Quick answer

AAAT is a licensed auto transport broker: you get a route-based quote, choose open or enclosed service, and for online bookings we save your card but charge $0 until a qualified carrier is assigned and your vehicle is dispatched. Transit time depends on distance and carrier routing—typically roughly 3–10 days for many domestic moves. Carriers maintain cargo insurance; see our contract terms and VS3 security checks for how we verify trucks and drivers before pickup.
