When you’re looking to ship your car, you’ll notice that many auto transport brokers ask for a deposit upfront—sometimes even before a carrier is assigned. At Navi Auto Transport, we refuse to play that game. Here’s why.
1. Deposits Don’t Guarantee Service
A lot of companies will take your deposit right away, then scramble to find a carrier later. If they can’t find one at the price they promised, you’re left stuck—out money and without a pickup. At Navi, you don’t pay a cent until we’ve secured a carrier and your shipment is scheduled. That way, you only pay when real progress is made.
2. No False Incentives
Some brokers use deposits as a tactic to “lock you in” so you don’t look elsewhere. The problem is, this puts the customer at a disadvantage—you’ve already paid, so you feel trapped even if the company doesn’t deliver. We’d rather earn your trust with transparency and results, not by holding your money hostage.
3. Protecting Customers from Surprise Charges
The deposit game often hides the real price. Companies lure customers with a lowball quote, take the deposit, then later call back with excuses like “the carrier asked for more.” At Navi Auto Transport, the price we agree on is the price you get. No bait-and-switch. No deposit games.
4. Confidence in Our Process
We don’t need deposits because our network and systems work. We’ve built one of the fastest-growing auto transport companies in the U.S. by being upfront, efficient, and reliable. Our carriers are carefully vetted, and our process ensures your vehicle is protected and delivered without gimmicks.
5. Pay Only When You’re Scheduled
At Navi, you pay only once a carrier has been assigned to your vehicle and your shipment is ready to roll. Until then, your money stays where it belongs—with you.
Final Word
Navi Auto Transport is proud to stand apart in an industry where too many companies rely on the deposit game. We believe in fairness, transparency, and results. When you ship with us, you don’t just get a quote—you get peace of mind knowing you’ll only pay when your car is truly on its way.
