Our prices are the most transparent in the industry. We charge flat fees for our services, and for the most part, on most orders, we have only 2 different prices.
By charging a flat, open, transparent fee, we shift the focus from "maximum profit" to prioritizing the customer experience. We don't "hide" what we are charging. We don't quote you a number, and then attempt to move it for pennies. Our quotes are based on live market data in real time. It is based on what it would take for ANY company or any person to move said vehicle at said price. We don't promise things that we can't deliver. We don't guarantee things that we know are unlikely to happen. We inform you if you have requests that simply aren't realistic. We are REAL. And that is what we pride ourselves on.
The auto shipping world is essentially a giant market place where auto transport brokers, dealers, logistics firms, and trucking companies come together to arrange transports across the USA. So when you request to have your car transported, we will research comparable live rates out of your area, and give you a range that represents to the best of our opinion, what you'll have to pay (to the truck) to have your car moved within 1-3 days. We do not list vehicles below the current market rate. Now, you may be asking yourself, wait, but what's the market rate? Great question. So the market rate is essentially the CURRENT rate that it will take to move your car in a reasonable, say 1-5 day time frame, which is what most of our customers are looking for. So there is no lag time with airRyd. Because we charge a flat fee, we have no incentive to monkey around with the order, once our fee is paid, our goal is to simply move your car rapidly, efficiently, and with the best possible trucking outfit available. You can compare that, to say another online broker, who will charge you $1000, which may or may not be enough to move the car, then, post the load at say $200 below what they know it will take to move it, and then you, as the customer, get to wait, and wait, and wait, endlessly pondering when your car might get picked up. Now, why would they do that? Good question. The reason there, is that they are trying to maximize their profit. So for instance, if they quote you a total of $1000, but get the car moved $100 or $200 below market rates, then they make more money. You as the consumer however, get what exactly? A third rate carrier hauling your car at a majorly discounted rate? A two week waiting period while they attempt to move your car at a price that only benefits them?
It's shocking, we know. But that is how transport pricing works, other than airRyd. We give you the live data, charge a flat fee over the final trucking rate, and that's it. You pay, what we would pay, other than our small facilitation fee. You can breathe easy, knowing, you now are in the know.
