Overview
Mercury Auto Transport, headquartered in Davie, Florida, has been facilitating vehicle shipments nationwide since 2007, handling over 256,000 transports. Rather than operating its own fleet, Mercury functions as a brokerage, linking customers with a network of thoroughly vetted, licensed, and insured carriers. The process begins by listing your vehicle on Mercury’s national dispatch boards, allowing carriers to view and bid on the shipment.
Mercury Auto Transport specializes in shipping a wide range of vehicles, from standard sedans to large RVs, offering both open and enclosed transport options. Whether you’re relocating cross-country or need a vehicle delivered to Alaska or Hawaii, they provide reliable service. All shipments include door-to-door transport for added convenience.
What sets Mercury Auto Transport apart is its extensive service coverage, upfront pricing, and commitment to customer satisfaction. With a knowledgeable team overseeing the process, they ensure a seamless and stress-free shipping experience.
Services
Mercury Auto Transport offers a wide array of vehicle shipping solutions designed to accommodate diverse customer requirements. Whether you need to move a single car or manage the transport of an entire fleet, they provide dependable service to meet your needs.
With a focus on reliability and efficiency, Mercury Auto Transport specializes in vehicle shipping across the United States. They offer both open and enclosed transport options, allowing customers to choose the level of protection that best suits their vehicle.
Open Auto Transport
Open auto transport is the most widely used and budget-friendly option for vehicle shipping. Your car is secured on an open carrier, similar to the ones used by dealerships. Although the vehicle remains exposed to weather conditions during transit, this method is highly efficient and cost-effective. It’s a great choice for standard vehicles, providing dependable delivery while keeping expenses manageable.
Enclosed Auto Transport
Enclosed auto transport offers maximum protection for your vehicle by transporting it in a fully enclosed trailer. This shields it from harsh weather, road debris, and potential damage, making it an ideal choice for luxury, classic, and exotic cars. Designed for added security, this premium service ensures your vehicle arrives in top condition, providing peace of mind throughout the journey.
Flatbed Auto Transport
Flatbed auto transport is an ideal solution for oversized, uniquely shaped, or inoperable vehicles that cannot be accommodated on standard carriers. Utilizing a flatbed trailer, this method allows for easy loading and unloading of heavy machinery, construction equipment, or non-running vehicles. It provides a flexible and tailored transport option, ensuring safe and efficient delivery for vehicles with specialized needs.
Dealer Auto Transport
Dealerships that showcase new cars in their showrooms rely on transportation services rather than driving the vehicles to their locations. This is particularly important for dealers managing inventory across multiple locations or relocating unsold new vehicles to dealerships specializing in pre-owned cars.
Mercury Auto Transport provides comprehensive logistics support for dealerships nationwide, ensuring seamless vehicle transport across any city, state, or region. Additionally, they offer exclusive discounts and incentives for dealerships that choose them as their primary auto transport provider.
Classic and Exotic Car Transport
Mercury Auto Transport ensures a smooth and reliable classic car shipping experience. They partner with top enclosed carriers in the industry for maximum protection. However, if enclosed transport isn’t required, they can still connect you with the best carriers at competitive rates. Whether you need to transport a classic or exotic car, they offer nationwide shipping solutions to and from any location in the United States.
Motorcycle Transport
Motorcycles are smaller in size, making them easier to transport, but their shipping requirements can vary depending on the type of bike. For long-distance transport, enclosed trailers are typically used to ensure protection, though this method can be more costly. However, shipping motorcycles in an enclosed trailer is often more affordable because multiple bikes can be transported together in a single load. The more motorcycles headed to the same destination, the lower the shipping cost per bike.
Guaranteed Auto Transport
Delivery works a little differently, but Mercury Auto Transport can provide an estimated delivery date with a high level of confidence. This typically involves close coordination with the carrier to ensure timely arrival. However, despite careful planning, unforeseen circumstances such as traffic delays, bad weather, mechanical issues, or accidents can sometimes cause delays. While they strive to meet scheduled delivery dates, external factors may occasionally impact the timeline.
Pricing
Mercury Auto Transport provides clear and competitive pricing, ensuring customers understand the costs associated with vehicle shipping.
