What ShipYourCarNow does

ShipYourCarNow is a privately held auto transport brokerage and logistics platform founded in 2004 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The company connects vehicle owners and businesses with a vetted network of FMCSA-registered carriers, offering nationwide shipping across all 50 U.S. states plus international service via ro-ro and containerization. Its service portfolio spans open and enclosed car transport, door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal delivery, expedited shipping, and specialty categories including motorcycles, boats, RVs, and heavy equipment. A B2B division branded SYCN Auto Logistics, established in 2010, serves dealerships, auctions, fleet managers, and remarketing companies through a SaaS-based transport management platform.

The underlying technology includes a SaaS platform for quoting, booking, and managing vehicle transport, supported by more than 400 integrations into dealer, auction, and fleet management systems (including CDK Global). Operational tooling includes GPS tracking (currently covering approximately 25% of orders), digital Bill of Lading documentation, and Google Maps-based distance calculation. The company maintains a 97% guaranteed pickup SLA compliance rate, supported by a curated internal carrier network supplemented by external dispatch platforms.

The business model is transactional brokerage: the company earns fees on each shipment facilitated between shippers and carriers, with average ticket sizes ranging from $500 to $1,500 depending on distance, vehicle type, and service tier. Go-to-market is hybrid — a self-serve online quote tool and app for consumers, supplemented by 24/7 phone-based sales advisors, plus dedicated B2B account management and technology integrations for enterprise clients.

Direct peers

• Montway Auto Transport: One of the largest U.S. auto transport brokers with nationwide door-to-door car shipping for consumers and dealers. Directly competes with ShipYourCarNow on consumer relocations, dealer logistics, and integrated carrier sourcing.
• Sherpa Auto Transport: Tech-enabled auto transport broker offering instant online quotes, carrier vetting, and price-lock guarantees. Directly competes with ShipYourCarNow on consumer-facing digital experience and broker-to-carrier marketplace dynamics.
• Easy Auto Ship: Auto transport broker serving individual shippers and dealerships with nationwide coverage. Competes head-to-head with ShipYourCarNow on instant quotes, multi-vehicle shipping, and broker-led pricing transparency.
• uShip: Online marketplace where carriers bid on shipments including cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and heavy equipment. Comparable multi-vertical marketplace model and self-serve consumer quoting flow.
• AmeriFreight: Established U.S. auto transport broker offering open, enclosed, and door-to-door shipping for cars, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles. Comparable B2C + multi-vehicle focus and similar carrier-broker model.
• Auto Transport 123: Auto transport broker competing on price, customer service, and carrier network scale. Direct consumer-facing competitor with overlapping service portfolio (open, enclosed, door-to-door).

Broad incumbents

• eBay Motors: Major online marketplace for vehicle sales with integrated shipping offerings. Indirectly comparable through online-car-sale transport flows ShipYourCarNow serves today and provides an alternative channel that could disintermediate broker-based shipping.
• CarsArrive (KAR Global): B2B-focused vehicle logistics platform from KAR Global providing transportation, inspection, and title services for auctions, dealers, and remarketing. Comparable B2B/auction/dealer customer base and technology-led logistics, but part of a much broader auction-services portfolio.
• Central Dispatch: Industry-standard load board and transportation management platform used by auto transport brokers and carriers. ShipYourCarNow itself supplements its internal network through Central Dispatch, and the platform competes indirectly on broker-to-carrier matching efficiency.

Emerging players

• Carvana: Online used-car retailer that handles vehicle delivery logistics directly to consumers. Overlaps with ShipYourCarNow's online-car-sale delivery use case and is increasingly bringing vehicle transport in-house, posing long-term competitive risk for B2B remarketing shipments.
