductibles, terms, and exclusions.
No Surprises
Straightforward Pricing
You approve your price before you pay it. No undisclosed surcharges or processing fees, and no payment to the driver.
Online tools can provide a useful current market estimate or price range. An exact, agent-confirmed price requires a Mercury agent to review your route, vehicle, timing, and any pickup or delivery constraints. That human review usually takes about five minutes.

The Truth About Tracking
Many auto transport carriers are independent small businesses, and not every driver uses the same tracking technology. Mercury can invite the assigned carrier to share GPS tracking through MacroPoint. Carrier participation and device availability vary.
Whether or not GPS tracking is active, your Mercury team can contact the driver for a status update during support hours.
Dedicated Support
Real Agents, Real Oversight
Call Mercury and a real Mercury team member answers. Our customer-facing teams are based in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Your assigned agent and dispatch team remain your points of contact from quote through delivery.
Phone support: Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET, Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET
Online quotes are available anytime
Peace of Mind
Carrier Cargo Coverage Verified
Every assigned carrier must maintain cargo insurance. Before dispatch, Mercury verifies the carrier’s active operating authority and confirms cargo coverage with the carrier or its insurance agent. Coverage is provided under the carrier’s policy and remains subject to its limits, deductibles, terms, and exclusions.
If damage occurs, Mercury helps every customer get the claim started. Priority and Rush include managed claims assistance. Standby includes guidance and the carrier-insurer information needed for the customer to manage the claim directly.

The Mercury Guarantee
You approve your price before you pay it.
Your agent presents a carrier’s offer, the price and the targeted pickup window, and nothing is charged until you approve it. If that carrier cancels, we work to find a replacement at the same price and service level. If the only replacement costs more or changes what you booked, your agent brings you the new offer and you decide: approve it, or cancel for a full refund. Your service level is the tier you chose, Standby, Priority or Rush, plus any specific terms your agent wrote into your order. Your pickup window is a target we work, not a promised date.
No upfront payment required.
