About Hilton Auto Transport
Hilton Auto Transport started in 2004 as a family owned business in Torrance, California. What began as a local South Bay operation grew into a nationwide vehicle shipping company that now reaches all fifty states.
The company is family operated and now woman owned, and built its reputation on a zero-upfront-payment policy: you are only billed once an insured carrier has been dispatched to pick up your car.
That approach has earned Hilton Auto Transport five consecutive Angie's List Super Service Awards, an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and the 2023 Best of Torrance Award for Vehicle Shipping Agent.

What Customers Say
-
This company was AMAZING. Woman owned and super hard working! I emailed her frantically 4 days before my car needed to be shipped because a different company was not finding me a driver in time. She answered me that night at about 9pm and the next morning already had a driver for me. My car was picked up on the afternoon I needed it to be picked up on with no issues or delays! She gave me a reasonable price that was cheaper than every other major company and that stayed the price with no hidden fees. The process was so easy, Nichole is amazing!!! I got my car within 5 days from California to Florida. I highly recommend and will definitely be using again!

We were moving our son's car from AZ to TN. Nichole (Hilton Auto Transport) did a fabulous job securing not only a wonderful driver to come get the car, but gave us a good price! Most other companies were wishy-washy. Nichole worked diligently to find the best transport group, who she uses regularly. The company was on-time and delivered the car when promised. I would highly recommend giving Hilton Auto transport a call whenever you need to move a vehicle. They are top notch! Sue B

When we moved from NY to LA last year, the process of getting our cars moved was BRUTAL - to be 100% honest. The whole thing seemed more like getting involved with the mob and as soon as I tried to google an estimate, my phone started ringing off the hook with everyone trying to claim they were the best and not to trust anyone else and to jump to book now immediately with them. For this move back to NY, I wanted to go local and use someone I could trust and Nicole was 100% that and more! We had to ship a car from Torrance to Boca Raton Florida and another from Torrance to NYC. The costs were minimal and the stress was simply nonexistent. It was a breeze. Use this company. A true lifesaver!!

Hilton Auto Transport was referred to me over 5+ years ago and I have had nothing but responsive and stellar service 24/7. The pricing is always fair and the dispatcher will be on call until your car is picked up or dropped off. Being bi-coastal, I have shipped both my Range Rover and Panamera numerous times between NYC and CA all of which arrived safely and with zero complaints. The drivers are always communicative with the dispatcher which makes the experience trustworthy and reliable. I wouldn't waste my time shopping around if you're looking for quality and reliability, Hilton transport will always be our first and only option.

I chose to contact Hilton Auto Transport because I had a problem communicating with a previous company. Nichole provided us with great service. She did everything she could to arrange transportation for our car from Seattle to Houston. We also needed a covered trailer and she found the perfect setup. Very grateful for Nichole in customer service and Vitelli, the truck driver for great service. Vitelli checked the car periodically- the picture I am sharing is what he sent me during the transport to show it was safe and sound. Our SUV arrived safely and it was delivered at the time quoted. I 100% recommend Hilton Auto Transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the shipping process actually work?
Once you book, Hilton Auto Transport confirms your order and finds a licensed, insured carrier for your vehicle. When a carrier is dispatched, you get their contact information directly so you can coordinate pickup. The carrier delivers your vehicle, and any remaining balance is paid directly to the carrier at delivery.
How does a pickup window work?
A pickup window is the range of days a carrier expects to arrive, rather than one guaranteed date, since the exact day depends on the carrier's route and other pickups along the way. Ask for your expected pickup window when you request a quote.
How long does auto transport take?
Transit time depends mostly on distance and route. A shorter regional trip can take just a few days, while a coast-to-coast shipment often takes one to two weeks door to door. These are general patterns, not guarantees, so ask for a specific window when you request your quote.
Why does shipping a truck or SUV cost more than a sedan?
Carriers can only haul a certain amount of weight and length per trailer. A larger truck or SUV takes up more space than a sedan, so fewer vehicles fit on the same trailer, which is why larger vehicles typically cost a bit more to ship.
Does my personal auto insurance cover my car during shipping?
Your personal auto insurance typically does not apply during transport. The carrier assigned to your shipment carries its own insurance, which is what covers your vehicle in transit and is included in every quote from Hilton Auto Transport.
What type of damage is not covered?
Carriers generally cover damage caused by their own negligence while your vehicle is in transit. Damage from theft, vandalism, severe weather or similar events is typically not covered by the carrier and should be handled through your own auto insurance policy.
What should I do if my vehicle arrives with damage?
Before the driver leaves, point out any damage and make sure it is noted directly on the bill of lading, then keep a copy for yourself. Take photos as soon as possible and notify Hilton Auto Transport right away so we can help you work with the carrier's insurance to resolve it.
Do you offer military or senior discounts?
Yes. Active duty military, veterans and senior customers qualify for a discounted rate on nationwide vehicle shipping.
What hours can I reach you?
Our team is available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific time, 365 days a year, with 24/7 support once your vehicle is actively in transit.
Has Hilton Auto Transport won any awards?
Yes. Hilton Auto Transport has received the Angie's List Super Service Award five years in a row, based on ratings from real customers, along with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and the 2023 Best of Torrance Award for Vehicle Shipping Agent.
