How Our Kentucky
 Auto Transport Works (Step-by-Step)
STEP 1: GET FREE, INSTANT QUOTE
Tell us your pickup and drop-off locations, the type of vehicle you're shipping, and your preferred timeframe. Our online quote form gives you a fast, accurate price or call us anytime if you’d rather speak to a real human.
STEP 2: CARRIER IS ASSIGNED
Once you’re ready to book, our dispatch team matches your route with a trusted, insured carrier from our nationwide network. We’ll confirm pickup and delivery dates that work for you.
STEP 3: VEHICLE PICKUP
Your driver will contact you before arrival. Together, you’ll complete a quick vehicle inspection and then load it safely onto an open or enclosed transport trailer, depending on what you chose. From there, it’s on the road.
STEP 4: YOUR VEHICLE DELIVERED
On delivery day, the driver will reach out again to coordinate drop-off. After a final condition check, you’ll sign off and pay any remaining balance directly. No surprises, just a safe and easy ride from start to finish.

Kentucky Auto Transport Resources
:Before or after your vehicle arrives in Kentucky, here are key resources and tips to make registration and driving super safe and easy:

Handle vehicle registration, title transfers, license plates, and renewals through the
KYTC website. You can also find your local County Clerk’s office for in-person services.

Planning to drive across the Ohio River? Some bridges like the
Lincoln Bridge or Lewis and Clark Bridge use RiverLink, an
electronic tolling system. Learn more at

- $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury
- $10,000 for property damage
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage is also mandatory.
Online Registration Renewal

Budget Auto Transporter Reviews
What Our Customers Say
“Brandi kept texting me updates, and the driver was super chill when he arrived. My Toyota made it to Kentucky without a scratch. 10/10 for communication and no drama.”
“After a bad runin with another shipping company that ghosted me, these folks were like a breath of fresh air. Called Budget and they had a driver lined up for my Mustang in under a day. Car arrived clean, on time, and with zero stress. I already told my cousin to book with them.”
“Super happy I went with Budget Auto Transporter. I needed to ship my dad’s old truck from Texas to Louisville, and they didn’t give me the runaround like some others did. Tyra explained every step, and I felt taken care of the whole way.”
“This was the third time I’ve shipped a car and probably the best experience so far. Budget Auto Transporter had great prices and zero surprises. The pickup window was tight and the drop-off happened while I was at work, but the driver waited around without a fuss. Appreciate that kind of service.”
