Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is auto transport?
Auto transport is a professional specialty business of moving your personal vehicle from one location to another without adding mileage or wear and tear to your investment.

Is my car transported on an airplane?
No. AutoPlane is a reservation company who arranges to ship your vehicle on car carriers.

Why is the company named AutoPlane if the cars aren’t transported on an airplane?
Starting in the 1970s there was a company called “Autobus”. A bus would transport the customer while their car followed on a car carrier. Then came “Autotrain”, the customer and their car would travel by train for an average of 18 hours to their destination. In today’s fast paced world the modern mode of travel is by air. Thus following logical sequence, AutoPlane has been created as the most innovative, convenient, and time saving service for those who wish to travel with their vehicle.

Is AutoPlane a broker?

Can I pack my car with personal items?
Each vehicle may be packed with up to 100 lbs. of cargo. (That equates to two mid-size suitcases and golf clubs). The reason each car’s cargo must be limited is because there are highway weight limit requirement laws, thus, the restriction must be passed on to each and every vehicle loaded onto the carrier.
