Who We Are

Nationwide car shipping backed by practical experience, clear communication, and a team that helps you plan the move. Onyx Auto Transport coordinates open and enclosed vehicle shipping for individuals and businesses.

12+ Years of Experience

Practical auto transport knowledge behind each shipping plan.

21,000+ Vetted Carriers

A nationwide network for everyday cars and vehicles needing additional protection.

No Upfront Payment

No charge is processed until a carrier is assigned.

A Car Shipping Team That Understands Your Move

Your car may be part of a family relocation, a new job, a college move, or a purchase you found hundreds of miles away. Whatever brings you here, you need more than a price: you need to understand how pickup will work, which transport option fits your vehicle, and who to contact along the way.

Onyx Auto Transport helps customers arrange vehicle shipping nationwide. We review the route, vehicle details, readiness date, and access at both locations, then coordinate transport with a suitable carrier. Our dispatch team stays available for questions about scheduling, pickup instructions, and delivery planning.

We aim to make the details easier to manage. That means explaining the steps before you book, discussing special handling needs early, and keeping you informed as your shipment progresses.

Our Story: Experience Before Expansion

Our experience in auto transport began in 2012 with hands-on carrier operations. Working with vehicles, trucks, routes, and delivery schedules taught us what customers need to know before a shipment begins—and what can cause problems when important details are missed.

Onyx Auto Transport was established in 2023, building on that practical background to help more customers arrange nationwide vehicle shipping. The business has grown around a straightforward goal: connect customers with suitable transportation and provide useful support throughout the process.

Today, our team brings more than 12 years of industry experience and access to a network of 21,000+ vetted carriers. We use that experience to discuss realistic pickup windows, safe truck access, vehicle condition, and the right transport option for the move.

What You Can Expect From Our Team

Car shipping works best when the details are clear from the start. We explain the selected service, payment option, and estimated timing so you can prepare the vehicle and make arrangements at both ends.

Pickup and transit windows depend on the route, carrier availability, traffic, weather, and other operating conditions. We discuss estimates honestly and help you understand the next step when schedules change. If you have a firm deadline, unusual access requirements, or a vehicle that does not run, tell us before booking so those needs can be considered.

A Clear Shipping Plan

We review your pickup and delivery locations, vehicle condition, first available date, and transport preferences. The goal is to make important requirements visible before a truck arrives.

Help When You Need It

Speak with our team about your order, scheduling, or shipment updates. We coordinate with the assigned carrier and help you prepare the information needed for pickup and delivery.

Payment After Assignment

Booking does not trigger a charge. Payment is processed after a carrier is assigned, according to the payment option you select. Your booking details explain the amounts and timing.

Vehicle Shipping for Different Needs

Most customers start with the same question: how do I get this vehicle where it needs to go? The answer depends on the car, the route, and the level of protection you want. Our services cover personal moves, online purchases, dealer transfers, and other vehicle shipping needs.

Open Auto Transport

A practical option for most everyday cars, SUVs, and pickups. Vehicles travel on an open trailer, similar to the carriers used for dealership deliveries. Explore open car shipping →

Enclosed Car Shipping

An enclosed trailer provides added protection from weather and road debris. This option is often selected for classic, luxury, exotic, or collector vehicles. Explore enclosed transport →

Door-to-Door Service

Pickup and delivery are arranged as close to your addresses as the truck can safely and legally access. When access is limited, a suitable nearby meeting point is coordinated. Explore door-to-door shipping →

Personal & Seasonal Moves

We help with relocations, college moves, and seasonal travel. Plan around the vehicle’s readiness and the people available to meet the driver. Student car shipping →

Online Buyers & Resellers

Coordinate shipping between a seller, dealership, buyer, or business location. Confirm release instructions, keys, and pickup readiness before arranging transport. Online buyers & resellers →

Dealerships & Auto Auctions

We arrange dealer-to-customer deliveries, inventory transfers, and auction shipping. For Copart, IAA, and other auction shipments, call for an accurate quote based on the vehicle and handling needs. Dealership & auction shipping →

Licensed Operations. A Carrier Selected for Your Shipment.

Onyx Auto Transport is a licensed and bonded auto transport broker. We arrange transportation and coordinate the shipping details; the assigned motor carrier operates the truck and transports your vehicle.

Our published operating identifiers are USDOT 4171020 and MC 1604295. You can review company information through the FMCSA Company Snapshot. Carrier selection considers the route, vehicle requirements, operating authority, and insurance.

Your vehicle travels with a licensed and insured carrier. Ask our team about the coverage for your particular shipment, including applicable limits and exclusions. At pickup and delivery, review the vehicle condition with the driver and keep a copy of the inspection paperwork.

Learn more about car shipping insurance coverage, including carrier policy limits, vehicle inspections, and damage reporting.

Two Payment Options. No Charge When You Book.

Discounted Cash Price: A partial payment is processed after a carrier is assigned. The remaining balance is due to the carrier at delivery using the agreed payment method. Confirm the amount and accepted method before delivery.

One-Time Full Payment: The full amount is processed by credit or debit card after carrier assignment. With this option, there is no remaining transport balance to pay at delivery.

Your quote and booking details explain the selected option. If anything is unclear, speak with our team before booking. You are not charged simply for requesting a quote or placing your booking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Lela at Onyx was very responsive and gave the best value for transportation of my car. She clearly explained the terms for cash versus credit payments and sent  a quote within few minutes. Their quote was very reasonable compared to others. The quote also included insurance for your car.

The driver was courteous, picked and dropped the car on time. Because of the size of the truck you will need to drive your car about 5-8 miles  to their truck (it carries 8-9 cars) so in that sense it is not door to door service but I understand the restrictions because of narrow roads in neighborhoods.  Plan on having a ride once you drop. Same goes for pick up also. You get a better rate if you are flexible with picking and dropping dates. Don’t forget to remove EZ pass and such prior to dropping. If you pack the car make sure to cover contents with some blankets.

Overall, I have had good experience and would strongly recommend Onyx.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the years I've had several cars transported to Colorado, there are very few carriers that will come to this part of the US. Fortunately, I was put in contact with Onyx Auto Transport, they have provided shipping from the East Coast to Colorado and also another transport from Plano Texas. Both of these transports we're carefully monitored by Lela at dispatch, she immediately responded to any inquiries that I had about the process either by direct phone call or by text. Both transport drivers were very professional, and their rigs were carefully maintained.
Would highly recommend Onyx Auto Transport...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yes, I shipped a car from northern Virginia to Henderson, Nevada. Everything went well. The driver kept in touch. Let me know when he would be arriving to pick up the car. And call me and let me know when he was about an hour away to give me time to make sure I was there. And called me and let me know ahead of time when he would be here with the car. And called me again when he was about 45 minutes away. We're definitely recommend for any future halls
